2. 1. Hyperglycaemia during pregnancy : The challenge of screening and deciding diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes in Sweden

   Author : Maryam de Brun; Helena Backman; David Simmons; Per Ovesen; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gestational diabetes mellitus; screening; prevalence; maternal and neonatal outcomes; health economic analysis;

   Abstract : Hyperglycaemia during pregnancy is one of the most common complicationsof pregnancy. In 2013, the World Health Organisation recommended diagnostic criteria (WHO-2013) for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), whichremains controversial due to an expected increase in prevalence, and the uncertainty as to the clinical relevance of treating these additional women or its cost-effectiveness.

4. 2. Hyperglycaemia and diabetic eye complications - a clinical and epidemiological study

   Author : Marianne Henricsson; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mortality; blindness; cataract surgery; oral antihyperglycaemic agents; hyperglycaemia; insulin treatment; non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus; diabetic retinopathy; insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; Ophtalmology; Oftalmologi;

   Abstract : Aim: To study the relationship between hyperglycaemia and the onset/progression of retinopathy, blindness/moderate visual impairment or death, as well as the impact of improved glycaemic control on retinopathy in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Methods: Between January 1990 and October 1995 a total of 3,220 diabetic patients were enrolled in a programme for control and screening for retinopathy. READ MORE

5. 3. Diabetes complications, risk factors, and glycaemic indices in persons with type 1 diabetes

   Author : Sara Hallström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 1 diabetes; Type 2 diabetes; Hyperglycaemia; Diabetes complications; Renal insufficiency; Amputation; Atrial fibrillation; Mortality; Myocardial infarction; Heart failure; Stroke; Continuous glucose monitoring;

   Abstract : Background: Persons with type 1 diabetes are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. An important risk factor for diabetes complications is hyperglycaemia. Hyperglycaemia has traditionally been measured using HbA1c, but glycaemic targets are also provided for continuous glucose monitoring. READ MORE

6. 4. Diabetes mellitus and acute coronary syndromes. Prognosis and risk factors

   Author : Ann-Marie Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : diabetes; prognosis; hyperglycaemia; hypoglycaemia; risk-factors; morbidity; mortality; unstable coronary syndrome; unstable angina pectoris; acute myocardial infarction;

   Abstract : Aims: the aims of the thesis were: - To investigate the prognostic influence of diabetes on short- and long-term mortality after an episode of unstable coronary disease - To evaluate the association between glycometabolic parameters on admission and during hospitalization and the 2 year mortality risk among diabetic patients with unstable coronary disease - To investigate the influence of diabetes on treatment and outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) - To determine long-term morbidity and mortality after hospitalization for unstable coronary disease in patients with and without diabetes Diabetes was associated with higher mortality: We investigated an unselected series of 4,341 patients with unstable angina or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, of which 722 (17%) had diabetes. Diabetes was associated with increased mortality during initial hospitalization (10. READ MORE

7. 5. Bedside monitoring of cerebral energy metabolism using intracerebral microdialysis during neuro intensive care

   Author : Nils Ståhl; Neurokirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; Neurologi; neuropsychology; Neurology; glycerol.; glutamate; pyruvate; lactate; glucose; hyperglycaemia; intensive care; brain injury; Human; cerebral microdialysis; neurophysiology;

   Abstract : In clinical situations with raised intracranial pressure (ICP) and impending insufficient cerebral blood flow (ischaemia), bedside information about energy metabolism in the brain would be helpful. Microdialysis is a technique that makes it possible to monitor the interstitial concentrations of various compounds in an organ. READ MORE
