Träning som medicin

Sambandet mellan fysisk aktivitet och hälsa är starkt, och det känner de flesta till. Men den allmänna kunskapen om fysisk träning är ofta diffus eller svag, och att ge goda råd för att hjälpa andra att nå sina träningsmål kan vara svårt. I denna bok finns kunskap och redskap som kan användas för att förebygga och behandla ohälsa från ett praktiskt håll baserat på den senaste vetenskapen.I Träning

Self-reported limitations in physical function are common 6 months after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

BackgroundOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors generally report good health-related quality of life, but physical aspects of health seem more affected than other domains. Limitations in physical function after surviving OHCA have received little attention.AimsTo describe physical function 6 months after OHCA and compare it with a group of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) contr

Distinctive character and added value of civil society organizations : A collaborative project within the Swedish integration system

Expectations on collaboration between public authorities and civil society organizations (CSOs) have increased in Sweden the past decades, partly due to changes in the organization of welfare services. This article investigates a collaborative project within the migrant integration policy area. It is a collaboration between the employment offices in a region of Sweden and local CSOs with the commo

Triglyceride-Glucose Index is a Risk Marker of Incident COPD Events in Women

Purpose: The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) is a marker of insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction and has the advantage of being universally available. Although recent evidence suggests the TyG index has relevance to respiratory health, there have been no prospective studies assessing its value as a biomarker for chronic lung diseases. We aim to assess the TyG index as a potential ri

Circulating Hepatocyte Growth Factor Reflects Activation of Vascular Repair in Response to Stress

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is released by stressed human vascular cells and promotes vascular cell repair responses in both autocrine and paracrine ways. Subjects with a low capacity to express HGF in response to systemic stress have an increased cardiovascular risk. Human atherosclerotic plaques with a low content of HGF have a more unstable phenotype. The present study shows that subjects wi

Elevated premature ventricular complex counts on 24-hour electrocardiogram predict incident atrial fibrillation and heart failure—A prospective population-based cohort study

BackgroundPremature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are known to predict heart failure (HF) and premature atrial contractions (PACs) are known to predict atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke. PVCs and PACs share pathophysiological mechanisms; however, the combined effects of PVCs and PACs on HF, AF, and stroke risk have not been studied.ObjectivesTo study elevated PVC counts on 24-hour electrocardiogr
