   Nyckelord :Snuff; cardiovascular diseases; myocardial infarction; stroke; hypertension; case-control study; cohort study;

   Sammanfattning : The snuff consumption in Sweden has increased substantially during recent decades and today more than every fifth male adult uses snuff daily. However, the evidence on health effects from long-term use of snuff is limited, especially regarding cardiovascular diseases. LÄS MER

3. 2. Harm and harm reduction in smokeless tobacco users. An in vitro and clinical study

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cessation; nicotine replacement; smokeless tobacco; immunotoxicity; oral mucosa; snuff; reversibility; Langerhans cells; rat oral epithelium; nicotine;

   Sammanfattning : Background: This thesis describes the effects of smokeless tobacco (ST) and its derivatives on the oral mucosa; the development of, and results of applying a cessation program for snuff users with long and extensive exposure; and the persistent clinical and histomorphological changes after cessation. Methods: Three of the studies were open prospective non-randomized clinical intervention trials using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) of either 4 mg nicotine chewing gum or 2 mg nicotine lozenges.

5. 4. Studies on arterial endothelial function and intima-media thickness using ultrasound technique

   Författare :Morteza Rohani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Ultrasound; atherosclerosis; flow mediated dilatation; endothelial function; carotid arteries; thoracic aorta; brachial artery; coronary artery disease; nicotine; snuff; prednisolone; rheumatoid arthritis;

   Sammanfattning : Background: The development of ultrasonographic arterial imaging, high-resolution B-mode ultrasonography, has created a technical basis for a new diagnostic approach to atherosclerotic disease by offering the possibility of accurate and reproducible quantification of the structural and functional changes in the arterial wall. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) have been shown to be good surrogate markers of atherosclerosis. LÄS MER

7. 5. Risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis : epidemiological studies of perinatal characteristics, infections and the inflammatory reflex

   Författare :Cecilia Carlens; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is characterised by symmetric polyarthritis leading to progressive joint destruction. The aim of this thesis was to contribute to better knowledge of the etiology of RA by investigating the importance of the inflammatory reflex, childhood infections and early life exposures as risk factors for RA, based on four epidemiological studies.
