    Författare :Claes Ladenvall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :stroke; ischemic stroke subtypes; subarachnoid hemorrhage; genetics; polymorphism; fibrinolysis; tPA; PAI-1; TAFI; CRP; Factor XIII;

    Sammanfattning : Stroke is the third most common cause of death and the most common cause of disability in adults in developed countries. It is a complex disease in which genetic and environmental factors make about equal contributions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Strategies for postoperative adhesion control

    Författare :Kristina Falk; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adhesion formation; adhesion prevention; experimental model; mouse; human; fibrinolysis; bioadhesion; cellulose; hydrophobic modification; t-PA; PAI-1; proCPU; TAFI;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Abdominal surgery almost inevitably leads to adhesion formation, which often results in substantial morbidity. The formation of postsurgical adhesions seems to be determined by the balance of fibrin deposition and degradation in an early phase of peritoneal tissue repair. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) in different hemorrhagic and thrombotic conditions

    Författare :Jovan P Antovic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor TAFI ; coagulation; fibrinolysis; thrombin; plasmin; factor V Leiden; hemophilia; von Willebrand disease; diabetes mellitus; preeclampsia;

    Sammanfattning : Until recently the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems were usually considered as separate entities. Accounts of a fibrinolysis inhibitor that is generated by thrombin shed more light on this field and changed the concept by giving thrombin, the pivotal enzyme in hemostasis, another important role in the down-regulation of fibrinolysis.

  5. 4. On the induction of inflammatory reactions by Streptococcus pyogenes

    Författare :Lisa Påhlman; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; virology; bacteriology; Microbiology; Streptococcal collagen-like surface protein; M protein; Inflammation; Streptococcus pyogenes;

    Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pyogenes is an important human pathogen that causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. In order to successfully infect the human host, S. pyogenes is equipped with tools that modulate the human immune defence. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Thrombotic and cardiac disease in the antiphospholipid syndrome

    Författare :Giorgia Grosso; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a highly heterogeneous disease that presents with obstetric complications and/or thromboembolic events that can hit any side of the vascular tree in an unpredictable way. The common trait among all patients affected by the syndrome is the persistent presence of the antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and/or a prolonged coagulation time in vitro, the lupus anticoagulant (LA) test.
