Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid omhändertagande av patienter med snarkning och obstruktionsproblematik är det viktigt att beakta alla grader av andningsstörning. Nuvarande utredningsmetoder är väl lämpade för att diagnostisera avancerade sjukdomstillstånd präglade av andningsuppehåll under sömnen (apnéer) men har svårare att identifiera patienter vilkas andnings- och sömnstörning är mindre uttaladSleep-related partial upper airway obstruction may cause increased morbidity and mortality, but diagnosis and treatment of patients is varying and inconsistent. The present studies were aimed to evaluate presently applied indirect methods for assessing respiratory ventilation and to investigate the value and accuracy in estimating upper airway resistance during sleep by measuring intrathoracic pre

Cystatin C-varianten som uppkommer deponeras som olösligt material (amyloid) i blodkärlens väggar och leder till att dessa ofta brister före 40-årsåldern med hjärnblödning som fHereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy (HCCAA) is a disorder characterised by multiple strokes in young adults, resulting in paralysis and dementia. The disease is caused by a mutation in the gene coding for the peptidase inhibitor cystatin C. The mutation causes an amino acid substitution Leu68 -> Gln in cystatin C (L68Q cystatin C) which results in deposition of the protein in the blood vessel
