  1. 16. Genetic analysis of ischemic stroke and predisposing carotid artery stenosis : a stroke carol

    Författare :Konstantinos Kostulas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD), consisting of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIA), is a complex disease where contribution from both the environment and genes promote pathogenesis of the disease-complex. Carotid stenosis is sometimes a predisposing factor or cause for ICVD and a complex disease in itself. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Vascular ultrasound for the assessment of carotid atherosclerosis

    Författare :Davide Vanoli; Per Lindqvist; Christine Kremer; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ultrasound; Plaque; IMT; Atherosclerosis; CEUS; Carotid vessels; cardiovascular disease; hjärt- och kärlforskning;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common cause for mortality globally, and is expected to remain the single leading cause of death as the global population ages and as life expectancy increases.Cardiovascular screening models have been developed, and continue to be developed, to identify individuals at high-risk of CVD.

  4. 18. Effect of Ischaemia-Reperfusion on Rabbit Kidney and Human Brain

    Författare :Jagdish Shivlal Gondalia; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Free radicals; ischaemia-reperfusion; cell bioenergetics; NMR; ESR; carotid artery stenosis; endarterectomy; allopurinol; acetylcysteine; MMP-1; ICAM-1; MCP-9; oxLDL;

    Sammanfattning : Free radicals are produced in various organs at ischaemia-reperfusion. The final stage in radical damage is lipid peroxidation. We have demonstrated previously that a lipid-soluble antioxidant improves restoration of bioenergetics in rabbit kidneys after ischaemia, as reflected in 31P spectrometry. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Timely treatment in stroke and TIA

    Författare :Annika Nordanstig; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; transient ischemic attack; campaign; carotid artery stenosis;

    Sammanfattning : In acute stroke, the effect of both acute treatments and secondary prevention is timedependent. Patients´ delay is an important obstacle to acute recanalization therapy for stroke. To decrease this delay, a stroke educational campaign was carried out in Sweden. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Pathways linking atherosclerosis to aortic stenosis

    Författare :Oscar Plunde; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death world-wide where atherosclerosis is the main culprit and aortic valve disease accounts about two percent of all CVD deaths. Atherosclerosis is a lipid and inflammation driven disease that share many features with aortic valve stenosis (AVS). LÄS MER
