  2. 1. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass as treatment of morbid obesity

    Author : Anna Laurenius; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; dietary energy density; food choice; meal size; eating rate; meal pattern; eating behavior; dumping syndrome; construct validity; hypoglycemia;

    Abstract : Background and aims: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is now a common treatment for obesity with well-documented effects on long-term weight reduction, health-related quality of life, obesity-related morbidity and mortality. There is a need for a better understanding of changes in dietary intake and meal-related symptoms after RYGB. READ MORE

  4. 2. Behavior change intervention and fear of hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes

    Author : Therese Anderbro; Unn-Britt Johansson; Jan Lisspers; Erik Moberg; Linda Gonder-Frederick; Sophiahemmet Högskola; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Type 1 diabetes; Fear of hypoglycemia; Psychometrics; Behavior modification; Cognitive behavior therapy; Behavioral medicine; Glycemic control; type 1 diabetes;

    Abstract : Introduction: Individuals with type 1 diabetes require lifelong insulin supply as well as behavioral adjustments for good treatment result. Only a minority reach the goal for glycemic control set in order to reduce the risk of severe long-term complications. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mechanisms of Brain Damage Following Focal Cerebral Ischemia: Changes in Ion Homeostasis and the Importance of Free Radical Formation

    Author : Gunilla Gidö; Sektion IV; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PBN; free radicals; potassium; extracellular calcium; neuronal damage; energy-depletion; hypoglycemia; Cerebral focal ischemia; spreading depression; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis mechanisms of neuronal damage were investigated in an experimental stroke model i.e focal ischemia. The influence of SD-induced calcium transients on neuronal damage were studied in animals with reduced energy supply. READ MORE

  6. 4. Ischemic and Hypoglycemic Brain Damage, Involvement of the Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore

    Author : Hans Friberg; Lund Wallenberg Neurocentrum; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mitochondrial permeability transition pore; mitochondria; apoptosis; neuronal death; brain; ischemia; hypoglycemia; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : Brain damage from ischemia-reperfusion and hypoglycemia are major causes of morbidity and mortality. Therapeutic strategies include hypothermia, glutamate-receptor blockade, immunosuppression and lately treatment aiming at preserving mitochondrial integrity and function. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in hypopituitary patients and metabolic effects of growth hormone treatment

    Author : Birgitta Bulow; Lund Medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glucose metabolism; growth hormone replacement; growth hormone deficiency; long-term survival; craniopharyngioma; cardiovascular risk factors; Hypopituitarism; cardiovascular mortality; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

    Abstract : Premature atherosclerosis, cardiovascular risk factors and increased cardiovascular mortality have been shown in patients with hypopituitarism on conventional hormone treatment, but without growth hormone (GH) replacement. The aims of paper I-III were to investigate separately the risks for cerebrovascular and cardiac mortality as well as the incidence of cardiovascular disease in patients with hypopituitarism and to assess the long-term prognosis for patients with craniopharyngioma.
