2. 6. Bleeding complications after acute coronary syndrome with special reference to intracranial hemorrhage

   Author : Anna Graipe; Thomas Mooe; Fredrik Björklund; Joakim Alfredsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute myocardial infarction; serious bleeding; intracranial hemorrhage hemorrhagic stroke; Medicine; medicin;

   Abstract : Background: Bleeding complications following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have attracted considerable attention in recent years. The gradual implementation of new evidence-based treatments in patients with ACS, with a focus on anti-ischemic therapy, has reduced the risk of ischemic events (new myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke) but at the expense of increased bleeding risk.

4. 7. Inflammation and Coagulation Activity in Unstable Coronary Artery Disease and the Influences of Thrombin Inhibition

   Author : Jonas Oldgren; Steen Husted; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; Unstable coronary artery disease; inflammation; coagulation; thrombin inhibition; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; kardiologi; Cardiology;

   Abstract : In patients with unstable coronary artery disease, this study evaluated the degree of inflammation and coagulation activity, relations to myocardial cell damage, prognosis, and influences of randomisation to 72 h infusion with three different doses of inogatran, a direct thrombin inhibitor (n=904), or unfractionated heparin (n=305). Anticoagulant treatment effects were evaluated with aPT time. READ MORE

5. 8. Novel immunological mechanisms and factors in systemic lupus erythematosus-related cardiovascular disease

   Author : Anna Cederholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Systemic lupus erythematosus; cardiovascular disease; atherosclerosis; atherothrombosis; antiphospholipid antibodies; Annexin A5;

   Abstract : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a clinical syndrome of autoimmune origin. It manifests in diverse clinical and serological patterns and is considered to represent a prototype multisystemic autoimmune disease. The etiopathigenesis of SLE remains incompletely understood.

6. 9. Recurrent stroke : risk factors, predictors and prognosis

   Author : Johanna Pennlert; Marie Eriksson; Per-Gunnar Wiklund; Bo Carlberg; Hélène Pessah-Rasmussen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; risk factors; atrial fibrillation; anticoagulant; antiplatelet; intracerebral hemorrhage; stroke recurrence; socioeconomic status; medicin; Medicine;

   Abstract : Background Many risk factors for stroke are well characterized and might, at least to some extent, be similar for first-ever stroke and for recurrent stroke events. However, previous studies have shown heterogeneous results on predictors and rates of stroke recurrence. READ MORE

7. 10. Drug use in the elderly : are quantity and quality compatible

   Author : Inga Klarin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Population-based; cross-sectional; longitudinal; aged; aged 80 and over; drug utilization; cardiovascular agents; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; inappropriate drug use; heart failure; dementia; hospitalization; mortality; Sweden.;

   Abstract : The increasing number of elderly, and the increasing drug use among the elderly, emphasizes the need to continuously monitor drug utilization in this group. The scarcity of randomized controlled trials including elderly people give population-based, observational studies an important role as source of information on drug use and drug-related problems.
