  2. 21. Urinary Biomarkers and Patient Outcome in Chronic Kidney Disease and Atherosclerotic Heart Disease: The value of IgM-uria and IgG-uria

    Author : Rafid Tofik; Njurmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteinuria; Albuminuria; urine IgM; urine IgG; glomerulonephritis; chronic kidney disease; atherosclerosis; cardiovascular disease; diabetic kidney disease.;

    Abstract : Risk stratification of patients with chronic kidney disease and atherosclerotic heart disease is crucial. Microalbuminuria (MA) is associated with an increased risk of kidney and cardiovascular (CV) death, especially in patients with diabetes. READ MORE

  4. 22. Cardiovascular role of PDGF-B in development and disease. Studies in genetically engineered mice

    Author : Henrik Nyström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : atherosclerosis; cardiovascular disease; cell retention; in vivo physiology; neointimal hyperplasia; PDGF; transgenic mice; vascular function; vascular smooth muscle cell;

    Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGF-B) is vital for microvascular development, and retention of PDGF-B to extracellular matrix (ECM) is important in this process. However, the role and source of PDGF-B in development of macrovascular function is disputed. READ MORE

  6. 24. Assessing and minimizing risk of patients with aortic disease

    Author : Roberta Vaccarino; Vaskulära sjukdomar - kliniska studier; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vascular diseases; Aortic disease; aortic aneurysm; risk assessment;

    Abstract : Prophylactic endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) aims to avoid aneurysm rupture. However, only patients with sufficient long-term survival get benefit from this avoidance. Therefore, accurate patient selection is crucial. READ MORE

  7. 25. Biomarkers of vascular function and structure in young healthy adults

    Author : Paul Pettersson-Pablo; Anita Hurtig-Wennlöf; Torbjörn Nilsson; Lars Breimer; Anders Larsson; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atherosclerosis; vascular function; vascular structure; body composition; age; inflammation; clinical chemistry; biomarker;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a disease affecting the blood vessels in the body. Its pathophysiologic mechanisms involve infiltration of the vessel walls by fatty matter and immune cells. This process is slow, starting in childhood but typically not manifesting as symptomatic disease until late adulthood (after 60 years of age). READ MORE
