  2. 6. Towards a Health Economic Simulation Model of Type 2 Diabetes in Sweden

    Author : Aliasghar Ahmad Kiadaliri; Hälsoekonomi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to provide part of the data required in updating/developing computer simulation models (CSMs) for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using data obtained from routine clinical practice in Sweden. In paper I, evolution of five biomarkers (i.e. READ MORE

  4. 7. Insulin-like growth factor-I deficiency, insulin sensitivity, and glucose metabolism

    Author : Klas Ekström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In children and adolescents, growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) act in concert to stimulate linear growth; however, the effects on glucose metabolism are in opposition. GH increases insulin resistance by lipolysis. READ MORE

  5. 8. Insulin Polymorphism Crystallographic Characterization of Insulin Microcrystals

    Author : Mathias Norrman; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Strukturkemi; Structure chemistry; biomatematik; protein crystallography; X-ray powder diffraction; Bioinformatics; medical informatics; microcrystals; Bioinformatik; Molekylär biofysik; Molecular biophysics; biomathematics biometrics; medicinsk informatik; insulin;

    Abstract : Insulin is a protein needed for the uptake of glucose from the circulating blood. In absence of sufficiently high insulin levels in the body or when the cells have a reduced sensitivity for insulin a disease state referred to as diabetes occurs. Treatment of diabetes generally requires daily injections of exogenous insulin. READ MORE

  6. 9. Glycaemic control: evaluation of HbA1c as a risk factor and the effect of modern insulins in clinical practice

    Author : Marcus Lind; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HbA1c; glargine; lispro; time; retinopathy; clinical practice; electronical tracking; record system;

    Abstract : One of the ultimate goals of diabetes care is to minimise diabetic complications. When evaluating insulins it is important to understand what extent of improvements in glycaemic control is clinically relevant in preventing diabetic complications. READ MORE

  7. 10. Combined sulphonylurea and insulin treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus : metabolic and electrophysiological studies

    Author : Lena Landstedt-Hallin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : type 2 diabetes; sulphonylurea; secondary failure; insulin; combined therapy; hypoglycaemia; glucagon; QT interval;

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes is a prevalent disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels and associated with increased morbidity from micro- and macrovascular complications. Lowering of blood glucose has been shown to reduce the incidence of such complications. READ MORE
