  4. 2. Immune tolerance by interferon-alpha in experimental arthritis

    Author : Jaya Prakash Chalise; Mattias Magnusson; Thomas Skogh; Richard O Williams; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Type I Interferons (mainly IFN-α & IFN-β) belong to a family of cytokines that possess strong antiviral and immunomodulatory properties. Pro- and/or anti-inflammatory effects of type I IFN have been observed in infectious diseases and several autoimmune diseases including SLE, MS, RA and experimental models thereof, but what defines either outcome is largely obscure.

  5. 3. On improvement of exercise tolerance in patients with chronic heart failure, with special reference to local muscle training

    Author : Allan Gordon; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Chronic heart failure; creatine; exercise capacity; local muscle training; skeletal muscle; ;

    Abstract : Reduced heart pump function and skeletal muscle abnormalities are considered important determinants for the low physical exercise capacity in chronic heart failure. Because of reduced ventricular function, traditional physical rehabilitation with whole body training may cause under perfusion and low local work intensity, thereby producing suboptimal conditions for skeletal muscle training.

  6. 4. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction : Anatomic and biomechanical considerations of graft placement and fixation

    Author : Lars Good; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : This study, comprising 7 separate papers, is concerned with the mechanical causes of graft failure after intraarticular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The study is predominantly experimental in design, but a clinical follow-up is also included to test a causal hypothesis of secondary graft elongation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Physical fitness and quality of life in elderly patients recovering from an acute coronary event : a randomised controlled study on the effects of aerobic group training

    Author : Agneta Ståhle; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : elderly; acute coronary event; myocardial infarction; unstable angina pectoris; aerobic group training; exercise capacity; health related quality of life; randomised controlled trial; cardiac rehabilitation; physiotherapy; heart rate variability;

    Abstract : An active lifestyle into old age has been shown to reduce the risk for chronic disease, and conserve functional capacity. Caediac rehabilitation including exercise training is of proven value in ischemic heart disease. READ MORE
