  2. 1. Experimental studies of corneal neovascularisation

    Author : Branka Samolov; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The cornea contains no vessels, which is a prerequisite for the maintenance of its transparency. Vessel ingrowth leads to opacification resulting in visual impairment, sometimes complete blindness. READ MORE

  4. 2. The patellar tendon in junior elite volleyball players and an Olympic elite weightlifter

    Author : Karl Gisslén; Håkan Alfredson; Jon Karlsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; jumper’s knee; patellar tendinopathy; chronic pain; ultrasonography; doppler; neovascularisation; volleyball; weightlifting; Medicine; Medicin; Orthopaedics; ortopedi;

    Abstract : The principal aim of the present thesis was to prospectively follow (clinical status and ultrasound + Doppler findings) the patellar tendons in the young elite volleyball players at the Swedish National Centre for high school volleyball in Falköping. In an Olympic weightlifter with chronic painful jumper´s knee, the effects of treatment with sclerosing injections followed by early instituted very heavy weightlifting training, was also evaluated.

  5. 3. Macrophage expression of VEGF and VEGFR-1. Potential involvement in atherogenesis

    Author : Linda Salomonsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : atherosclerosis; macrophages; oxLDL; statins; VEGF; VEGFR-1;

    Abstract : The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family is a group of proteins which contributes to both neovascularisation and inflammation. Elevated levels of VEGF have been found in subjects with atherosclerosis and correlate to several cardiovascular risk factors, e.g. hypertension and hyperlipidemia. READ MORE

  6. 4. The chronic painful Achilles tendon : sonographic findings and new methods for treatment

    Author : Lars Öhberg; Karim Khan; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiation sciences; Strålningsvetenskap; Radiation biology; Strålningsbiologi;

    Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to evaluate sonographic methods for investigation of the chronic painful Achilles tendon. In a prospective study on patients with chronic painful mid-portion Achilles tendinosis, grey-scale ultrasound (US) showed a decreased tendon thickness and a “normalized” structure in the majority of patients successfully treated with eccentric calf-muscle training.

  7. 5. Giant Cell Arteritis - Pathogenetic and Epidemiological Aspects

    Author : Karolina Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; giant cell arteritis; temporal arteritis; polymyalgia rheumatica; estrogen; MxA-protein; IFN type 1; Stereology; Neovascularization; immunocytochemistry;

    Abstract : Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of medium-size and large arteries which affects people aged 50 years or older with a female preponderance. The two different expressions of GCA are temporal arteritis (TA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). READ MORE
