2. 1. Metabolic responsiveness to growth hormone in children

   Author : Ralph Decker; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Individualized treatment; Growth hormone; Hormonal responsiveness; Metabolic outcome; Prediction model; Body composition; Insulin sensitivity; Leptin; Proteomics SELDI; Apolipoproteins; Thresholds of growth hormone effects; Protein patterns;

   Abstract : Metabolic effects of growth hormone (GH) therapy in short children have not been clearly established owing to the previous lack of controlled trials studying the metabolic outcome in response to different GH doses despite the known effects of GH on insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, and body composition. It has previously been shown that individualized GH doses during catch-up growth significantly reduce the proportion of unexpectedly good and poor responders around a predefined individual growth target in short prepubertal children.

4. 2. Adipose markers of metabolic outcome after weight loss

   Author : Daniel Eriksson Hogling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Adipose tissue is closely linked to metabolic disturbances in obesity. Bariatric surgery such as roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) remains the most effective treatment of obesity and obesity-related disease. READ MORE

5. 3. Type 1 diabetes in children with non-Swedish background : epidemiology and clinical outcome

   Author : Ulf Söderström; Jan Åman; Ulf Samuelsson; Anders Hjern; Jannet Svensson; Örebro universitet; []

   Abstract : Sweden holds third place of diabetes incidence in young people after Finland and Sardinia. One fifth of the population is nowadays of foreign descent. We have a substantial number of immigrants from countries where the risk for T1D is considerably lower. READ MORE

6. 4. Glutamate for metabolic intervention in coronary surgery : with special reference to the GLUTAMICS-trial

   Author : Mårten Vidlund; Rolf Svedjeholm; Torbjörn Ivert; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myocardial ischemia; coronary artery bypass; cardiac surgery; acute coronary syndrome; glutamate; metabolic intervention; postoperative heart failure; myocardial recovery; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : Myocardial ischemia is a major cause of postoperative heart failure and adverse outcome in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Conventional treatment of postoperative heart failure with inotropic drugs may aggravate underlying ischemic injury. READ MORE

7. 5. Aspects on Mechanisms, Treatment and Outcome in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

   Author : Teodor Svedung Wettervik; Anders Lewén; Per Enblad; Elham Rostami; Lars-Owe Koskinen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Autoregulation; clinical outcome; energy metabolism; multimodality monitoring; neurointensive-care; traumatic brain injury; Neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

   Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause for mortality and morbidity worldwide. The primary injury has great impact on patient outcome and cannot be cured, but attentive neurointensive care (NIC) may reduce detrimental secondary brain injuries and is the focus of this thesis.
