  2. 1. Hypertension in Vietnam : from community-based studies to a national targeted programme

    Author : Pham Thai Son; Peter Byass; Alexandra Krettek; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hypertension; risk factor; community; programme; Vietnam; folkhälsa; Public health;

    Abstract : Background: In the context of transitional Vietnam, hypertension has been shown to be one of the ten leading causes of morbidity and mortality in hospitals. However, population-based data on hypertension are to a large extent lacking. READ MORE

  4. 2. On leg ischaemia : aspects of epidemiology and diagnostics

    Author : Björn Jönsson; Eric Wahlberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The first part of this thesis consists of a population-based epidemiological study on symptomatic leg arterial disease in a Swedish community, based on a postal questionnaire and systolic ankle pressure measurements, with calculation of the ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI; usually ≥ 1.0 in healthy subjects).

  5. 3. Functional Aspects of the Juxtaglomerular Apparatus : Control of Glomerular Filtration and Renin Release

    Author : Johan Sällström; Erik Persson; Peter Hansell; Jürgen Schnermann; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) is a control unit of the kidney, that regulates glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renin release, and hence extracellular volume and blood pressure. The tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) mechanism is a negative feedback loop that regulates GFR. READ MORE

  6. 4. Local Purinergic Control of Arteriolar Reactivity in Pancreatic Islets and Renal Glomeruli

    Author : Xiang Gao; Leif Jansson; Olle Hellberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : afferent arteriole; islet arteriole; adenosine; A1 receptor; ATP; P2Y receptor; microperfusion; angiotensin II; type 2 diabetes; hypertension; oxidative stress; nitric oxide; tubuloglomerular feedback;

    Abstract : Local control of regional blood flow is exerted mainly through the arterioles. An adequate minute-to-minute regulation of blood perfusion of the kidney and the pancreas is obtained by the modulation of arteriolar reactivity, which will influence the organ function. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pharmacological stimulation of endothelial function and long-term impact of hypertension in man

    Author : Ott Saluveer; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; t-PA; hypertension; fibrinolysis; endothelial function; valproic acid; histone deacetylase inhibitor; atorvastatin;

    Abstract : Background: Ischemic heart disease is a major cause of death globally. Rupture of a coronary atherosclerotic plaque with occluding thrombus formation is the main cause of myocardial ischemia and infarction. READ MORE
