(2013-09-27)Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and coronaviruses (CoVs) are frequent causes of respiratory disease in humans. RSV can cause severe bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants, especially in those born prematurely or with ... -
Candidate biomarkers for synaptic pathology: neurogranin, neuroligins and neurexins in neurodegenerative disorders
(2021-05-14)Synapses are small units through which neurons communicate in the brain. They represent the site of memory formation and cognitive abilities and are thus primarily affected by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s ... -

Cardiac abnormalities in chronic kidney disease
(2019-11-06)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem associated with increased risk of mortality and development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality ... -
Cardiac arrest - an epidemiologic perspective on pharmacotherapy and post resuscitation care
(2021-09-13)Background: Despite significant research and progress, cardiac arrest remains a condition with a high mortality rate, and few interventions have been demonstrated to improve outcomes in this patient group. Despite incorporation ... -
Cardiac arrest outside and inside hospital from a 30 year perspective in the Municipality of Gothenburg

Cardiac arrest with emphasis on comorbidity and choice of treatment in acute coronary syndrome in the elderly
(2020-05-07)Background and aim: More data is required on survival and neurological outcome after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in the elderly. The influence of comorbidity is often neglected in cardiac arrest research, particularly ... -
Cardiac lipid storage and metabolism following myocardial ischemia
(2015-05-21)Myocardial ischemia is associated with cellular- and metabolic adjustments within the heart, including accumulation of lipids. Myocardial lipids are stored in cytosolic droplets, consisting of a core of neutral lipids ... -
