  2. 1. Perlecan in vascular disease

    Author : Tran Phan Kiet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Perlecan; heparan sulfate; smooth muscle cells; intimal hyperplasia; vascular disease; atherosclerosis; restenosis; heparin-binding growth factor.;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis has become the most common cause of death in the world. The development of the disease involves accumulation of lipids in the inner layer of the vessel wall, the intima, and recruitment of inflammatory cells and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). READ MORE

  4. 2. Chronic limb-threatening ischaemia - Prognosis after intervention

    Author : Erik Baubeta Fridh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Amputation; arterial occlusive disease; atherosclerosis; magnetic resonance angiography; mortality; peripheral arterial disease; comorbidity;

    Abstract : Introduction: Lower-extremity arterial disease (LEAD) is a major health problem worldwide. Chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) is the most severe manifestation of LEAD. Open or endovascular recanalization is recommended for most patients with CLTI. READ MORE

  5. 3. Aspects on arterial dimensions with special reference to aneurysmal disease

    Author : Thomas Sandgren; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orthopaedics; Surgery; Arteria poplitea; Arteria femoralis; Aneurysm; Arterial dimensions; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : The incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is increasing. The risk of rupture is related to diameter. However, rupture may occur also in small AAA. To evaluate the size of an aneurysm when related to the predicted normal aortic diameter might be a better predictor of risk. READ MORE

  6. 4. Stem cell transplantation : home care, graft-versus-host disease and costs

    Author : Britt-Marie Svahn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Stem-cell transplantation; home-care; GVHD; costs;

    Abstract : Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) is used to treat malignant and non-malignant diseases of the immunohematopoietic system. Results in terms of survival rate and less complications are continually improving due to better knowledge, supportive care, immunosuppression, new drugs against infections and HLA-typing techniques.

  7. 5. The impact of duplex scanning in the management of chronic lower limb arterial disease

    Author : Annika Boström Ardin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Duplex; Ultrasound; lower extremity; arterial; chronic ishemia; selection; surgery; PTA; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : In patients with chronic lower extremity ischemia in which endovascular or surgical intervention is considered non-invasive evaluation by duplex scanning provides important anatomical and hemodynamic information. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the impact of duplex scanning in the selection of various therapeutic alternatives in limbs with lower extremity arterial insufficiency. READ MORE
