    Sammanfattning : Background: Cushing's syndrome (CS) is caused by high cortisol secretion whereas insufficient cortisol secretion is called adrenal insufficiency (AI). Both are rare diseases with substantial diagnostic delay, and high morbidity and mortality even though effective treatment is available. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically significant arrythmia with a prevalence of approximately 3% in the general population. Less is known about the incidence of AF. In order to reduce the incidence of AF, it is of essence to identify modifiable risk factors for the disease. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Epidemiology of venous thromboembolism with focus on risk markers

    Författare :Magdalena Johansson; Lars Johansson; Marcus Lind; Jan-Håkan Jansson; Gerd Lärfars; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Venous thromboembolism; venous thrombosis; deep vein thrombosis; pulmonary embolism; incidence; risk markers; diabetes; glucose; alcohol consumption; alcohol dependence; physical activity; medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a vascular disease with an incidence of approximately 140 cases per 100,000 person-years in adults. The incidence of VTE has increased over the last decades, and more than 20% of affected individuals die in the first year after diagnosis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Biomarkers and risk of intracerebral hemorrhage : population-based studies in northern Sweden

    Sammanfattning : BackgroundIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a disease associated with a high morbidity and mortality and treatment options for the condition are limited. Even though an ICH event usually comes as a surprise to the affected individual, pathogenetic processes often have occurred before the sudden ICH event and may have preceded disease onset by years.
