  2. 6. Mechanism behind the development of radiation-induced cardiovascular effects

    Author : Venkata Ramesh Yentrapalli; Siamak Haghdoost; Andrzej Wojcik; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Epidemiological studies on acutely and chronically exposed individuals indicate that ionising radiation could be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Experimental data regarding radiation-induced cardiovascular late effects are limited and biological mechanisms behind these late effects are still unclear. READ MORE

  4. 7. Novel radiation targets in the endothelium and heart muscle

    Author : Venkata Ramesh Yentrapalli; Siamak Haghdoost; William F. Morgan; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ionizing radiation; Endothelial cells; Senescence; Cardiovascular disease; Proteomics; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Worldwide, people are being exposed to natural and man-made sources of radiation. Epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of vascular diseases in populations that have been exposed to ionizing radiation. Vascular endothelium is implicated as one of the targets for radiation leading to the development of cardiovascular diseases. READ MORE

  5. 8. Lifelong health and well-being in men born with hypospadias

    Author : Lottie Phillips; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hypospadias is a congenital malformation defined by an ectopic placement of the urethral orifice along the ventral side of the penis, with a large variation in phenotype from distal to proximal. There are both genetic and environmental risk factors, often related to an impact on androgen function which is central in the development of male genitalia. READ MORE

  6. 9. The role and regulation of nitric oxide and oxidative stress in cardiometabolic disease : focus on preeclampsia

    Author : Sarah McCann Haworth; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular (CVD) and metabolic diseases account for significant morbidity and mortality. Over the last decades, despite significant research and clinical effort, their global prevalence is estimated to further increase. READ MORE

  7. 10. Counselling Patients with Hypertension at Health Centres - a Nursing Perspective

    Author : Eva Drevenhorn; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : nursing; hypertension; counseling; lifestyle; health behavior; patient-centered care; stages of change model; motivational interviewing; self-care; patient compliance;

    Abstract : Counselling in hypertension care relating to lifestyle changes, i.e. non-pharmaco-logical treatment regarding smoking, alcohol, weight, diet, physical activity and stress, aims to reduce complications such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Many patients have several risk factors to deal with. READ MORE
