2. 1. Risk factors in ischemic stroke

   Author : Katarina Jood; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : stroke; ischemic stroke subtypes; genetics; polymorphism; fibrinolysis; obesity; stress;

   Abstract : Ischemic stroke is a complex disease in which environmental and genetic factors make about equal contributions to the etiology. However, knowledge regarding the molecular basis of the genetic influence and the impact of specific lifestyle factors is limited. READ MORE

4. 2. Genetic association studies in stroke

   Author : Claes Ladenvall; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : stroke; ischemic stroke subtypes; subarachnoid hemorrhage; genetics; polymorphism; fibrinolysis; tPA; PAI-1; TAFI; CRP; Factor XIII;

   Abstract : Stroke is the third most common cause of death and the most common cause of disability in adults in developed countries. It is a complex disease in which genetic and environmental factors make about equal contributions. READ MORE

5. 3. Prognosis and clinical outomes in stroke patients with transcatheter closure of an atrial shunt

   Author : Alexia Karagianni; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial shunt; cryptogenic stroke; patent foramen ovale; transcatheter intervention; cerebrovascular event; residual shunting;

   Abstract : Background: The percutaneous transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) after a cryptogenic cerebrovascular event (CVE) has been performed for more than two decades. In contrast with previous randomized studies, recent randomized studies support the closure of the PFO after a cryptogenic CVE in preference to medical treatment alone. READ MORE

6. 4. The hemostatic pathway in ischemic stroke. Clinical studies of genetic variation and plasma protein measurements

   Author : Ellen Hanson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ischemic stroke; etiologic subtypes of ischemic stroke; genetics; SNP; hemostasis; prothrombotic; ADAMTS13; VWF; ABO blood group; FSAP; FXI;

   Abstract : Although stroke is a common cause of death and disability in adults, there are few studies on stroke compared to other common diseases. A stroke could be either ischemic or hemorrhagic, but even within these two groups, disease etiology shows heterogeneity. READ MORE

7. 5. Aspects of migraine and patent foramen ovale in ischemic stroke

   Author : Maria Lantz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Stroke is one of the main causes of death and disability worldwide, and only in Sweden approximately 25 000 individuals suffer from stroke each year. This thesis focuses on two common conditions; migraine and patent foramen ovale (PFO) and their role in stroke. READ MORE
