1. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, with focus on vascular wall changes, cardiac risk-factor awareness and cardiovascular events
Abstract : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease with a wide range of disease manifestations with respect to severity and magnitude of organ involvement. An increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with the general population causes both morbidity and mortality in SLE patients. READ MORE

2. Assessment of microvascular effects of vasoactive drugs : Methodological in vivo studies in humansbased on iontophoresis
Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in western societies and endothelial dysfunction is one of the earliest signs seen in the development of such conditions. Thedevelopment of prognostic tools to aid in the prediction of micro- and macrovascular diseasebased on assessment of vascular reactivity is therefore of paramount importance. READ MORE

3. Local Purinergic Control of Arteriolar Reactivity in Pancreatic Islets and Renal Glomeruli
Abstract : Local control of regional blood flow is exerted mainly through the arterioles. An adequate minute-to-minute regulation of blood perfusion of the kidney and the pancreas is obtained by the modulation of arteriolar reactivity, which will influence the organ function. READ MORE

4. Hemostasis and microvascular function in type 1 diabetes : effects of treatment with statin and aspirin
Abstract : Background: Patients with type 1 diabetes often develop microvascular complications and are at increased risk of premature cardiovascular disease. Women with type 1 diabetes lack the normal female protection against cardiovascular disease and may even be at higher risk compared with men with type 1 diabetes. READ MORE

5. Platelet function in diabetes mellitus : relationships to hyperglycaemia, antidiabetic treatment and microangiopathy
Abstract : Diabetes mellitus is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis and increased morbidity and mortality in micro-and macrovascular complications. The metabolic derangements that accompany diabetes can adversely influence platelets and vascular endothelial function, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic angiopathy. READ MORE
