   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; depression; anxiety; suicide; renin; aldosterone; inflammation; exercise;

   Sammanfattning : A number of biological systems have been studied in the past in an attempt to find the underlying cause of anxiety and depression. The main aim of the work described in this thesis was to investigate the importance of inflammation and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in relation to anxiety and depression. LÄS MER

3. 2. Primary Aldosteronism Screening and Diagnosis in Primary Health Care

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hypertension; primary health care; aldosterone; primary aldosteronism; fludrocortisone; aldosterone to renin ratio; renin; captopril;

   Sammanfattning : Arterial hypertension is a very common disorder. In most cases the cause is unknown and therefore classified as essential or primary hypertension. Primary aldosteronism (PA), characterized by an inappropriate aldosterone secretion, has traditionally been estimated to account for approximately 1 % of all hypertensive cases. LÄS MER

4. 3. Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme : Effects of Smoking and Other Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Diseases

   Författare :Liza Ljungberg; Karin Persson; Rolf Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of death in Western countries. Smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia are considered as major risk factors. However, the underlying mechanisms by which these factors cause CVDs are not entirely clear.

   Författare :Ingrid Persson; Rolf G.G. Andersson; Lars Bohlin; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : Diet has for many years been known to play a key role in the development of chronic diseases. There are clear associations between consumption of vegetables, fruits and berries, and risk of cardiovascular diseases, the number one cause of death in the world. LÄS MER

7. 5. Children with symptomatic urinary tract infection in Göteborg 1970-79 followed for two decades

   Författare :Martin Wennerström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urinary tract infection; vesicoureteral reflux; renal scarring; children; adults; renal function; hypertension; ambulatory blood pressure; atrial natriuretic peptide;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: To study a populationbased cohort of subjects, detected after their first known urinary tract infection (UTI) with special focus on: the natural course of vesicoureteral reflux; the prevalence of renal scarring, age at detection and factors of importance for its development; the long term risk of impaired renal function and hypertension. Methods: Analyses of data, prospectively registered during childhood, and an adulthood follow-up investigation evaluating renal function by 51Cr-EDTA clearance and blood pressure by 24-hour ambulatory technique.
