2. 1. Stage T1 Urinary Bladder Carcinoma : Investigation of A Population-Based Cohort

   Author : Hans Olsson; Staffan Jahnson; Per Hultman; Peter Söderkvist; Sten Nilsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Approximately 2 300 new cases of urinary bladder carcinoma (UBC) are diagnosed every year in Sweden. This type of cancer is characterized as a long-standing disease with a high risk of recurrence and progression from an indolent to a more aggressive course. READ MORE

4. 2. Antigens associated with human urinary bladder carcinoma : identification and functional studies

   Author : Hannu Koho; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The primary aim of this study was to identify antigens associated with themalignant state of human urinary bladder carcinoma cells. Characterization ofsuch tumor-associated antigens should provide clues to the molecularmechanisms of tumorigenesis, as well as leading to possible clinical applications,such as immunodiagnosis and immunotherapy.

5. 3. CT Urography : Efforts to Reduce the Radiation Dose

   Author : Pär Dahlman; Anders Magnusson; Anders Sundin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urinary tract malignancy; renal cell carcinoma; urography; x-ray computed tomography; radiation dosage; dose escalation; hematuria diagnosis; Diagnostic radiology; Diagnostisk radiologi; Radiologi; Radiology;

   Abstract : Computed tomography urography (CTU) is today the imaging method used to investigate patients with suspected urinary tract malignancy, replacing the old imaging method intravenous pyelography (IVP) about a decade ago. The downside of this shift was that the effective radiation dose to the examined patient was eight times higher for CTU compared to IVP. READ MORE

6. 4. Bladder exstrophy : Clinical and experimental aspects

   Author : Christina Clementson Kockum; Lund Pediatrik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatri; Bladder exstrophy. Children. Urinary diversion. Menthal health.; Pediatrics; Urology; nephrology; Urologi; nefrologi;

   Abstract : Bladder exstrophy is a complex malformation seen in 1/30 000. Most children are subject to repeated operations, including pelvic osteotomy, genital and bladder neck reconstruction and sometimes bladder augmentation or a urinary reservoir, to achieve continence and a normal genital function.

7. 5. Percutaneous Nephrostomies : Planning for an Optimal Access, Complications, Follow-up and Outcome

   Author : Eva Radecka; Anders Magnusson; Marianne Brehmer; Torbjörn Andersson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiology; Percutaneous nephrostomy; Percutaneious nephrolithotripsy; Complications; Puncture technique; CT guidance; Radiologisk forskning; Radiological research; Radiologisk forskning;

   Abstract : Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) is a well-established intervention performed to divert urine from the collecting system in ureteric obstruction or as a prelude to interventional procedures such as stent placement or percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL). The aim of this thesis is to enhance planning for an optimal insertion of PCN, investigate complications, long-term management, follow-up and outcome in patients with PCN treatment and to increase accuracy in CT-guided punctures.
