Crossing borders: the role of the endothelial glycocalyx
and intravascular haemostasis in vascular complications
of diabetes mellitus
The endothelial glycocalyx is a potential target for the prevention of vascular damage in diabetes (this thesis)
The damage to the endothelial glycocalyx in type 2 diabetes is reversible (this thesis) Mildly elevated glucose levels are a trigger for the activation of the coagulation system (this thesis)
Type 2 diabetes leads to an impairment in the fibrinolytic system, which can be reversed by improving glycaemic control (this thesis)
The failure of aspirin as a primary prevention drug for cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes is not caused by a decreased antiplatelet effect, provided doses of 100 mg or above are used (this thesis)
Ex vivo platelet testing may be influenced by the choice of anticoagulant (this thesis) Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts (Albert Einstein)
The greater the financial and other interests and prejudices in a scientific field, the less likely the research findings are to be true (John Ioannidis)
Everyone thinks of changing the world, no one thinks of changing himself (Leo
Tolstoy)
