  1. 21. Management of chemical risk through occupational exposure limits

    Författare :Linda Schenk; Christina Rudén; Michael Gilek; Maria Albin; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; occupational exposure limit; risk assessment; risk management; chemicals regulation; regulatory toxicology; European Union; Toxicology; Toxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) are used as an important regulatory instrument to protect workers’ health from adverse effects of chemical exposures. The OELs mirror the outcome of the risk assessment and risk management performed by the standard setting actor. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Wound Infection Following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery : Risk Factors and the Experiences of Patients

    Författare :Christine Leo Swenne; Marianne Carlsson; Christina Lindholm; Jan Borowiec; Annika Ekbom Schnell; Hans Rutberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Caring sciences; coronary artery bypass graft; surgical wound infection; infection control; risk factor; blood glucose; postoperative; Saphenous vein harvesting; wound evaluation scale; mediastinitis; psychology; quality of life; Vårdvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The primary aim was to register the incidence of surgical wound infections (SWI) in sternotomy and leg incisions and potential risk factors for SWI following coronary artery by-pass graft (CAGB) procedures. Patients’ perspectives of SWI and the subsequent treatment were also considered. Risk factors were registered for 374 patients. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Risk Factors for Stroke in Adult Men : A Population-based Study

    Författare :Bernice Wiberg; Lars Lind; Johan Sundström; Björn Zethelius; Peter Appelros; Uppsala universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : In the last decades our knowledge concerning cardiovascular risk factors has grown rapidly through results from longitudinal studies. However, despite new treatment, in Western countries coronary heart disease remains the leading cause of death and stroke is still the leading cause of severe disability. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Pro- and anticoagulant activities of factor V

    Författare :Elisabeth Thorelli; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk kemi; Clinical chemistry; activated protein C; protein S; factor VIII; factor V; procoagulant; anticoagulant; Haematology; extracellular fluids; Hematologi; extracellulära vätskor;

    Sammanfattning : Coagulation factor V (FV) is activated by thrombin through proteolytic cleavage at Arg-709, Arg-1018 and Arg-1545. Upon thrombin activation, the active form of factor V (FVa) is formed. FVa functions as a cofactor to factor Xa in the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin during coagulation. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Venous thromboembolism with special focus on genetic and potential acquired risk factors

    Författare :SIGNY SVEINSDOTTIR; Malmö Klinisk koagulationsmedicin; []
