1. 26. Common risk factors associated with acute myocardial infarction: Population-based studies with a focus on gender differences

   Författare :Charlotte A Larsson; Samhällsmedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cortisol; insulin resistance; abdominal obesity; hypertension; type 2 diabetes; population-based; AMI; gender differences; physical activity; left ventricular hypertrophy;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore how the risk for AMI, and the associations between several of its risk factors, differs by gender. Information was collected from four Swedish cohorts: one patient cohort from Skara (1992-1993, n=1149) and three population-based cohorts, i.e. LÄS MER

3. 27. Aspects on chronic stress and glucose metabolism in women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis and in women with localized provoked vulvodynia

   Författare :Sophia Ehrström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis; localized provoked vulvodynia ; vulvar vestibulitis syndrome; Hypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal-axis; salivary cortisol; chronic stress; morning awakening cortisol; oral glucose tolerance testing; glucose in vaginal secretions; plasma glucose; body mass index;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: To evaluate the degree of stress in women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) and in women with localized provoked vulvodynia (LPV) (former vulvar vestibulitis syndrome) compared with controls. To measure the change of glucose in plasma and in vaginal secretions during oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) in women with RVVC, and in healthy control subjects. LÄS MER

4. 28. Unstimulated human whole saliva flow rate in relation to hyposalivation and dental caries

   Författare :Håkan Flink; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Dental caries; iron deficiency; serum ferritin; unstimulated whole saliva; resting saliva; xerostomia; dry mouth; circadian rhythm.;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: Salivary secretion is influenced by a large number of factors, including the circadian rhythm, making the detection of reduced salivary flow (hyposalivation) difficult. This is important since severely reduced salivary secretion has been associated with an increased risk for dental caries and may be a sign of a general disease, e.g. LÄS MER

5. 29. Studies on molecular and immune signatures for detection of pancreatic cancer and COVID-19

   Författare :Hassan Alkharaan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background and objectives: Etiological factors and accurate diagnostic biomarkers have remained elusive to pancreatic cancer, a disease with > 90% five-years mortality rate. The recent understanding of microbiome interaction with host organs has opened new research avenues on the potential role of microbiota in the tumor microenvironment. LÄS MER

7. 30. Studies of hyperandrogenicity and the metabolic syndrome in premenopausal women

   Författare :Fariba Baghaei; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :androgens; SHBG; HPA axis; abdominal obesity; insulin; HDL; metabolic syndrome; ovarian volume; PCOS; polymorphism; genetics; androgen receptor; estrogen receptor; aromatase;

   Sammanfattning : An androgenic sex hormone profile appears to be a typical feature of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and a powerful risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes in women. The causes of relative hyperandrogenicity (HA) are not clearly defined. LÄS MER
