4. 2. Papillon Le-Fèvre Syndrome : associations to clinical and laboratory factors and results of treatment

   Author : Tord Lundgren; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to elucidate factors possibly contributing to the rapidly progressing periodontitis in a group of Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) patients and to evaluate a combined mechanical and antimicrobial treatment model in these patients. The total patient sample consisted of 20 individuals referred to King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Saudi Arabia for treatment of PLS. READ MORE

5. 3. Magnesium and the Insulin Resistance Syndrome

   Author : Arvo Hänni; L Resnick; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; magnesium; calcium; insuline resistance syndrome; hypertension; lipids; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

   Abstract : Insulin resistance, defined as a state of reduced insulin-mediated glucose uptake in peripheral tissues, and disorders such as obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, have been found to be associated in the conglomerate of the insulin resistance syndrome. Some antihypertensive drugs have been shown to decrease insulin sensitivity further. READ MORE

6. 4. Secondary prevention after acute coronary syndrome : antiplatelet therapy and risk factor control

   Author : Robin Henriksson; Thomas Mooe; Fredrik Björklund; Stefan James; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute coronary syndrome; secondary prevention; myocardial infarction; ischemic stroke; antiplatelet therapy; risk factors; randomized controlled trial; cardiovascular disease; hjärt- och kärlforskning; kardiologi; Cardiology;

   Abstract : Background: One of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide is cardiovascular disease (CVD), including acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Despite improvements in medical treatment, management, and care over the years and the halving of mortality in recent decades, there is considerable room for improvement. READ MORE

7. 5. Autonomic cardiac control in long QT syndrome : clinical studies of arrhythmogenic triggers

   Author : Anna Lundström; Annika Rydberg; Urban Wiklund; Håkan Eliasson; Jacob Tfelt-Hansen; Umeå universitet; []

   Abstract : Background: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by prolonged cardiac repolarization and an increased risk for life-threatening arrhythmias. These arrhythmias are typically triggered by adrenergic stimuli, such as physical activity and intense emotions, implicating that the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is involved in arrhythmogenesis.
