  2. 1. Health economic evaluation of community-based cardiovascular disease prevention : some theoretical aspects and empirical results

    Author : Lars Lindholm; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CVD; community-based; cost-effectiveness; equity;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the health economic evaluation of community-based interventions against cardiovascular disease (CVD), with special emphasis on the Västerbotten Intervention Project (VIP), run since 1985.The framework is a simple evaluation model consisting of two parts; the selection and measurement of empirical consequences caused by the project under evaluation (e.

  4. 2. Severe hypoxemia during apnea in humans : influence of cardiovascular responses

    Author : Peter Lindholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Diving response; breath holding; bradycardia; vasoconstriction; hypoxia;

    Abstract : When a diving human holds his or her breath, the heart beat slows and the blood vessels constrict in large portions of the body. In diving mammals such as seals, similar responses effectively conserve oxygen for the brain, enabling them to dive very deep and to stay underwater for a long time. READ MORE

  5. 3. Regional oxygenation in cardiac surgery. Influence of temperature, pump flow and insulin

    Author : Lena Lindholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiopulmonary bypass; cardiac surgery; regional oxygenation; venous oxygenation; splanchnic oxygenation; insulin; vasodilation; temperature; pump flow;

    Abstract : Surgical trauma triggers neural, endocrine and inflammatory reactions with subsequent alterations in systemic and regional blood flow, blood pressure and metabolism. These changes are detectable after all major surgical procedures but are often more pronounced after cardiac surgery, probably because of blood exposure to artificial surfaces of the heart lung machine, temperature modulation (e.

  6. 4. Heathlands – A Lost World?

    Author : Mattias Lindholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Heathland; Calluna vulgaris; Conservation biology; Management; Coleoptera; Carabidae; Lycosidae; Conservation strategy;

    Abstract : Heathland is a familiar landscape type in southwest Sweden. It is open with few trees, and the vegetation is dominated by dwarf-shrubs growing on nutrient-poor soils. Dry heaths with Heather Calluna vulgaris and wet heaths with Bell Heather Erica tetralix are common vegetation communities in the heathland, and they often form mosaics. READ MORE

  7. 5. The search for human skeletal muscle memory : exercise effects on the transcriptome and epigenome

    Author : Maléne Lindholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Regular physical activity is an environmental stimulus that is highly associated to many health benefits, while physical inactivity is detrimental for health and physical function. Regular exercise training is used in the prevention and treatment of a large number of disease conditions, including obesity, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, and reduces the risk for premature death.
