  2. 21. The Impact of Pancreatic Islet Vascular Heterogeneity on Beta Cell Function and Disease

    Author : Sara Ullsten; Per-Ola Carlsson; Joey Lau; Sara Bohman; Rebecca L. Hull; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Pancreatic islets; heterogeneity; islet vascularity; blood flow; islet transplantation; islet amyloid; insulitis; type 1 diabetes; beta cell proliferation; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Diabetes Mellitus is a group of complex and heterogeneous metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia. Even though the condition has been extensively studied, its causes and complex pathologies are still not fully understood. The occurring damage to the pancreatic islets is strikingly heterogeneous.

  4. 22. Vascular metabolomics : role of VEGF-B in fatty acid uptake and metabolic disease

    Author : Carolina Hagberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The incidence of type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome is rapidly increasing among both adults and children worldwide. Type 2 diabetes is strongly associated with obesity and ectopic lipid accumulation. Recent research has shown that peripheral insulin sensitivity is directly impaired by excessive lipid deposition within tissues. READ MORE

  5. 23. Effects of cold and hand-arm vibration on the peripheral neurosensory and vascular system : an occupational perspective

    Author : Daniel Carlsson; Jens Wahlström; Tohr Nilsson; Erik Nordh; Hans Pettersson; Tiina Ikäheimo; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hand-arm vibration; Raynaud’s phenomenon; paresthesia; sensation of cold; hand-arm vibration syndrome; quantitative sensory testing; cold sensitivity; cold; cold exposure; frostbite; Sweden; cold injury; military; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Abstract : Background In Swedish working life, exposure to cold and exposure to hand-arm vibration (HAV) are two common health hazards. Health effects of HAV in the neurosensory, vascular and musculoskeletal systems are collectively denoted hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), and have been thoroughly studied. READ MORE

  6. 24. Angiogenetic and hereditary factors in endometrial disease

    Author : Emil Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The endometrium is a unique tissue in the adult human body because it is the only site where physiological renewal of vessels, angiogenesis, occurs. The regulation of this process under normal conditions is not fully understood. READ MORE

  7. 25. Blood pressure, blood pressure variability and myocardial ischemia : studies in patients with peripheral arterial disease and matched control subjects

    Author : Per Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Peripheral vascular diseases; hypertension drug therapy; ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; coronary artery disease; ambulatory electrocardiography; SPECT; NT-proBNP;

    Abstract : Background: Patients presenting with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) often have concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD), which is frequently asymptomatic. Ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring improves risk stratification in hypertensive patients beyond that offered by office BP(OBP) measurements. READ MORE
