Despite diagnostic improvements, the diagnosis of PE is still associated with many difficulties, as the symptoms of an acute PE are nonspecific. LÄS MER
2. Inflammation and cortisol response in coronary artery disease
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is characterized by a chronic inflammation, involving autoimmune components, in the arterial wall. An increase in proinflammatory activity relative to anti-inflammatory activity is considered to cause a progression of the disease towards plaque instability and risk of atherothrombotic events, such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

3. Childhood Body Mass Index and Pubertal Timing - Changes over time and associations with adult cardiovascular mortality
Sammanfattning : Puberty in boys has long been an under-investigated area of research mainly due to the lack of an easily available pubertal marker, corresponding to menarche for girls. Using a unique, large, population-based cohort, this thesis targets some of the knowledge gaps regarding puberty and BMI change during puberty in boys. LÄS MER

The immune system is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis as well as post-MI cardiac injury. LÄS MER
