1. Angiotensin II receptor blockers and acute pancreatitis
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis is a disease with potentially lethal consequences. The hormone angiotensin II inhibits the protective mucosa alkaline secretion in the duodenum via the angiotensin II type 1 receptor. A local pancreatic renin-angiotensin system affects enzyme secretion and inflammatory response in the pancreas. LÄS MER
2. Carotid stenosis: aspects on progression, stabilization and follow-up
Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular (CV) atherosclerotic diseases are the leading cause of death in Western nations. The presence of a carotid plaque, the degree of carotid stenosis as well as the rate of progression of carotid disease has been shown to be independent predictive factors for future ischemic events.

3. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and cardioprotection. A study with microdialysis in a porcine model
Sammanfattning : The studies in this thesis are based on questions raised in the clinical setting. Perioperative myocardial ischemia occurs more often than recognized. This may lead to myocardial infarction, increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. LÄS MER
4. Stress susceptibility, beta-blocker use and cancer survival
Sammanfattning : Accumulating evidence suggests that chronic stress may influence tumour biology through activation of neuroendocrine pathways and thus impair survival. However, measuring stressful exposures and their influence on health is challenging, partly due to substantial inter-individual variation in stress susceptibility. LÄS MER
5. Molecular And Cellular Networks in Critical Illness Associated Muscle Weakness : Skeletal Muscle Proteostasis in the Intensive Care Unit
Sammanfattning : Critical illness associated muscle weakness and muscle dysfunction in intensive care unit (ICU) patients lead to severe morbidity and mortality as well as significant adverse effect on quality of life. Immobilization, mechanical ventilation, neuromuscular blocking agents, corticosteroids, and sepsis have been implicated as important risk factors, but the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms remain unclear.
