2. 1. Biomarkers of inflammation in atrial fibrillation

   Author : Julia Aulin; Jonas Oldgren; Ziad Hijazi; Lars Wallentin; Håkan Wallén; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; biomarkers; inflammation; inflammatory biomarkers; oral anticoagulation; heart failure; left ventricular function; ejection fraction; risk assessment; risk prediction; interleukin 6 IL-6 ; C-reactive protein CRP ;

   Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure (HF) and mortality. Inflammation is linked to AF.The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate inflammatory activity and cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in patients with AF on effective oral anticoagulation.

   Abstract : Psoriasis is a common heterogeneous inflammatory disease with its predominant manifestation occurring in the skin. The impact of this disease, however, extends far beyond the skin surface. READ MORE

5. 3. Joint disease biomarkers - discovery and application

   Author : Dovilė Sinkevičiūtė; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Osteoarthritis; Psoriatic arthritis; cartilage; Proteomics; Biomarkers; ELISA; Tissue culture; Extracellular matrix ECM ;

   Abstract : Dysregulated cartilage homeostasis, articular cartilage degradation and abnormal bone remodeling are common denominators in joint disease and can lead to severe disability for the patients. The molecular pathways behind the disease pathology can overlap across different joint diseases. READ MORE

6. 4. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: exacerbations and mortality : Prognostic value of biomarkers and comorbidities

   Author : Jens Ellingsen; Andrei Malinovschi; Christer Janson; Arnulf Langhammer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; COPD; exacerbations; mortality; biomarkers; comorbidity; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

   Abstract : Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. COPD is associated with systemic inflammation, and comorbidities are common. A characteristic feature is acute exacerbations (AECOPDs), i.e. READ MORE

7. 5. Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Dysautonomia: an Emerging Field

   Author : Madeleine Johansson; Kardiovaskulär forskning - hypertoni; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomarkers; Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction; Syncope; Orthostatic hypotension; Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome; Cardiovascular disease; Autonomic dysfunction;

   Abstract : Background: Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction is a multifactorial disorder manifested as orthostatic hypotension (OH) and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). OH has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood and explored. READ MORE
