  2. 21. Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome : a disorder of cholesterol synthesis : diagnosis, treatment and pathogenetic aspects

    Author : Lena Starck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome; cholesterol; cholesterol treatment; dehydrocholesterols; lathosterol; oxysterols; blood paper specimens; simvastatin; clinical scoring.;

    Abstract : In 1993 it was first suggested that the Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS), described almost 30 years earlier as a malformation syndrome, is caused by defective synthesis of cholesterol. Hypocholesterolaemia and accumulation of the immediate precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol was consistent with deficient activity of the enzyme in the last step of the synthesis, 7-dehydrocholesterol-7-reductase.

  4. 22. Evaluation of medical and/or surgical treatment of anosmia/hyposmia in association with inflammatory disease of the upper airway

    Author : Ebba Hedén Blomqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Nasal polyposis; olfaction; medical surgical treatment; corticosteroids; scoring; staging; endoscopy; symptoms; anosmia; hyposmia; olfactory threshold test butanol ; computed tomography; sinuses; well-being; clinical; evaluation;

    Abstract : Background: There is a lack of evidence-based, prospective studies in treatment of nasal polyposis. The correlations between symptoms, polyp scores and computed tomography (CT) scans have not been studied sufficiently. Little, if any, sense of smell is common in nasal inflammatory disease.

  5. 23. MRI assessment of haemophilic arthropathy

    Author : Björn Lundin; Lund Diagnostisk radiologi; []

    Abstract : Haemophilia is a recessive genetic bleeding disorder in which coagulation time is prolonged due to the absence or malfunction of either of the serum proteins Factor VIII or IX. Joint destruction following repeated haemarthroses is the main cause of morbidity in haemophiliacs, and such arthropathy can be prevented or postponed by implementing prophylactic therapy with factor concentrate at an early age.

  7. 25. Population-based studies in Myelodysplastic syndromes : Prognostic scores, socioeconomic status, and therapy-related disease

    Author : Daniel Moreno Berggren; Elisabeth Ejerblad; Sören Lehmann; Martin Jädersten; David Bowen; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to expand the epidemiological knowledge of the haematological malignancy MDS and the related condition chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML). Using nationwide registers, the papers in this thesis address aspects of prognostication, comorbidity, socioeconomic status, and therapy-related disease, using a population-based approach. READ MORE
