21. Implications of brief episodes of atrial fibrillation (micro-AF)
Sammanfattning : INTRODUCTION: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically relevant arrhythmia. It is diagnosed using an electrocardiogram (ECG) and defined as an irregular heart rhythm without p-waves lasting for at least 30 seconds. This 30-second time criterion is based solely on expert consensus. LÄS MER

24. Effects of Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Ketogenic Diet on Quality of Life and Changes in EEG and Sleep
Sammanfattning : When anti-epileptic drugs fail, and epilepsy surgery is found unfeasible or ineffective, there remains a group of at least 25% of children with epilepsy in whom seizure control cannot be achieved. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive treatment for medically refractory epilepsy. LÄS MER
25. 5-Lipoxygenase : studies on the active site iron, and on the stimulatory factors Ca2+ and ATP
Sammanfattning : Human 5-lipoxygenase (5LO) is a monomeric non-heme iron enzyme, which catalyses the first two steps in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes: oxygenation of arachidonic acid to yield 5(S)-hydroperoxy-6-trans-8,11,14-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE) and the subsequent dehydration to form the unstable epoxide intermediate 5(S)-trans-5,6-oxido7,9-trans-11,14-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid. The latter compound (leukotriene A4), is the precursor of the biologically active leukotrienes B4, C4, D4 and E4, which are regarded as critical mediators in asthma and other inflammatory and allergic disorders.
