    Author : Annica Nordin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune rheumatic disease, characterized by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, vasculopathy and the production of autoantibodies. Cardiac and pulmonary disease manifestations are major causes of morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

  4. 12. Regulation of Microvascular Blood Flow : a clinical and experimental study based on laser Doppler perfusion imaging

    Author : Helena Golster; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Local blood flow reflexes in the foot skin of healthy controls and in young diabetic patients with or without nerve dysfunction have been studied using laser Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI). A neurophysiological follow-up study on nerve dysfunction is presented as a complerhent to the work on blood flow regulation in the young diabetics. READ MORE

  5. 13. Cardiovascular role of PDGF-B in development and disease. Studies in genetically engineered mice

    Author : Henrik Nyström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : atherosclerosis; cardiovascular disease; cell retention; in vivo physiology; neointimal hyperplasia; PDGF; transgenic mice; vascular function; vascular smooth muscle cell;

    Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGF-B) is vital for microvascular development, and retention of PDGF-B to extracellular matrix (ECM) is important in this process. However, the role and source of PDGF-B in development of macrovascular function is disputed. READ MORE

  6. 14. Genetic studies of complex autoimmune disease

    Author : Alexandra Gyllenberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In complex autoimmune diseases, there are both genetic and environmental factors that influence our immune system and contribute to the development of disease.
