2. 1. Structured zeolite adsorbents for PSA applications

   Author : Alessandra Mosca; Joeri Denayer; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical Technology; Kemisk teknologi;

   Abstract : Zeolites are microporous crystalline aluminosilicates with unique properties, and are therefore used in adsorption processes, for membrane separation, and as catalysts. Thin zeolite films grown on honeycomb monolith supports represent a new type of material and may be used as structured catalysts and adsorbents, and improve the processes significantly. READ MORE

4. 2. Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer - studies on angiogenesis and ADAMTS1

   Author : Helene Gustavsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Prostate cancer; Androgen-independent; Castration resistant; Hormone refractory; Angiogenesis; Microvessel density; ADAMTS1; LNCaP; VEGF; TSP1;

   Abstract : Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard treatment for advanced prostate cancer since prostate tumors initially are dependent on androgens for growth. However, most tumors will eventually relapse and grow in a highly aggressive and androgen-independent (AI) manner. READ MORE

5. 3. Optimized use of MRI in a PSA based prostate cancer screening program

   Author : Jonas Wallström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MRI; prostate cancer; screening;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to optimize different aspects of the use of MRI in screening for prostate cancer. Paper 1 was based on preoperative MRI in a prostatectomy cohort. READ MORE

6. 4. Neoadjuvant hormone treatment in localized prostate cancer : a clinical and histopathological study

   Author : Magnus Hellström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Localized prostate cancer; radical prostatectomy; neo-adjuvant androgen deprivation; GnRH-agonist; histopathology; immunohistochemistry; image analysis; cancer volume; DNA ploidy patterns; PSA in serum; follow-up; prognosisStockholm 1996;

   Abstract : Surgical treatment of localized prostate cancer may be hampered by the spread of cancer through the prostate capsule and in the surgical margins. The prostate is dependent on androgen hormones for its growth and function. READ MORE

7. 5. Prostate cancer : investigating diagnosis, treatment and outcomes

   Author : Axel Möller; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Prostate cancer is difficult to study. The prostate is located so that it is hard to palpate and because of the dense pelvic bones it is hard to visualize using radiology such as computed tomography. The prostate increases in size with age and it can be irregular in shape and consistency without the presence of cancer. READ MORE
