  2. 1. New markers of alcohol consumption : development and evaluation of the clinical use of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin in serum and 5-hydroxytryptophol in urine

    Author : Annette Voltaire Carlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Alcohol drinking; 5-hydrogxytryptophol; 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid; urine; human; ;

    Abstract : Treatment of alcohol dependence and evaluation of treatment and research programs are often based on self-reports of the patients. Since the alcohol consumption pattern does not always relate to the reported behaviour there is a need for validation by reliable biochemical markers. READ MORE

  4. 2. Inflammatory markers and prognosis in acute coronary syndromes

    Author : Anna M Jansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : acute coronary syndrome;

    Abstract : Background: Inflammation both accelerates atherosclerosis and contributes to the activation and rupture of the atherosclerotic plaque. Several markers of inflammation, such as CRP, have shown prognostic merit in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). READ MORE
