  4. 17. Vascular remodelling and circulating basement membrane fragments in abdominal aortic aneurysm

    Author : Mari Holsti; Malin Sund; Anders Wanhainen; Joakim Nordanstig; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AAA; extracellular matrix; vascular remodelling; collagen; inflammation; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a degenerative disease, characterized by advanced inflammation and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling. Enhanced protease activity mediated by cytokines results in the degradation of ECM proteins, leading to the generation of different bioactive fragments. READ MORE

  5. 18. Microvascular plasticity and neurovascular coupling in the pharmacotherapy of Parkinson's disease

    Author : Elisabet Ohlin; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson s disease; levodopa; dyskinesia; angiogenesis; cerebral blood flow; blood-brain barrier;

    Abstract : L-DOPA pharmacotherapy in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with adverse effects occurring after a few years of treatment. Among these, dyskinesia (abnormal involuntary movements) is particularly common and potentially disabling. READ MORE

  6. 19. Vascular endothelial growth factor B-role in metabolism, lipotoxicity and disease

    Author : Annika Mehlem; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor B (VEGF-B) was previously shown to control lipid uptake from the bloodstream via the endothelium into tissue cells, and when ablating Vegfb, intra-tissue lipid accumulation was reduced. However, very little is known regarding the metabolic role of VEGF-B in physiologic, or pathophysiologic conditions. READ MORE

  7. 20. Effects of Hemoglobin Normalization with Epoetin in Chronic Kidney Disease

    Author : Hans Furuland; Björn Wikström; Torbjörn Linde; Peter Barany; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Internal medicine; Anemia; blood viscosity; cardiac output; chronic kidney disease; renal dialysis; dialysis adequacy; erythopoietin; heart rate variability; hemoglobin; hemorheology; hypertension; kidney transplantation; Kt V; left ventricular hypertrophy; Quality of Life; Invärtesmedicin; Internal medicine; Invärtesmedicin;

    Abstract : Anemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CDK), contributes to reduced Quality of Life (QoL) and is associated with cardiovascular disease, morbidity and mortality. Epoetin raises hemoglobin (Hb) and increases QoL and physical exercise capacity. READ MORE
