1. Pulmonary hypertension. Clinical and pathophysiological studies
Abstract : Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common abnormality, most often associated with various cardiopulmonary diseases. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating pulmonary vascular disease characterised by the proliferation of endothelial, smooth-muscle cells and fibroblasts. READ MORE

2. Vascular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension
Abstract : Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive obliterative vasculopathy with multifactorial etiology and high mortality rate. Endothelial dysfunction, excessive vascular remodeling, inflammation and in situ thrombosis contribute to increased vascular resistance and gradual occlusion of pulmonary vessels. READ MORE

3. The bone cement implantation syndrome - epidemiology, pathophysiology and prevention
Abstract : Bone cementation implantation syndrome (BCIS) has significant morbidity and mortality for patients who are undergoing cemented hip hemiarthroplasty or arthroplasty. The aim of this thesis is to contribute with information of the epidemiological parameters of BCIS and identify risk factors. READ MORE

4. Vardenafil and methylarginines in pulmonary hypertension
Abstract : Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare condition characterized by endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodelling, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and right ventricular heart failure. Endothelial dysfunction is associated with an imbalance between vasoconstrictor compounds, such as endothelin and thromboxane A2, and vasodilator compounds, such as prostacyclin and nitric oxide (NO).

5. Pulmonary Hypertension and the Nitric Oxide System
Abstract : Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a pathophysiological state associated with several medical conditions, leading to progressive rise in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and right ventricular failure. The clinical PH classification encompasses five main World Health Organization (WHO) groups; pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), PH due to left heart disease, PH due to lung diseases and/or hypoxia, chronic thromboembolic PH, and PH with unclear multifactorial mechanisms.
