6. Familial occurrence of abdominal aortic aneurysms
Sammanfattning : The occurrence of clinically diagnosed and/or ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in the families of 220 patients with AAAs, treated at the Surgical Clinic, University Hospital of Umeå in the northern part of Sweden during the years 1965-82, was studied. A questionnaire concerning the blood relatives was answered by 87/89 patients. LÄS MER
7. Evaluation of surgical methods for sleep apnea and snoring
Sammanfattning : Background: Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are both common disorders with a number of negative health effects. The safety and efficacy of treating snoring and OSA surgically have been questioned and there has been a lack of studies in the field. LÄS MER
8. Role of intermediate filament desmin in development of desmin-related myopathy
Sammanfattning : Desmin is a major intermediate filament of muscle cells, serving to transmit mechanical forces and propagate mechanochemical signals, to coordinate contraction and relaxation cycles, and to stabilize the positioning of cellular organelles, e.g. mitochondria. LÄS MER
9. Genetic and pathophysiological study of desmin derangements in cardiac disorders
Sammanfattning : Desmin is a chief intermediate filament of skeletal and cardiac muscle. Its main function is to provide structural and functional integrity to the cell and to transmit tension along the myofibrils, protecting them from mechanical stress during contractionrelaxation process. LÄS MER
10. Nestin : filament formation and expression in myogenesis and muscle disorders
Sammanfattning : Intermediate filaments (IF), together with microfilaments and microtubules, are the major components of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells. In myogenic cells three IF proteins are expressed; desmin, vimentin and nestin. LÄS MER
