  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. Studies on exercise and glycogen re-synthesis in skeletal muscles of pigs with the PRKAG3 mutation

    Author : Anna Granlund; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays an important role in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle. Many pigs of Hampshire origin have a naturally occurring mutation situated in the PRKAG3 gene which encodes a muscle-specific isoform of the AMPK γ3-subunit. READ MORE

  5. 3. Neck muscle function in individuals with persistent pain and disability after whiplash injury

    Abstract : Background: Neck pain and disability are common after whiplash injury. One year after the accident up to 50 % still have symptoms called whiplash associated disorders (WAD). Despite decades of research the cause of persistent pain and disability are largely unknown and effective treatment and diagnostic tools are lacking. READ MORE

  6. 4. Invasive treatment for intermittent claudication - clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness

    Author : Henrik Djerf; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Intermittent claudication; peripheral arterial disease; health-related quality of life; cost-effectiveness; invasive treatment;

    Abstract : Intermittent claudication (IC) is caused by obstructive arterial lesions and is characterized by effort-induced pain in the lower extremity, limiting walking distance, and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The prevalence of IC is increasing due to the ageing of the population, and the consequences of the economic effects are a global problem. READ MORE

  7. 5. Chest pain and ischemic heart disease : Diagnosis and management in primary health care
