   Nyckelord :Medical sciences; sudden cardiac death; orienteers; myocarditis; arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

   Sammanfattning : An accumulation of sudden unexpected cardiac deaths (SUCD) occurred in young Swedish orienteers, most of whom were elite athletes. From 1979 to 1992 the incidence in 18 to 34 year old male elite orienteers ranked on the national level the same year as death was calculated to 30 (per 100,000), which represents a 20 to 40 fold increase from the expected rate.

3. 2. Suicide in schizophrenia and adverse events during antipsychotic medication

   Författare :Eric Clapham; Robert Bodén; Johan Reutfors; Helle Kieler; Ursula Werneke; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; schizophrenia; antipsychotics; clozapine; suicide; osteoporosis; myocarditis; Psychiatry; Psykiatri;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis considers side effects and other adverse events during treatment with antipsychotic medication. All included studies use an epidemiological methodology with data from Swedish population-based health registers. The first two studies utilise a nested case-control design, whereas the third and fourth studies rely on cohort designs. LÄS MER

4. 3. Rickettsia helvetica; Detection in arthropods and human tissues and its relation to clinical disease

   Författare :Kenneth Nilsson; Björn Olsen; Uppsala universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : A relation between R. helvetica and perimyocarditis was, in two young men who died of sudden cardiac death during exercise in 1997, suggested by a seminested PCR, for three different genes, sequencing of the amplified products, documentation of a seroresponse and histopathologic changes in accordance with rickettsioses.

5. 4. Sudden infant death syndrome : a medico-legal study of related cardiovascular, toxicological and genetic findings

   Författare :Petra Råsten Almqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Cardiovascular malformation; Cotinine; Heart weight; mtDNA; Myocarditis; Nicotine; SIDS;

   Sammanfattning : The present medico-legal investigation of the deaths of infants less than one year of age was designed to enhance our understanding of the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Special emphasis was placed on the significance of cardiovascular pathology (including heart weight, malformations and myocarditis); exposure to nicotine; and mutations and/or polymorphisms in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).

7. 5. Experimental Chagas disease

   Författare :John Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Trypanosoma cruzi; NK cells; cytotoxicity; IFN-gamma; IL-12; IFN-alpha beta; Chagas disease; polymyositis; myocarditis; genotype dependence and Toll-like receptors.;

   Sammanfattning : The main focus of this thesis was to develop and utilise experimental models using the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. We were especially interested in studying the activation of NK cells early after T. cruzi infection and what factors that predispose to a chronic inflammatory disease after T. cruzi infection. LÄS MER
