    Abstract : Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in children. The disease can affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and cause orofacial growth disturbances, pain, and jaw dysfunction. TMJ arthritis is often asymptomatic and therefore a challenging joint to diagnose. READ MORE

  4. 7. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia : Studies on cardiovascular disease, biomarkers and subclones

    Author : Karin Larsson; Martin Höglund; Geir Tjønnfjord; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; : Chronic lymphocytic leukemia; cardiovascular disease; population-based; biomarkers; subclones; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The treatment of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is rapidly changing, with targeted therapies, e.g. Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi), entering the frontline and relapse setting. However, BTKis have significant adverse effects, most notably cardiovascular disease (CVD). READ MORE

  5. 8. Inflammatory biomarkers in ANCA-associated vasculitis

    Author : Ásta Dögg Jónasdóttir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) is a heterogenous group of relatively rare and serious small vessel vasculitides, characterized by the presence of proteinase 3 (PR3) ANCA or myeloperoxidase (MPO) ANCA. The disease manifestations vary widely, from a localized form to a serious disease with multi-organ failure. READ MORE

  6. 9. New Biomarkers for Neuromuscular Function and Myasthenia Gravis

    Author : Carl Johan Molin; Anna Rostedt Punga; Johan Widenfalk; Nils Hailer; Jan Verschuuren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomarkers; myasthenia gravis; neuromuscular function; neurophysiology;

    Abstract : Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder, which is caused by autoantibodies against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). The cardinal symptom is muscle fatigue, which can range from slight weakness of the extraocular muscles (causing droopy eyelids or double vision), to paralysis of the respiratory muscles. READ MORE

  7. 10. Invasive treatment of renal artery stenosis - effects on blood pressure, medication, renal function and inflammatory biomarkers

    Author : Alaa Al Hadad; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; inflammatory biomarkers; renal artery stenosis; Renovascular hypertension; percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty; mean pressure gradient;

    Abstract : Renal artery stenosis (RAS) causes hypertension, decreased glomerular filteration rate (GFR), and renal ischemia. RAS is progressive and causes 5-16% of all cases of renal failure. Prevalence of RAS in patients with hypertension is 1-5%. READ MORE
