  2. 1. Murine insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus : a model for disease development and protection

    Author : Björn Pilström; Dan Holmberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is an autoimmune disease caused by destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic Langerhans' islets. This destruction is preceded by an infiltration of mononuclear leukocytes called insulitis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aspects on wall properties of the brachial artery in man : with special reference to SLE and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

    Author : Niclas Bjarnegård; Toste Länne; Reinhard Volkmann; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arterial wall; atherosclerotic; brachial artery BA ; type 1 diabetes; ulse wave velocity PWV ; pulse wave analysis PWA ; intima-media thickness IMT ; nitrate mediated dilatation NMD ; Diabetology; Diabetologi;

    Abstract : The mechanical properties of the arterial wall are of great importance for blood pressure regulation and cardiac load. With increasing age, large arteries are affected by increased wall stiffness. READ MORE

  5. 3. Psychological factors and metabolic control in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

    Author : Ulf Stenström; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; social support; gender; age; long-term complications; metabolic control; quality of life; well-being; insulin-pen treatment; coping; life events; locus of control beliefs; longitudinal; Applied and experimental psychology; Tillämpad och experimentell psykologi;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis consists of six studies concerning persons with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The first two deal with relationships between life events, social support and metabolic control (HbA1C) over a two year period. For the female subjects, results obtained for this period were inconsistent. READ MORE

  6. 4. Psychological and Medical Well-being and their Relation in Adults with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus

    Author : Björn Karlson; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; cognitive functioning; adaptation; personality; anxiety; mood; depression; quality of life; insulin-pen; Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; metabolic control late diabetic complications; neuropsychology; KSP; SCL-90; Applied and experimental psychology; Tillämpad och experimentell psykologi;

    Abstract : This thesis includes five studies involving different samples of adult patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Studies one and two concern effects on metabolic control and quality of life of changing from conventional insulin treatment with three syringe injections per day to an intensified insulin treatment with three syringe injections daily using an insulin pen.

  7. 5. Arterial wall stiffness in man. On gender differences and abnormalities in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency

    Author : Åsa Rydén Ahlgren; Malmö Klinisk fysiologi och nuklearmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sex characteristics.; abdominal aortic aneurysm; arterial stiffness; alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency; ultrasonography; Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus; Clinical physics; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

    Abstract : The mechanical properties of major arteries may reflect early manifestations of vascular disease and are also of interest because they are important for cardiac work. Using echo-tracking sonography and blood pressure measurements, arterial stiffness and diameters were investigated in healthy individuals as well as in patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency (alpha1-AT deficiency).
