Blood Pressure Elevation - Impact on Cardiovascular Structure and Endogenous Fibrinolysis
(2008-05-16)
Blood pressure elevation is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events and the risk increases in a dose-dependant manner. It is of importance to identify subjects prone to develop hypertension and adverse cardiovascular ...
Children with symptomatic urinary tract infection in Göteborg 1970-79 followed for two decades

Genes implicated in the development of obesity and obesity-related disease
(2001)
Obesity is a major health problem because of its dramatic increase in prevalence and the association of obesity with type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension and stroke. Although mutations in certain genes ...
Cardiovascular effects of growth hormone. Studies in genetically engineered mice
(2004)
The general aim of this thesis was to enhance the understanding on the relationships between growth hormone (GH) and cardiovascular disease using genetically engineered mice. More specifically the effects of GH on blood ...
Obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular morbidity
(2000)
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects 24 % of middle-aged men and 9 % of women in USA but the treatment criterion, daytime sleepiness is reported by 17 and 22 % of these subjects, respectively. Some previous studies have ...
Cardiovascular risk factors and peripheral vascular function in lung transplant recipients
(2005)
Objective: Cardiovascular disease is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality after organ transplantation. Development of cardiovascular risk factors, like hypertension, is common after transplantation. The mechanism ...
Effects of prenatal IL-6 exposure and hyperinsulinemia on neuroendocrine regulation
(2005)
Prenatal exposure to infection is associated with several neuroendocrine disorders. We therefore wanted to elucidate if cytokines, generated in response to maternal infection, play a key mechanistic role in this associations. ...
