  3. 22. Cutaneous Melanoma in the Grey Horse

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Julia Bengtström; [2011]
    Keywords : equine cutaneous melanoma; grey horse; neoplasm; tumor; ekvina kutana melanom; häst ; skimmel; neoplasi; tumör;

    Abstract : Equine cutaneous melanomas arise much more often in horses with a grey coat color than in horses of other colors. Some scientists have in different studies come to the conclusion that the melanomas are neoplasms which can be classified by examining their histological and macroscopic features. READ MORE

  4. 23. Blood Flow Modeling of H215O PET Studies in Liver Metastases

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : My Jonasson; [2010]
    Keywords : PET; one compartment model; blood flow modeling; O-15 water;

    Abstract : Positron Emission Tomography, PET, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique to get functional information of the kinetics of radioactive compound injected in the body. The data used in this thesis comes from a total of five H215O PET studies of one patient. READ MORE

  5. 24. Adjuvant and Down-Staging Treatment with Imatinib in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours

    University essay from Hälsouniversitetets läkarutbildning

    Author : Anna Andersson; [2008]
    Keywords : GIST; imatinib; adjuvant; down-staging; neoadjuvant; mutation; KIT; PDGFRA;

    Abstract : Background: GISTs are gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumours that express the type III receptor tyrosine kinase KIT. The KIT proto-oncogene encodes the receptor KIT. Most GISTs have gain-of-function mutations in the KIT or PDGFRA gene. The tyrosine kinase is therefore continuously activated leading to ligand-independent dimerization. READ MORE

  6. 25. The use of genetic polymorphisms for identification of fused cells

    University essay from Institutionen för klinisk och experimentell medicin

    Author : Therese Klippmark; [2008]
    Keywords : Cell fusion; cancer metastasis; breast cancer; colon cancer; DNA analysis;

    Abstract : Metastasis is a feared aspect of cancer and little is known about the underlying mechanisms. It is proposed that metastasis is caused by cell fusion between tumour and immune active phagocyte cells, for example macrophages. Such hybrid cells could then develop immortality and chemo tactic mobility. READ MORE
