2. 1. Aortic aneurysms and dissections. A clinical follow-up after surgery

   Author : Vincenzo Lepore; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aortic aneurysm; aortic dissection; composite-graft; aortic arch replacement; aortic endoluminal stent-graft; Marfan syndrome; MRI.;

   Abstract : ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to report on the results after aortic surgery on thoracic aneurysms and dissections and to study the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the follow-up after aortic surgery. In this thesis, 203 patients ungergoing surgery on the thoracic aorta between 1977 and 2000 are included. READ MORE

4. 2. Chlamydophila pneumoniae in Cardiovascular Diseases : Clinical and Experimental Studies

   Author : Marie Edvinsson; Göran Friman; Eva Hjelm; Nils-Gunnar Ilbäck; Christina Nyström-Rosander; Stefan Thelin; Björn Berdal; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Communicable diseases; Chlamydophila pneumoniae; Chlamydia pneumoniae; trace elements; atherosclerosis; aortic valve stenosis; thoracic aortic aneurysm; aortic dissection; hepcidin; iron; Infektionssjukdomar;

   Abstract : Chlamydophila pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) has been suggested as a stimulator of chronic inflammation in atherosclerosis. C. pneumoniae DNA was demonstrated in aortic biopsies in 50% of patients with stable angina pectoris or acute coronary syndrome undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. READ MORE

5. 3. Platelet Inhibition and Bleeding Complications in Cardiac Surgery Patients - Clinical and experimental studies

   Author : Emma C. Hansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute coronary syndrome; Bleeding complications; Cardiac surgery; Platelet aggregation inhibitors; Platelet transfusion;

   Abstract : BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with acetylsalicylic acid and a P2Y12 inhibitor (clopidogrel, ticagrelor, or prasugrel) reduces thrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but it is also associated with an increased risk of bleeding complications. The aim of this project was to investigate the prevalence and effects of platelet inhibition in the context of cardiac surgery, the bleeding problems that may occur, and treatment of bleeding complications.

6. 4. Cost-effectiveness and Value of Further Research of Treatment Strategies for Cardiovascular Disease

   Author : Martin Henriksson; Per Carlsson; Fredrik Lundgren; Mark Scupher; Hans Severens; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Economic evaluation; decision-analytic modelling; prioritising research; carotid endarterectomy; abdominal aortic aneurysm; screening; non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome; early intervention; Health and medical services in society; Hälso- och sjukvård i samhället;

   Abstract : Economic evaluations provide a tool to estimate costs and health consequences of competing medical technologies, ultimately to aid decision makers when deciding which medical technologies should be funded from available resources. Such decisions inevitably need to be taken under uncertainty and it is not clear how to approach them in health care decision-making. READ MORE

7. 5. Short and long term effects of bacterial gastrointestinal infection

   Author : Anders Ternhag; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Gastroenteritis; acute infectious diarrhea; Salmonella; Campylobacter; mortality; complications; morbidity; late effects; epidemiology; hospitalization; cohort study;

   Abstract : The objectives of this thesis were to increase our understanding of the mortality and complications associated with bacterial gastrointestinal infections, with focus on Salmonella and Campylobacter enteritis. The effect of antibiotics vs. placebo on duration of diarrhea in Campylobacter enteritis was also examined. READ MORE
