2. 21. Development of intimal hyperplasia in transplant arteriosclerosis

   Author : Piotr Religa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Vascular disease is the main cause of disability and mortality in the western world and the major limiting factor for long- term survival of transplanted organs. Occlusive vascular lesions lead to ischemia and structural changes in organs and in transplant arteriosclerosis and restenosis after endovascular procedures, narrowing of the vessel lumen is partly due to intimal hyperplasia caused by smooth muscle cells (SMCs).

7. 25. Assessment and prognostic importance of nutritional status and body composition in liver transplantation

   Author : Catarina Lindqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Chronic liver disease and liver cirrhosis are progressive diseases closely linked to metabolism and nutritional status. Weight loss is a result of negative energy balance and is therefore a good measure of risk of malnutrition. READ MORE
