  2. 6. Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury

    Author : Melroy Alistair D'Souza; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a complex phenomenon occuring in response to interruption of the liver’s blood and oxygen supply and the subsequent restoration of blood flow and tissue oxygenation. Techniques to reduce blood loss and other intra-operative manoeuvers during liver resection can cause hepatic I/R injury. READ MORE

  4. 7. Liver transplantation and the role of adjuvant therapy for advanced primary liver tumours

    Author : Gunnar Söderdahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Liver transplantation; hepatocellular carcinoma; primary liver tumours; adjuvant therapy; haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.;

    Abstract : Liver transplantation (LT) for unresectable locally advanced primary liver tumours (aPLT) is associated with an inferior survival compared to other established indications. As organ shortage in most regions is the major factor limiting the transplant rate, a careful selection of patients accepted for LT is necessary. READ MORE

  5. 8. Studies of ischemia and reperfusion in muscle and liver on glutathione and amino acid metabolism in man

    Author : Bo Westman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Oxidative stress increases the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can induce damage and breakdown of enzymes and lipoproteins. This leads to impaired cellular function and ultimately to death of cells and eventually organ failure. ROS are thought to be responsible for the damage during reperfusion following ischemia.

  6. 9. Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors : Clinical Studies, Novel Serum Biomarkers and Sensitivity to Cytotoxic and Targeted Agents

    Author : Kosmas Daskalakis; Peter Stålberg; Per Hellman; Olov Norlén; Robert Bränström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SI-NET; fibrosis; locoregional surgery; liver transplantation; biomarkers; ex vivo sensitivity.;

    Abstract : Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors (SI-NETs) are indolent neoplasms with an increasing annual incidence of approximately 1/100 000 people. They are often diagnosed at a late stage, restricting treatment efficacy. READ MORE

  7. 10. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in the treatment of symptomatic portal hypertension

    Author : Kerstin Rosenqvist; Rickard Nyman; Charlotte Ebeling Barbier; Fredrik Rorsman; Lars-Gunnar Eriksson; Lars Lönn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Portal hypertension; TIPS; transjugular; portal venous thrombosis; mesenteric venous thrombosis; liver cirrhosis; interventional radiology; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Abstract : Portal hypertension (PHT) is a condition with serious complications, such as variceal bleeding, refractory ascites and bowel ischemia. The cause of PHT may be pre-, intra- or post-hepatic. Initial treatment is pressure-reducing drugs and the treatment of acute symptoms. READ MORE
