2. 1. Lipoprotein lipase in hemodialysis patients and healthy controls : effects of heparin

   Author : Birgit Näsström; Per-Ola Attman; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : dalteparin; dialysis; lipoprotein metabolism; LMWH; LPL; triglycerides; UFH; uremia; medicinsk och fysiologisk kemi; Medical and Physiological Chemistry;

   Abstract : Mortality from cardiovascular disease in patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD) is 10 to 20 times greater than in the general population. One major risk factor is renal dyslipidemia, characterised by an impaired catabolism of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins with accumulation of atherogenic remnant particles. READ MORE

4. 2. Clinical aspects on treatment of deep venous thrombosis with a low molecular weight heparin

   Author : Margareta Holmström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Dalteparin is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) with a mean mw of 4-6000 D. Compared to unfractionated heparin (UFH), a higher bioavailability, a longer half-life and a more predictable dose-response is achieved after subcutaneous injections. READ MORE

5. 3. Improving management of STEMI patients treated with primary PCI : Pharmacotherapy, renal function estimation and gender perspective

   Author : Dimitrios Venetsanos; Eva Swahn; Joakim Alfredsson; Sofia Sederholm-Lawesson; Sigrun Halvorsen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This thesis focused on the acute management of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in an effort to provide information that may improve outcome. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin versus unfractionated heparin (UFH) in STEMI patients during primary PCI. READ MORE

6. 4. Antithrombotic Effects of Activated Protein C and Heparins in Deep Arterial Injury

   Author : Karl Malm; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; orthopaedics; Surgery; mutagenesis; protein S; protein C; heparin; bleeding; arterial thrombosis; animal model;

   Abstract : The investigations presented in this thesis have evaluated different strategies to prevent thrombosis in an experimental model of deep arterial injury in rats. Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is often used to prevent thrombosis in microvascular surgery and in other vascular interventions, but a major drawback of UFH is increased bleeding. READ MORE

7. 5. The effect of thrombin inhibitors on coagulation activity and generation of activated protein C

   Author : Rikard Linder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The direct thrombin inhibitor inogatran was, in the TRIM trial (n=1209), compared with unfractionated heparin (UFH) concerning the effect on cardiovascular end-points in unstable coronary artery disease. The results in TRIM demonstrated a trend towards a benefit for UFH during the treatment phase, which was reduced after drug withdrawal. READ MORE
