1. Acute limb ischaemia : Treatment, outcome and time trends
Abstract : Acute limb ischaemia (ALI) is a frequent emergency associated with high rates of amputation and death. Traditionally, patients with ALI were treated with open surgical removal of the occlusion or bypass surgery. During the past few decades, new endovascular techniques developed. READ MORE

2. On costochondral grafts replacing mandibular condyles in juvenile chronic arthritis. A clinical, histological and experimental study
Abstract : In children with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA), disturbances of mandibular growth and function may result in involvement of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). The aim of this thesis was to study the stomatognathic system in JCA children and long-term effects on facial growth of treatment comprising replacement of arthritic mandibular condyles with autogenous costochondral grafts (CCGs) during growth.

3. Inflammatory Response in Peripheral Arterial Disease
Abstract : Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the manifestation of atherosclerotic lesions in arteries supplying blood to the legs. Atherosclerosis is now recognized as an inflammatory disease of the vessel wall and important features in the pathophysiology are activation of WBC, endothelial cells and increased levels of inflammatory mediators.

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

5. Outcomes of invasive treatment in chronic limb-threatening ischaemia
Abstract : Background In chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI), obstruction of the arterial blood flow causes ischaemic rest pain, ulcers or gangrene in the lower extremities. Patients with CLTI have a substantial risk of amputation unless the blood flow is improved, which requires invasive treatment through either open surgery or endovascular intervention. READ MORE
