  2. 11. Priming and activation of neutrophils from blood and tissue

    Author : Lisa Davidsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neutrophil; priming; gout; inflammation; transmigration; neutrophil extracellular traps NETs ;

    Abstract : Inflammation is a powerful process, involved in many disease states, as well as in physiological situations. Neutrophils, the main characters of this thesis, are potent immune cells with the capacity to regulate inflammatory responses. In health, circulating blood neutrophils are regarded as quiescent, with limited responsiveness to stimuli. READ MORE

  4. 12. Studies of the synovial membrane in chronic rheumatic joint disease

    Author : Erik af Klint; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: The synovial membrane (SM) outlines the inner cavity of synovial joints except for cartilage surfaces. The SM is the target organ of immune-mediated responses in chronic arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is a common joint disease (prevalence of 0.5-1. READ MORE

  5. 13. Molecular and clinical studies of cartilage and bone macromolecules in arthritis

    Author : Bengt Månsson; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Skeleton; Prognosis; Tissue damage; Bone markers; Cartilage markers; Rheumatoid arthritis; Psoriatic arthritis; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

    Abstract : The pathogenesis of inflammatory arthritides include synovial inflammation and joint tissue destruction. Tissue destruction has traditionally been regarded a consequence of inflammation, but recent observations indicate that the processes are not always closely linked and may proceed uncoupled.

  6. 14. Electron Microscopy in Diagnostic Pathology with Reference to Mesenchymal Tumors

    Author : Birgitta Carlén; Tumörmikromiljö; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; synovial sarcoma; Kaposi´s sarcoma; epithelioid sarcoma; parachordoma; alveolar soft part sarcoma; small cell malignant tumors of childhood and adolescence; cultured cells; surgical specimens; Transmission electron microscopy; fine needle aspiration; General pathology; pathological anatomy; Patologi allmän ; patologisk anatomi;

    Abstract : The experience acquired over a period of 15 years of diagnostic electron microscopy of fine needle aspirates and surgical specimens constitutes the base for this thesis. Some of the tumors analyzed represent rare soft tissue tumors, and consequently not very often ultrastructurally described. READ MORE

  7. 15. The complexity of prognostication in musculoskeletal sarcomas. An analysis of four illustrative entities

    Author : Peter Bergh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sarcoma; surgery; pathology; extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma; synovial sarcoma; chordoma; chondrosarcoma;

    Abstract : Although malignant musculoskeletal tumors are rare, they encompass numerous entities with a wide morphological, clinical and prognostic spectrum. Sarcoma surgery is particularly demanding. Treatment must take into account the lesionís inherent biologic behavior, anatomic location and individual patient factors. READ MORE
