1. Cellular electrophysiological modulation in chronic atrial fibrillation - Studies with magnesium and GIK solution
Sammanfattning : Although chronic atrial fibrillation (CAF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in man, the mechanisms involved in its progressive course are still not fully understood. Recent studies have verified an electrical remodelling of the atrial myocardium that may be responsible for the electrophysiological disturbances known to exist in the fibrillating atria. LÄS MER
2. Gastrointestinal disturbances in hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis
Sammanfattning : BackgroundTransthyretin amyloid (ATTR) amyloidosis is a systemic disorder caused by amyloid deposits formed by misfolded transthyretin (TTR) monomers. Two main forms exist – wild-type and hereditary ATTR amyloidosis, the latter associated with TTR gene mutations. LÄS MER
3. Pregnancy—A Critical Time for Mental Health : Interrogating Psychiatry with Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis and Autonomic Nervous System Biomarkers
Sammanfattning : Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are common and impact the parent and child beyond the perinatal period of pregnancy and postpartum. The aim of this thesis was to study biomarkers that might reflect perinatal mental health. LÄS MER
4. Heart and lung function - in health and disease : methodological studies in clinical physiology
Sammanfattning : The human heart and lungs constitute an intricate and dynamic system. Various clinical physiological examinations can be used to evaluate cardio-pulmonary function and identify abnormalities. Thus, it is important to understand how normal physiology presents, to be able to identify pathological findings. LÄS MER
5. Heart Rate Variability in Stress-related Fatigue, Adolescent Anxiety and Depression and its Connection to Lifestyle
Sammanfattning : Heart rate varies constantly as a consequence of activity in the sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic nervous systems (SNS and PNS). In short-term recordings, heart rate variability (HRV) is mostly related to the inhibitory activity of the vagal nerves, which are part of the PNS. LÄS MER
