  2. 21. Heart failure : role of metabolic biomarkers, ejection fraction, and sex

    Author : Ulrika Ljung Faxén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Heart failure (HF) is common and associated with impaired quality of life (QoL) and poor prognosis. There is a ternary classification of HF based on ejection fraction (EF): HF with preserved(HFpEF), mid-range EF(HFmrEF), and reduced EF(HFrEF). READ MORE

  4. 22. Addison's disease : epidemiological and clinical studies

    Author : Sigridur Björnsdottir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Addison’s disease (AD) is a potentially life-threatening condition that often presents with vague and nonspecific symptoms. Patients with AD have increased mortality risk. Data on parity and pregnancy outcome in women with AD are limited. Furthermore, there are no data on fracture risk or drug prescription patterns in patients with AD. READ MORE

  5. 23. Action and interaction of growth factors and regulatory molecules in vascular cells : With special reference to the IGF-I-system

    Author : Gunilla Dahlfors; Anna Hultgårdh-Nilsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Vascular function is greatly influenced by growth factors and regulatory molecules that can interact with each other in a complex pattern in the vascular wall. In this thesis we studied how different substances of special interest in the pathogenesis of vascular disease interact and regulate each other's expressions in endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

  6. 24. Effects of Dehydration and Blockade of the Renin-Angiotensin System in the One-humped Camel (Camelus dromedarius)

    Author : Mahmoud Al Haj; Fred Nyberg; Santi Spampinato; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Blood; biochemical analysis; catecholamine; colorimetric assay; cortisol; dehydration; dromedary camel; glutathione; hematological analysis; HPLC; insulin- like growth factor-1; losartan; plasma; receptors; radioimmunoassay; serum; Pharmaceutical Science; Farmaceutisk vetenskap;

    Abstract : The one-humped or the dromedarian camel is a pseudo-ruminant mammal, well adapted to the hot and dry climates of the desert. Its ability to withstand torrid heat and extreme desiccation is of paramount importance to its survival. READ MORE

  7. 25. New neurons and astrocytes in the adult brain. Studies on adult rat neural progenitors in vivo and in vitro with special reference to the effects of IGF-I and CNTF regarding proliferation and lineage determination

    Author : Maria A I Åberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Brain; hippocampus; rat; neurogenesis; progenitor cell; stem cell; ciliary neurotrophic factor; insulin-like growth factor-I; PI3-K; MAPK.;

    Abstract : The hippocampal dentate gyrus in several species, including man, continues to produce new neurons and glial cells in adulthood. The generation of new neurons and glial cells in the adult hippocampus is under strict regulation. Two major events of significance for cell genesis from progenitor cells are proliferation and lineage determination. READ MORE
