2. 1. Crohn's disease with special reference to intestinal malabsorption : a clinical study based on patients from northern Sweden

   Author : Henry Nyhlin; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Crohn s disease; intestinal absorption tests; muscle electrolytes; intestinal mucosa; terminal ileal function; SeHCAT;

   Abstract : Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease which may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract with a preference for the terminal ileum and ileocaecal region. The disease was first described in 1932 and has increased during the last decades. READ MORE

4. 2. Molecular and clinical studies of intestinal malrotation

   Author : Karin Salehi Karlslätt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Intestinal malrotation (IM) can present as a potentially life-threatening condition with midgut volvulus and need of immediate surgery, but also as a chronic condition with long-lasting symptoms. It is a well-known neonatal condition but it is not as well “explored” up to adulthood. READ MORE

5. 3. Molecular studies on Hirschsprung disease and 'Ondine's curse'

   Author : Pär-Johan Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Hirschsprung disease; Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome; neurocristopathy; mutation analysis; RET; CDNF; EDNRB; EDN-3; EDN-I;

   Abstract : This thesis is based on molecular studies of two diseases that arise from dysfunction of, defective migration or inappropriate apoptosis of neural crest derived cells: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) and "Ondine's curse" (congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, CCHS). The neural crest (NC) is a condensation of pluripotent cells of ectodermal origin. READ MORE

6. 4. Experimental studies on the role of the gastrointestinal microflora in postsurgical adhesion formation

   Author : Claes Bothin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Adhesions; adhesion formation; germfree; microflora;

   Abstract : Introduction: Adhesions occurring after any kind of surgery is a common phenomenon and cause a great deal of morbidity and mortality, incurring a considerable burden on health care systems. Adhesions are especially prominent after lower abdominal and gynecological procedures (60-90 % of patients after one operation) causing infertility, pain syndromes and bowel obstruction as well as complicating subsequent surgery.

7. 5. Minimally invasive hernia surgery

   Author : Sven Bringman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Inguinal hernia; minimally invasive; laparoscopic; TEP; TAPP; Lichtenstein; Meshplug; tension-free; mesh; balloon; rehabilitation; Swedish Hernia Register; learning curve; complications; intestinal obstruction; polypropylene; polyglactin.;

   Abstract : Minimally invasive laparoscopic and open tension-free techniques have been evolved during the 1990's. Different laparoscopic techniques have been used, where the totally extraperitoneal hernioplasty (TEP) is a technically demanding but probably a better approach to minimally invasive hernia surgery than the transabdominal preperitoneal technique (TAPP), which may increase the risk of adhesions and postoperative intestinal obstruction.
