2. 6. Hyperthyroidism and its impact on cardiovascular disease : with special emphasis on atrial fibrillation

   Author : Peter Giesecke; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Hyperthyroidism is a common disease throughout the world, affecting 0.5%-2% of women and one-tenth as many men at some time. Graves’ disease and toxic nodular goitre are the two most common etiologies. Cardiovascular symptoms are often prominent, and atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well-known complication. READ MORE

4. 7. Application of genetic analyses in studies of syndromic and non-syndromic cleft lip and palate

   Author : Fung Ki Wong; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Linkage analysis; cleft lip; cleft palate; van der Woude syndrome; popliteal pterygium syndrome; hyperthyroidism; candidate gene;

   Abstract : Linkage analysis is one of the first and essential steps in the localization of human disease genes. In this study, the method was first applied in mapping of the disease in two families with isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP) to the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome locus at 1q21-q32.

5. 8. Effects of ageing on contractility and myosin composition of rat and man skeletal muscles and muscle cells : with special reference to muscle adaptability

   Author : Xiaopeng Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ageing; hyperthyroidism; skeletal muscle; single skinned fibre; isometric twitch; slack test; shortening velociy; electrophoresis; myosin isoform; immunocytochemistry;

   Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to characterize the effects of ageing on the contractile and biochemical properties of fast- and slow-twitch skeletal muscles at the whole muscle and single fibre level in an attempt to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the age-related impairments of muscle fibres. Specific interest was in the adaptability of skeletal muscle and the regulation of speed of shortening at single-cell level in the rat and man. READ MORE

6. 9. Oxygen Metabolism in Experimental Kidney Disease

   Author : Ebba Sivertsson; Fredrik Palm; Peter Hansell; Jenny Nyström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kidney; kidney oxygenation; mitochondria; proteinuria; uncoupling protein; adenosine nucleotide transporter; diabetes; hyperthyroidism; thyroid hormone; hypertension; angiotensin II; CDK; AST-120; rats; mice; Fysiologi; Physiology;

   Abstract : Tubulointerstitial hypoxia has been proposed a unifying mechanism behind the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), regardless of primary diagnosis. Important factors that contribute to the development of hypoxia are reduced bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO), oxidative stress and mitochondria uncoupling. READ MORE

7. 10. Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy : treatment for hyperhyroidism and evaluation of methods for measuring saccadic eye movements

   Author : Frank Träisk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Graves disease; thyroid associated ophthalmopathy; saccade; main sequence; magnetic scleral search coil; infrared reflection; radioiodine; anti-thyroid drugs; smoking;

   Abstract : Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is the orbital manifestation of autoimmune thyroid disease that clinically affects about 30-50 % of patients with Graves disease (GD). The clinical features of TAO are in most patients mild and transient. READ MORE
