  2. 11. Minimally-invasive breast interventions : methods for high yield, low risk, precision biopsy and curative thermal ablation

    Author : Kai-Uwe Schässburger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Advances in medical imaging and the introduction of population-based screening programs have increased the detection rate and overall proportion of small breast tumors. In addition, progress in technology and medical science, in combination with efforts to minimize morbidity, have resulted in the emergence of minimally invasive image-guided interventional procedures for both diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

  4. 12. Studies on the interaction of human cells with transplantable materials for skin repair and cardiovascular surgery

    Author : Katarina Jansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cell culture; Keratinocytes; Fibroblasts; Endothelial cells; Reepithelialization; In vitro endothelialization; Tissue engineering; Biomaterial: Dermal substitute; Synthetic vascular graft; Heart valve bioprosthesis;

    Abstract : Tissue engineering is becoming an important field for the development of new tissues in vitro for replacement of diseased or worn out parts of the body. This thesis describes some characteristics of cultured human cells seeded on transplantable materials for skin repair and cardiovascular surgery. READ MORE

  5. 13. Studies of molecular features and novel prognostic biomarkers of cutaneous melanoma

    Author : Iva Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; primary cutaneous melanoma; chronic sun-damage; chronic sun-damage skin; gene expression profiling; immunohistochemistry; tertiary lymphoid structures;

    Abstract : Cutaneous malignant melanoma is a highly heterogeneous disease. Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of stage IV disease and is now successfully administered as adjuvant treatment in stage III and soon in stage II. Correct identification of the patients at high risk for progressive disease who will benefit from the treatment is crucial. READ MORE

  6. 14. Immunological mechanisms in atopic dermatitis : clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Maria Tengvall Linder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : atopic dermatitis; Cyclosporin A; cytokines; eosinophils; lgE; lgE receptors; Pityrosporum orbiculare; patch test; skin biopsy specimens; T cells;

    Abstract : The aim of the study was to investigate immunological mechanisms in atopic dermatitis. Serum IgE levels are elevated in 80% of atopic dermatitis patients and CD4+ T cells and environmental allergens are known to be of importance in the pathogenesis of the disease. READ MORE

  7. 15. Immunological and inflammatory mechanisms in ocular allergy with special reference to vernal keratoconjunctivitis : clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Per Montan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : allergic conjunctivitis; allergen challenge; atopy; conjunctival biopsy; eosinophils; ECP; IgE; immunohistochemistry; inflammation; interleukins; T-cells; tears; vernal keratoconjunctivitis;

    Abstract : Ocular allergy encompasses a wide range of conditions, most of which implicate IgE in the pathogenesis. In contrast to the benign nature of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC), the less common chronic eye diseases vernal and atopic keratoconjunctivitis (VKC and AKC) are severe and debilitating disorders.
