21. Short-term exposure to ozone in relation to mortality and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest : exploring sensitive subgroups by previous hospitalizations
Abstract : Background: Several epidemiological studies have associated short-term ozone (O3) exposure with mortality, as well as with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and other morbidity. Knowledge on which parts of the general population that are susceptible to adverse O3-related health effects is scarce. READ MORE

22. Studies on Heparin Binding protein in bacterial infections
Abstract : Infectious diseases remain a major health problem, where sepsis and other severe bacterial infections are common causes of morbidity and mortality, and are associated with high costs for the community. The importance of early and appropriate treatment of sepsis and severe bacterial infections has been underlined by many and since sepsis is more prevalent and has a higher mortality rate than for instance acute myocardial infarction, there is a need for improvement.

23. Oral glucose tolerance test as a prognostic tool in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Abstract : Background: Disturbances of glucose metabolism such as type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance are established risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality. The disturbances lead to hyperglycaemia and the most common methods to diagnose hyperglycaemia are HbA1c, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG). READ MORE

25. Release and Clearance Mechanisms of Cardiac Troponin
Abstract : Myocardial infarction (MI) is often suspected when a patient presents with chest pain. MI is defined as cardiac necrosis due to ischemia, most often mediated through impaired coronary perfusion. Cardiac necrosis results in the release of myoglobin, creatine kinase and cardiac troponin (cTn) to the circulation. READ MORE
