  1. 1. Cardiovascular events after acute coronary syndrome with special reference to ischemic stroke

    Författare :Anders Ulvenstam; Thomas Mooe; Bo Carlberg; Per Tornvall; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular disease; acute coronary syndrome; acute myocardial infarction; ischemic stroke; time trends; risk factors; P2Y12-receptor inhibitor; ticagrelor; major adverse cardiovascular events; revascularization; lipid-lowering therapy; Medicine; medicin; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) encompasses acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and unstable angina (UA). It is a global major cause of morbidity and mortality in both the short and long terms. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Effects of Antioxidant and Lipid Lowering Treatment on Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease : With special reference to Mixed Tocopherols and Stable Fish Oil

    Författare :Meilin Liu; Afaf Kamal-Eldin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Cardiovascular disease; Antioxidants; Tocopherols; Endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase; Superoxide dismutase; Protein kinase C; Fish oils; Fatty acids; Simvastatin; Lipoprotein; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; rättsmedicin; Forensic Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Vitamin E in food, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and lipid lowering treatment with statins have been found to decrease the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiac death. However, clinical trials revealed no beneficial effect of intake of alpha-tocopherol alone. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Effects of lipid-lowering treatment on platelet function and hemostatic mechanisms in diabetic patients : influence of chronic kidney disease and inflammatory parameters

    Författare :Tora Almquist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are both associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and the risk is even higher when they are concurrent. Both diseases are considered to be prothrombotic states with increased inflammatory activity and major disturbances in the hemostasis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Linking quantitative radiology to molecular mechanism for improved vascular disease therapy selection and follow-up

    Författare :Andrew J Buckler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: Therapeutic advancements in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease have improved the prevention of ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. However, diagnostic methods for atherosclerotic plaque phenotyping to aid individualized therapy are lacking. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Bone health and cardiovascular risk in hypopituitary patients on complete hormone replacement, including GH

    Författare :Helene Holmer; Lund Medicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sekretion; diabetologi; Endokrinologi; Craniopharyngioma; insulin tolerance test; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; cardiovascular risk; growth hormone deficiency; fracture incidence; bone mineral density; growth hormone replacement;

    Sammanfattning : Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD). Low BMD is correlated to increased fracture risk. There are no studies on fracture risk in GHD patients on GH therapy and no studies on BMD in adults with childhood onset (CO) craniopharyngioma (CP) on GH therapy. LÄS MER
