- Medical, social and ADL variables were registered within 48 hours of stroke onset and 6 and 12 months later in 346 first-ever stroke patients. One year after stroke onset 27% of the patients were dead. 78% of the surviving patients were living in their own homes, 10.6% in old people's homes with no medical facilities and 9.5% in nursing homes. A health index was used for ADL evaluation and the quality of life was estimated according to Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). 16% of the patients had domestic social service assistance before stroke onset. The help given by relatives and friends far exceeded that given by the society before as well as after stroke onset. Right hemispheric stroke patients had a worse outcome than left-sided with respect to ADL and life satisfaction.

Serum lipids and lipoproteins in relation to restenosis after coronary angioplasty.

- Restenosis after coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a major problem, limiting the long-term efficacy of the procedure. Lipoprotein levels are associated with the development of atherosclerosis and may also be associated with restenosis. In this study the serum levels of cholesterol (CH), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) were analysed in 157 patients undergoing 161 PTCA procedures. Follow-up coronary angiograms were performed after 6.0 +/- 4.3 months. The restenosis rate was 33%. Treatment with aspirin and a residual stenosis of 25-49% immediately after successful PTCA were the only variables associated with restenosis (P less than 0.05), otherwise the clinical and angiographic characteristics were similar with and without restenosis. There was no relationship between restenosis and the levels of CH, TG, HDL or LDL (P greater than 0.05). In univariate and multivariate analysis of males (n = 121) and females (n = 40) separately, restenosis was associated with low HDL in men and high HDL in women (P less than 0.05), but not with CH, TG or LDL (P greater than 0.05). We conclude that the serum levels of CH, TG and LDL do not seem to be related to restenosis after PTCA. It is suggested that low HDL in males and high HDL in females is related to restenosis.

Significance of Pressor Input from the Human Feet in Lateral Postural Control. The Effect of Hypothermia on Galvanically Induced Body-Sway
- 1990

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The significance to human postural control of pressor information from the feet was investigated during vestibular disturbance in seven normal subjects who were exposed to bipolar biaural galvanic stimulation of the vestibular nerves before and after their feet were anaesthetized with hypothermia. The increase in body sway in the lateral plane induced by the galvanic stimulus was enhanced when the feet were anaesthetized, and adaptation of postural control to the galvanic stimulus was delayed. It is concluded that pressor information from the feet contributes significantly to postural control in humans and is important in compensating for vestibular disturbance.
