  4. 17. The regulation of muscle interstitial insulin, nutrients and blood flow in insulin resistant models. An investigation using the euglycemic insulin clamp and microdialysis techniques

    Author : Maria Niklasson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; insulin resistance; skeletal muscle; glucose uptake; transcapillary transport; interstitial fluid; euglycemic insulinclamp; microdialysis; blood flow; vasodilation;

    Abstract : Insulin resistance, mainly located to the skeletal muscle tissue, is one prominent feature in thedevelopment of non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and further, associated withcardiovascular diseases. In this context the importance of blood flow for insulin sensitivity has beensuggested by regulating the delivery of insulin and nutrients to the target cells. READ MORE

  5. 18. Risk factors for atrial fibrillation in population-based studies : Epidemiological perspectives

    Author : Linda Johnson; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
    Keywords : Atrial fibrillation; Fasting plasma insulin; forced expiratory volume; glucose; hypertension; lung volumes; population; premature atrial contractions; risk factors; spirometry; supraventricular extrasystoles; supraventricular tachycardias systolic blood pressure; weight;

    Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common among the elderly, and has serious consequences such as stroke and increased mortality. Not all of the population attributable risk for AF is explained by known risk factors. READ MORE

  6. 19. Clinical and etiological studies on dementia of Alzheimer type and multiinfarct dementia

    Author : Gösta Bucht; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dementia of Alzheimer type; multiinfarct dementia; clinical studies; diagnosis; blood cerebrospinal fluid barrier function; cytogenetic changes; blood glucose; insulin secretion;

    Abstract : 1. Clinical studies. Clinical diagnosis of dementia has been made largely on the basis of clinical findings supported by appropriate radiological and laboratory investigations. A minority of patients have treatable or reversible underlying causes for their dementing syndrome. READ MORE

  7. 20. Integrated microsystems for continuous glucose monitoring, interstitial fluid sampling and digital microfluidics

    Author : Federico Ribet; Niclas Roxhed; Göran Stemme; Boris Stoeber; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microelectromechanical systems MEMS ; biosensors; biomedical devices; continuous glucose monitoring CGM ; glucose sensors; microneedles; interstitial fluid sampling; minimally-invasive technologies; electrochemical sensors; heterogeneous integration; wire bonding; magnetic assembly; electrowetting-on-dielectric EWOD ; digital microfluidics; ionic liquids; gas sensors; optical switches; laser shutters.; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Interdisciplinary research between medicine and microsystem engineering creates new possibilities to improve the quality of life of patients or to further enhance the performance of already existing devices. In particular, microsystems show great potential for the realization of biosensors and sampling devices to monitor bioanalytes with minimal patient discomfort. READ MORE
