Brain-Gut Interactions in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
(2018-12-04)Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder of gut-brain interaction defined by recurrent and longstanding abdominal pain and disturbed bowel habits. This thesis aims to deepen the knowledge about aberrant visceral ... -
Cadmium, kidney and bone
(2015-11-11)Toxic heavy metals, such as cadmium, mercury and lead, occur in the environment both naturally and as contaminants due to agricultural and industrial activities. The aims of this thesis were to examine the levels of these ... -
Cancer in organ transplant recipients
(2021-08-27)Tens of thousands of transplantations are performed around the world each year. Organ transplant recipients (OTR) are obliged to receive life-long medical treatment with immunosuppressive drugs to ensure graft function. ... -
Carbonic anhydrase activity in sleep apnea - a potential therapeutic mechanism for intervention
(2016-11-30)There is no pharmacological treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in clinical practice. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme activity on sleep apnea severity ... -
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 outside and inside hospital from a 30 year perspective in the Municipality of Gothenburg
(2011-11-09)Aims: 1:To describe the epidemiology of both out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in the Municipality of Gothenburg. 2:To describe the differences and similarities in cardiac ... -
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 ... -
Cardiac lipids and their role in the diseased heart
(2019-11-13)Lipids play an essential role within the heart as they are involved in energy storage, membrane stability and signaling. Changes in cardiac lipid composition and utilization may thus have profound effects on cardiac ... -
Cardiac surgery and antiplatelet therapy
(2017-03-08)Background Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and a P2Y12 inhibitor improves outcome in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In the subset of ACS patients undergoing urgent cardiac surgery, ongoing ... -
Cardiopulmonary bypass: Clinical studies in cardiac surgery patients
(2022-11-01)BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is necessary to facilitate most cardiac operations. Although the vast majority of patients tolerate CPB physiology in conjunction with cardiac surgery well, there is risks of adverse ... -
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Sweden - yesterday, today and tomorrow
(2013-05-21)In Sweden, the reported incidence and outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary between counties. In the mid -1980s, a national programme in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was developed and rescuers have ... -
Cardiovascular and metabolic control in obese children and adolescents
(2008-05-23)Childhood obesity is an emerging risk factor for disease and mortality worldwide. The cardiovascular consequences and prevention thereof need to be further investigated. Exercise and weight loss are well examined and ... -
Cardiovascular and pulmonary health effects of air pollution - long term effects in Sweden and effects of wood smoke
(2016-02-24)Exposure to air pollution is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Main suggested mechanisms are airway and systemic inflammation, affecting hemostasis in the short ... -
Cardiovascular disease in patients with congenital heart disease
(2020-04-23)Background: Today, about 95% of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) survive into adulthood and the survival in patients with CHD has increased considerably during the last decades. With increasing age, patients ... -
Cardiovascular health promotion among Nepalese mothers with young children: Need assessment, development, implementation, and impact of the HARDIC trial
(2018-06-07)Background Nutritional transition toward a high-fat and high-energy diet, decreasing physical activity level, and poor knowledge about cardiovascular health contribute to a rising burden of cardiovascular disease in ... -
Cardiovascular morbidity and metabolic signature in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2021-09-09)Background and objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease with excess risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The treatment of RA by anti-inflammatory drugs has dramatically ... -
Cardiovascular outcomes and extra-articular manifestations in patients with spondyloarthritis
(2020-02-27)Background: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a cluster of rheumatic diseases with similar clinical features, including association with extra-articular manifestations such as anterior uveitis (AU), inflammatory bowel disease ...
