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 ...
Obesity in diabetes. Cardiovascular outcomes and risk factor trajectories
(2021-03-23)
Introduction: The association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality in diabetes
is complex and sparsely investigated for cardiovascular (CVD) outcomes. We aimed to
investigate these relationships among patients ...
Learning aspects of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and learning activities in basic life support - a study among laypersons at workplaces in Sweden
(2021-01-29)
Abstract
Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Despite healthcare improvements, prevention for cardiovascular health, training in adult basic life support (BLS) ...
Heart Failure and Aortic Stenosis - Factors Influencing Prognosis and Development
(2021-04-27)
Background: An ageing population increases the prevalence of heart failure (HF) and aortic stenosis (AS). Several studies have investigated prognosis and predictors of HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) compared ...
Patient Assessment and Triage in Emergency Medical Services - The Swedish EMS nurse in a new role
(2021-03-16)
Abstract
Background: Pre-hospital care is highly complex care where the emergency medical services (EMS) nurse
assesses patients in an unselected patient population. The increased demand for EMS resources, which ...
Mechanisms underlying inflammation, symptoms and quality of life in ulcerative colitis
(2021-10-06)
A substantial proportion of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) in remission demonstrate gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, despite the absence of ongoing inflammation in the colon. The underlying mechanisms of these symptoms ...
Neutrophil Function and Signaling Induced by Ligands for the Formyl Peptide Receptor 2
(2021-02-15)
Neutrophil pattern recognition receptors belonging to the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family play a role in the processes of initiation as well as resolution of inflammatory processes. Formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) ...
Diabetes and hypertension - entangled chronic conditions in primary care. Time trends and determinants for mortality and cardiovascular complications.
(2021-03-23)
Diabetes and hypertension are chronic, often coexisting conditions with increased risk of premature death and cardiovascular complications. This thesis aimed to study different epidemiological aspects regarding risk of ...
Intestinal transplantation: Outcome, complications and diagnostic approach
(2021-05-27)
Background: Intestinal transplantation is a potentially lifesaving procedure conducted in candidates with e.g. intestinal failure. However, a limiting factor has been the complications, which are inherent to the procedure, ...
Adaptation of ventricular repolarization to heart rate change in humans
(2021-10-01)
Background: Life-threatening cardiac rhythm disturbances and sudden death are common manifestations of heart disease. Disturbances in electrical recovery (ventricular repolarization; VR) are important mechanisms behind ...
