  1. 1. Living with osteogenesis imperfecta

    Författare :Veronica Balkefors; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder with fragility of the bones as the dominant symptom. There is no cure for OI, but symptoms are treated with medical, orthopaedic and physiotherapy methods. The disease group is very heterogeneous and knowledge about adults living with the milder forms, type I or IV is limited. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The bicuspid aortic valve : studies on valve morphology and pathology in relation to ascending aortic dilatation and coronary artery disease

    Författare :Veronica Jackson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The prevalence of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is 1-2% and is thereby the most common cardiac malformation. BAV is highly associated with valvular dysfunction and aortic conditions such as ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection. Of BAV individuals, 25-50% will develop indications for surgical intervention. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Studies on the regulation of human skeletal muscle lipolysis in vivo

    Författare :Veronica Quisth; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Intramuscular triglycerides; skeletal muscle; lipolysis; insulin; catecholamines; microdialysis;

    Sammanfattning : Intramuscular triglyceride deposits are a significant energy source, and are considered to be of importance in the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle insulin resistance. In contrast to adipose tissue, the lipolytic process in skeletal muscle is not well characterised. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Neonatal respiratory control : inspiration, inflammation and the prostaglandin E2 pathway

    Författare :Veronica Siljehav; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Immature or deficient autonomic control is a common problem in infants born at a premature age, and is of central importance in apneas. The pre- and perinatal development of the brainstem neural circuits that control autonomic functions is vital for survival after birth and for the regulation of breathing movements. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The use of a prehospital decision system in the emergency medical service : the acute chain for geriatric patients

    Författare :Veronica Vicente; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The objective of this organisational study was to create and evaluate, for use by the prehospital emergency nurse (PEN), a Prehospital Decision System (PDS) and a decision support tool (DST), to safely steer geriatric patients to optimal healthcare in Stockholm, Sweden. Aim: The overall aim was to optimise the acute emergency chain to ensure that elderly persons ended up at the optimal healthcare based on their medical needs. LÄS MER
