   Abstract : Aim: To study the relationship between hyperglycaemia and the onset/progression of retinopathy, blindness/moderate visual impairment or death, as well as the impact of improved glycaemic control on retinopathy in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Methods: Between January 1990 and October 1995 a total of 3,220 diabetic patients were enrolled in a programme for control and screening for retinopathy. READ MORE

4. 2. Molecular studies of complications in end stage renal disease : focus on expression and variations of candidate susceptibility genes

   Author : Alicia Bergsten; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a complex multifactorial disorder, where both environmental and genetic factors are contributing to the phenotype. The most common complications seen in ESRD patients are malnutrition, inflammation and atherosclerosis and the coexistence of these complications is denoted the MIA syndrome, which is associated with inexplicably high mortality.

5. 3. In vitro studies of the diabetic condition using cultured fibroblasts with focus on wound healing

   Author : Karin M Hehenberger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : diabetes; fibroblasts; wound healing; proliferation; protein kinaseC; lactate; growth factors; resistance.;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the diabetic condition at the cellular level, and how this may lead to late complications. Defect wound healing in diabetic patients is poorly understood, but impaired granulation is observed clinically. We have therefore decided to study an in vitro system using cultured fibroblasts.

   Abstract : The multidrug regimen, cyclosporine, corticosteroids, and azathioprine, is used in transplantation centres to prevent organ rejection. Several clinical studies have shown that cyclosporine and corticosteroids to cause increases in low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, with subsequent development of atherosclerosis. READ MORE

7. 5. Physical exercise and electrical stimulation in the management of metabolic, cardiovascular and skeletal-muscle alterations in people with tetraplegia

   Author : Nils Hjeltnes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Spinal cord injury; glucose metabolism; electrical stimulation; exercise; skeletal muscle; body composition; catecholamines; blood pressure.;

   Abstract : Interruption of the spinal cord at the cervical level leads to permanent extensive motor paralysis, serious autonomic regulation deficits and profound short term and long term metabolic disorders. The defects play a decisive role for the tetraplegic individuals future function and health. READ MORE
