2. 1. Platelet reactivity and comorbidities in acute coronary syndrome

   Author : Fredrik Björklund; Thomas Mooe; David Erlinge; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acute coronary syndrome; myocardial infarction; platelet reactivity; platelet aggregation; Inflammation; infection; diabetes mellitus; chronic kidney disease; acute kidney injury; Cardiology; kardiologi;

   Abstract : Background In the event of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the risk of death and complications such as stroke and re-infarction is high during the first month. Diabetes, impaired kidney function, elevated markers of systemic inflammation and high level of platelet reactivity have all been associated with worsened prognosis in ACS patients. READ MORE

4. 2. Monitoring of coagulation and platelet function in paediatric cardiac surgery

   Author : Birgitta S Romlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; paediatric cardiac surgery; haemostasis; platelet; coagulation; thromboelastometry; impedance aggregometry; coagulopathy; haemoconcentration;

   Abstract : Abstract Background: Paediatric cardiac surgery has developed dramatically during the last decades. Today, a wide range of patients is operated on-from premature neonates to grown up children with congenital heart disease. Excessive bleeding during and after cardiac surgery is still common, and it is one of the most serious complications. READ MORE

5. 3. On platelet-rich plasma in reconstructive dental implant surgery

   Author : Andreas Thor; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : autogenous bone graft; bone formation; coagulation; clinical study; complement; dental implant; experimental study; growth factors; platelet activation; platelet-rich plasma; sinus lift surgery; thrombogenicity;

   Abstract : Abstract Background Severe athrophy of the edentulous maxilla may require augmentation before implants can be placed. Autogenous bone has been used for reconstruction in block or in particulated form. READ MORE

6. 4. Platelet transfusions in hematological disorders

   Author : Cecilia Karlström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Platelets are important for clot formation and vascular integrity. Thrombocytopenic patients with hematological disorders are at risk of bleeding and platelet transfusions are important in supportive care and treatment of lite-threatening bleedings. READ MORE

7. 5. Platelet Activation and Inhibition in Connection with Vascular Stents

   Author : Kjeld Christensen; Rolf Larsson; Sten Husted; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medicine; platelets; inhibition; activation; stents; ACS; Medicin;

   Abstract : This thesis describes the Chandler loop, which makes it possible to conduct studies in vitro of molecular and cellular interactions between whole blood and stents. It was possible to monitor activation and inhibition of the cascades systems, leukocytes and platelets by combining different platelet inhibitors and heparin coating of stents. READ MORE
