  2. 16. Bronchial Carcinoids

    Author : Dan Granberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Bronchial carcinoids; immunohistochemistry; prognostic markers; diagnosis; octreoscan; circulating hormones; treatment; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : Bronchial carcinois are subdivided into typical and atypical. Atypical carcinoids are more malignant, but typical carcinoids may also influence survival. In the present study immunohistochemistry was performed to identify prognostic markets in patients with typical bronchial carcinoids. READ MORE

  4. 17. Refinement of porcine models in diabetes and transplantation research

    Author : Elin Manell; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Animal models are widely used in biomedical research aiming to prevent and improve treatments of diseases. The 3Rs (replace, reduce, refine) are considered when working with laboratory animals. Socialisation and training of pigs in research are important to avoid stress responses that could potentially affect research data. READ MORE

  5. 18. Current Medical Treatment of Endocrine Pancreatic Tumors and Future Aspects

    Author : Marie-Louise Fjällskog; Morten Vatn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; pancreatic tumors; somatostatin analogs; cisplatin; etoposide; somatostatin receptors; immunohistochemistry; tyrosine kinase receptors; platelet-derived growth factors receptors PDGFRs ; c-kit; epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR ; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; alfa-interferon; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : We treated 16 patients with somatostatin analogs combined with α-interferon and achieved a biochemical and/or radiological response in 56% (median duration 22 months). We consider this treatment a good alternative for patients who fail during chemotherapy or who do not want to/cannot receive cytotoxic drugs. READ MORE

  6. 19. Diabetes-induced Alterations in Renal Microcirculation and Metabolism

    Author : Fredrik Palm; Per Liss; Peter Hansell; Per-Ola Carlsson; Gerald DiBona; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; diabetes mellitus; kidney; nephropathy; oxygen tension; haemodynamic; nitric oxide; oxygen consumption; radical oxygen species; polyol pathway; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Diabetes-induced renal complications, i.e. diabetes nephropathy, are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The exact mechanism mediating the negative influence of hyperglycaemia on renal function is unclear, although several hypotheses have been postulated. READ MORE

  7. 20. Adult Stem Cell Plasticity, Hype or Hope?

    Author : Jalal Taneera; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine human and vertebrates ; pancreatic beta cell ; stem cell ; plasticity ; Medicin människa och djur ;

    Abstract : Several studies have reported that bone marrow (BM)-derived stem cells have the capacity to give rise to cells of different type of tissue; an ability termed stem cell plasticity or transdifferentiation. Controversies exist as to how frequent this phenomenon is, or if it may be explained by alternative mechanisms. READ MORE
