1. Oxidative Stress, Angiogenesis and Inflammation in Normal Pregnancy and Postpartum
Sammanfattning : The aims were to investigate oxidative stress (I), angiogenesis (II) and inflammation (III-IV) in healthy women during pregnancy and postpartum. Oxidative stress was estimated by measurement of 8-iso-PGF2α and the antioxidants α- and γ-tocopherol. LÄS MER
2. Analysis of new biomarkers and their kinetics in connection with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and percutaneous coronary intervention
Sammanfattning : This thesis studies different biomarkers in a cohort of patients suffering from ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Örebro in 2011-2012. Blood samples were collected at three time points, at the arrival at the hospital, 1-3 days after PCI and for a smaller group of patients also 3 months after PCI. LÄS MER

The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is substantially increased in CKD patients compared with healthy individuals. LÄS MER
5. Role and therapeutic potential of non-coding RNAs in vascular remodeling and atherosclerotic plaque formation
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae remain a world leading cause of disease and death, despite recent advances in primary and secondary prevention. The silently progressive character of the disease, in combination with the influence of individual patient characteristics, makes acute events difficult to predict and prevent. LÄS MER
