  2. 11. NFAT signaling in chronic and acute inflammation - A novel target for the treatment of diabetic vascular complications and acute pancreatitis?

    Author : Anna Zetterqvist; Diabetiska komplikationer; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NFAT; vascular; diabetes; inflammation; atherosclerosis; diabetic retinopathy; acute pancreatitis; osteopontin; VCAM-1; A-285222;

    Abstract : Diabetic patients suffer from macro- and microvascular complications causing increased morbidity and mortality. How hyperglycemia provokes vascular damage remains unclear, but glucose is believed to fuel a harmful low-grade chronic inflammation of the vessel wall. READ MORE

  4. 12. Studies on Retinal Circulation in Experimental Animals, Healthy Human Eyes and Eyes with Diabetic Retinopathy

    Author : Lidija Tomić; Albert Alm; Einar Stefánsson; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : The retina is a highly metabolically active tissue with large demands on the supply of nutrients. Disorders affecting the retina often include some vasculopathy with an impact on retinal circulation. READ MORE

  5. 13. A New Model for Assessment of Change in Visual Function in Diabetes

    Author : Karl-Johan Hellgren; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetic retinopathy; visual function; perimetry;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to determine whether perimetry using a new model to interpret deterioration or improvement in the visual field can be employed to assess change in visual function over time in diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy has long been considered a microvascular disease, but it is still a matter of debate to what extent diabetes also affects retinal neurons. READ MORE

  6. 14. Glycaemic control: evaluation of HbA1c as a risk factor and the effect of modern insulins in clinical practice

    Author : Marcus Lind; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HbA1c; glargine; lispro; time; retinopathy; clinical practice; electronical tracking; record system;

    Abstract : One of the ultimate goals of diabetes care is to minimise diabetic complications. When evaluating insulins it is important to understand what extent of improvements in glycaemic control is clinically relevant in preventing diabetic complications. READ MORE

  7. 15. ENDOTHELIAL- EPITHELIAL INTERACTIONS Blood vessels friends or foes?

    Author : Fredrik Wolfhagen Sand; Stamcellscentrum (SCC); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; blood vessels; pancreas; endoderm development; S1P1; N-CAM; diabetic retinopathy; diabetes; tubulogenesis; Cdc42;

    Abstract : Diabetes affects enormous amounts of patients. In type 1 diabetes the insulin producing β cells in the islet of Langerhans are destroyed by the immune system. The β cells, which are located in the pancreas, regulate blood glucose levels. The lack of insulin production requires administration of insulin. READ MORE
