    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; autoimmune; celiac disease; cohort; dilated cardiomyopathy; inflammation; myocardial infarction; registry; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated enteropathy induced by dietary gluten that affects about 1% of western populations. CD has been associated to an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality in some studies; however associations to cardiovascular diseases have not been broadly researched. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : The prevalence of coeliac disease (CD) was initially estimated to 1/1537. Based on serial analysis [GA and endomysial antibodies (EMA)], the prevalence was 6/1970 (0.30%). In autoimmune chronic hepatitis 5. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Genetic linkage and association studies in celiac disease: discoveries from whole genome analysis

    Författare :Svetlana Adamovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Celiac Disease; genome-wide scan; linkage; association; GWAS; complex disease; autoimmune; 5q31-33; HLA; IL2 IL21;

    Sammanfattning : Celiac Disease (CD) or Gluten Sensitive Enteropathy (GSE) is a life-long disorder. It is characterized by inflammation in the small intestine of genetically predisposed individuals caused by inappropriate immune response to gluten, a protein enriched in some of our common grains (wheat, rye and barley).

  5. 9. Clinical and experimental studies of organ-specific autoimmune diseases : With special reference to Addison's disease and autoimmune hepatitis : by Gennet Gebre-Medhin

    Författare :Gennet Gebre-Medhin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Addison s Disease; replacement therapy; DHEA; autoimmune hepatitis; APS I; autoantigen; cytochrome P4501A2; aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Organ-specific autoimmunity constitutes a large health problem, where both the clinical management and our understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms need to improve. Women with Addison's disease have abnormally low levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), its sulphate ester (DHEA-S) and androgens relative to age, and many patients complain of physical and mental fatigue and low stress tolerance.

  7. 10. Clinical and genetical aspects of Celiac Disease

    Författare :Audur Gudjonsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; celiac disease; sib-pair; screening; genome-wide scan; linkage analysis; heritability; genotypes; DQ2-negative; phenotypes; autoimmune disease;

    Sammanfattning : Celiac disease (CD), or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood but is diagnosed in all ages. CD is a genetically driven immunological intolerance to dietary gluten. Th e treatment is a gluten-free diet. LÄS MER
