  2. 1. Obesity-associated inflammation in adipose tissue

    Author : Malin Alvehus; Tommy Olsson; Agneta Holmäng; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipose tissue; inflammation; pro-inflammatory cytokines; serum; obesity; weight loss; menopause;

    Abstract : Background: Excess body fat, particularly in the visceral depot, is linked to increased mortality and morbidity, including the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Chronic low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue may be a key mediator of obesity-associated diseases. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tissue Factor and CD40 Ligand : Markers for the Interplay of Coagulation and Inflammation in the Acute Coronary Syndrome

    Author : Anders Mälarstig; Agneta Siegbahn; Lars Wallentin; Taavo Tenno; Fiona Green; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular medicine; tissue factor; CD40 ligand; gene expression; single nucleotide polymorphism; acute coronary syndrome; myocardial infarction; coagulation; inflammation; Molekylärmedicin;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: Tissue factor (TF) is a 47 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein known as the main initiator of blood coagulation. CD40 ligand is another membrane molecule, which ligates to cell types associated with atherosclerotic plaques thereby mediating intraplaque inflammation and weakening of the fibrous cap. READ MORE

  5. 3. Priming and activation of neutrophils from blood and tissue

    Author : Lisa Davidsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neutrophil; priming; gout; inflammation; transmigration; neutrophil extracellular traps NETs ;

    Abstract : Inflammation is a powerful process, involved in many disease states, as well as in physiological situations. Neutrophils, the main characters of this thesis, are potent immune cells with the capacity to regulate inflammatory responses. In health, circulating blood neutrophils are regarded as quiescent, with limited responsiveness to stimuli. READ MORE

  6. 4. Subacromial inflammation : Clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Carsten Hoe-Hansen; Andris Kreicbergs; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Shoulder pain and disability are common clinical problems. One major cause is subacromial inflammation and impingement of the supraspinatus tendon. These patients are usually offered conservative treatment or arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASD). READ MORE

  7. 5. Biodegradable magnesium implants, immunomodulation, and tissue repair/regeneration

    Author : Heithem Ben Amara; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adipose tissue; Biodegradable implants; Bone–implant interface; Bone marrow; Inflammation; Cellular mechanotransduction; Gene expression; Immunohistochemistry; Magnesium; Neovascularization; Osseointegration; Soft tissue injuries;

    Abstract : The century-old paradigm of holding fractures with a metallic implant to enable bone repair, known as osteosynthesis, is still used today without alteration. Patients are increasingly being treated with metallic implants made of magnesium (Mg) that secure osteosynthesis and are reabsorbed in situ without the surgical re-entry that requires their permanent analogs.
