  1. 1. Physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and abdominal obesity in relation to cardiovascular disease risk : epidemiological studies

    Författare :Elin Ekblom Bak; Mai-Lis Hellénius; Björn Ekblom; David Dunstan; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Sammanfattning : Although Sweden saw a decline in death rates related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) between 1987 and 2011, it is still the most common cause of death for both women and men. Lifestyle-related factors such as inadequate physical activity (PA), poor cardiorespiratory fitness (CF), and excess body fat are all recognised as important predictors of CVD morbidity and mortality.

  3. 2. Prognosis based classification and tumor biology of uterine sarcomas

    Författare :Elin Hardell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Uterine stromal sarcomas are a heterogenous group of tumors ranging from low-grade stromal sarcomas with a relatively good survival but high risk of recurrence, to undifferentiated uterine sarcomas with a far worse prognosis. Little is known about their biology, and prognostic markers are lacking. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Intracellular pathways involved in formation and degradation of prions

    Författare :Elin Allard; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Prions cause invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases, in which a misfolded host-encoded protein appears to be the main, if not the only, component of the infectious agent. During disease, a normal cellular protein, PrPC, is converted to a disease-related isoform, PrPSc, by a post-translational process that might require auxiliary cellular cofactors. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Epiphora : impact on vision, outcome of lacrimal surgery and investigations with ultra-high-frequency ultrasound

    Författare :Elin Bohman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Epiphora is a common condition that often receives little attention. Excessive tear production creates an irregular and ever-changing ocular surface, affecting refraction and reducing vision. However, in a standard test situation the visual acuity is seldom affected, leading to the misinterpretation that epiphora is a minor problem. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Drug utilization in children with asthma : methodological approaches and practical implications

    Författare :Elin Dahlén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : There is limited research on drug utilization among children, despite them representing 20% of the total population in Europe. In the Priority Medicines report, the World Health Organization suggested that drug utilization in children is one of the priority areas in need of more attention, resources, and research. LÄS MER
