  2. 11. Epidemiology of venous thromboembolism with focus on risk markers

    Author : Magdalena Johansson; Lars Johansson; Marcus Lind; Jan-Håkan Jansson; Gerd Lärfars; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Venous thromboembolism; venous thrombosis; deep vein thrombosis; pulmonary embolism; incidence; risk markers; diabetes; glucose; alcohol consumption; alcohol dependence; physical activity; medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a vascular disease with an incidence of approximately 140 cases per 100,000 person-years in adults. The incidence of VTE has increased over the last decades, and more than 20% of affected individuals die in the first year after diagnosis. READ MORE

  4. 12. Clinical applications of MRI in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism

    Author : Koshiar Medson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially serious medical condition and is the third most common cause of death among cardiovascular diseases. The diagnosis of PE is made with imaging due to its nonspecific clinical signs and symptoms. READ MORE

  5. 13. Epidemiological and Clinical Aspects of Hormonal Contraception and Menopausal Hormone Therapy in Women

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hormonal contraceptives; Obesity; Menopausal hormone therapy; Hormone replacement therapy; Pulmonary embolism; Premature menopause; Pharmacoepidemiology;

    Abstract : Background: The main indications for therapy with female sex hormones are contraception and menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). The aim of this thesis was to investigate the use of hormonal contraception and MHT in different populations of women in Sweden, 2000–2021. The use of contraception in women with obesity was studied.

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers. The first two papers, which comprise the main part of the thesis, deal with an unexpected connection between kernel density estimators and dimension spectra for multifractal measures. READ MORE

  7. 15. Venous thromboembolism. Aspects on risk factors, diagnostic tools and treatment with thrombin inhibition

    Author : Karin Wåhlander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : deep vein thrombosis; pulmonary embolism; venous thromboembolism; Factor V Leiden; prothrombin gene G20210A; thrombin inhibition; ximelagatran; melagatran; PT; APTT; D-dimer.;

    Abstract : Venous thromboembolism (VTE), comprising deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a multifactorial disease. The aims of the present thesis were to investigate Factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A mutations as potential risk factors for VTE during and after major surgery, to compare different D-dimer assays and evaluate their usefulness in the diagnosis of DVT, to investigate clinical effects, safety and pharmacokinetic properties of an oral thrombin inhibitor (ximelagatran) when treating VTE and finally to investigate the usefulness of coagulation assays (APTT and PT) during treatment with thrombin inhibition.
