1. 11. Atherosclerosis in middle-aged men. A prospective study with focus on factors related to the metabolic syndrome

   Författare :Karin Wallenfeldt; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :apolipoproteins; atherosclerosis; C-reactive protein; insulin resistance; intima-media thickness; LDL cholesterol; longitudinal study; metabolic syndrome X; smokeless tobacco; ultrasonography;

   Sammanfattning : The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of cardiovascular disease CVD) risk factors. Pro-spective studies have demonstrated that patients with MetS are about three times more likely to experience CVD events than those without MetS. Up to one third of the adult population seems to be affected worldwide. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Background: Radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease predominantly affecting the axial skeleton. The global prevalence of r-axSpA is between 0.1-1.4%. LÄS MER

4. 13. Atherosclerosis and Insulin Resistance AIR A cross-sectional study of 58-year old men

   Författare :Lena Bokemark; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Insulin resistance; intima-media thickness; LDL particle size; atherosclerosis.;

   Sammanfattning : The main aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that insulin resistance is associated with atherosclerotic disease in the carotid and femoral arteries as measured using the ultrasound technique in clinically healthy 58-year old men with varying degrees of obesity and insulin resistance. The subjects were recruited from the general population and were free from clinical cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and treatment with antihypertensive, lipid-lowering and anti-diabetic drugs (n=818).

5. 14. On the Use of Ultrasound Phase Data for Arterial Characterization

   Författare :Tobias Erlöv; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Atherosclerosis; Ultrasound; Carotid Artery; Plaque Characterization; Scatter Size; Longitudinal Movement; Intima-Media Thickness;

   Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is one of the major causes of death in the world. It is an inflammatory disease in the arteries which causes a gradual increase in arterial wall thickness and stiffness. Eventually a plaque could be formed, protruding into the artery and partially occluding the blood flow. LÄS MER

7. 15. Arterial stiffness and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in young adults

   Författare :Ulrika Fernberg; Anita Hurtig-Wennlöf; Maria Fernström; Bo Fernhall; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular disease; atherosclerosis; arterial stiffness; pulse wave analysis; intima media thickness; cardiorespiratory fitness; physical activity; body composition; young adults;

   Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a complex, chronic vessel wall disease that often leads to severe and acute cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as myocardial infarction and stroke. CVD are the most common cause of death, both globally and in Sweden. LÄS MER
