  2. 1. Adrenomedullin in sepsis

    Author : Oscar Lundberg; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sepsis; biomarker; adrenomedullin; endothelin-1; high-sensitivity troponin t; intensive care unit; emergency department; septic shock;

    Abstract : AbstractBackgroundSepsis is a syndrome difficult to diagnose and stratify. The epidemiology of sepsis and consistency of criteria fulfillment with diagnosis coding in Swedish intensive care units (ICU) are largely unknown. Biomarkers can be of help to understand pathophysiology, identify clusters within sepsis and to individualize treatment. READ MORE

  5. 3. The secretome of brown adipose tissue

    Author : Ida R. Hansen; Jan Nedergaard; Francesco Villarroya; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : Brown adipose tissue has long been known for its heat-producing capacity, but less is known about its possible effects as a secretory organ. This thesis summarizes information about presently known factors secreted from brown adipose tissue and about their actions. We were able to add factors to the list by the use of a signal-sequence trap method. READ MORE

  6. 4. Vascular development : from embryonic stem cells to arteries and veins

    Author : Fredrik Lanner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A fundamental question in developmental biology is how a single fertilized egg cell and its progeny are programmed or instructed to form thousands of different cell types and how these are organized into a complex and functional organism. In this thesis I have explored how a specific subset of cells is formed - the vascular endothelial cells lining our blood vessels. READ MORE

  7. 5. Emerging biomarkers in cardiometabolic disease

    Author : John Molvin; Kardiovaskulär forskning - hypertoni; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diabetes mellitus; type 2; Biomarker discovery; Cardiometabolic disease; cardiometabolic biomarkers; CVD; galectin 4; Olink;

    Abstract : AbstractThe epidemiological association between diabetes and heart failure is well-established and the two entities areemerging as global threats, both individually and synergistically, to an aging population. The exploration of multipleproteins can shed light on pathophysiological pathways in both diabetes and cardiovascular disease. READ MORE
