1. Permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier in relation to the size, shape, charge and deformability of the permeating molecules
Abstract : Characterization of the glomerular filtration barrier is of fundamental importance for understanding the pathophysiology of proteinuric kidney diseases. Furthermore, it can be of key value in the understanding of microalbuminuria, which is often associated with endothelial dysfunction in conjunction with cardiovascular disease. READ MORE

4. Cardiovascular fluid dynamics : methods for flow and pressure field analysis from magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract : Cardiovascular blood flow is highly complex and incompletely understood. Blood flow patterns are expected to influence the opening and closing of normal and prosthetic heart valves, the efficiency of cardiac filling and ejection, and the resistance to thrombus formation within the heart.

5. Body weight, body size and early cardiovascular disease. Epidemiological studies using Swedish registries
Abstract : Background: Obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, as well as for atrial fibrillation and heart failure. While overweight and obesity have become increasingly more common in Sweden and worldwide during the past decades, there have also been an increase of some cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among men and women younger than 45 years old in Sweden.
