  2. 11. Regulation of striated muscle contraction

    Author : Ying Dou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background and Aims: Muscle contraction involves cross-bridge interaction between actin and myosin filaments, which is regulated by variations of intracellular [Ca2+] and influenced by several external control systems. To characterize the mechanism of contraction, we have studied the effects of pharmacological compounds influencing the actin-myosin interaction and/or Ca2+ activation systems. READ MORE

    Abstract : Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), caused by ischaemic heart disease (IHD), is a leading cause of death in both men and women in the western society. Hypertension, diabetes, and smoking are examples of well-known risk factors of IHD, but also there are psychosocial factors, such as stress, vital exhaustion (unusual fatigue, irritability, and demoralization) and depression that have been associated with an increased risk in both genders.

  5. 13. Transvascular fluid dynamics in the pulmonary vasculature in horses at rest and during exercise

    Author : Modest Vengust; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Maximal exercise results in a marked increase in cardiac output (Q) with consequent adaptations in pulmonary macro- and microvasculature. These adaptations change pulmonary hemodynamics and increase fluid and solute movement between the pulmonary circulation and the pulmonary interstitium (across the lung). READ MORE

  6. 14. Exposure-based cognitive behavior therapy for atrial fibrillation : a novel treatment paradigm

    Author : Josefin Särnholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia associated with symptoms such as irregular heartbeat, palpitations, dyspnea, chest pain and fatigue. In many patients, AF symptoms are not alleviated by current treatment strategies and there is a clinical need for better symptom management. READ MORE

  7. 15. Exercise training and testing in patients with heart failure

    Author : Charlotta Lans; Lars Brudin; Eva Nylander; Åsa Cider; Anita Wisén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Patients with heart failure (HF) suffer from symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue and reduced quality of life, which affect their physical function and often lead to immobilization and poor survival prognosis. Exercise training in cardiac rehabilitation should be offered to every patient with HF and can be performed both in a hospital-setting and with a home training programme. READ MORE
