  1. 1. An epidemiological perspective on heart and lung weight in cardiac and intoxication deaths

    Författare :Torfinn Beer; Carl Johan Wingren; Anders Eriksson; Britt-Marie Stålnacke; Kimberly Molina; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heart weight; lung weight; organ weight; autopsy; forensic pathology; Bayesian analysis; cardiac hypertrophy; fatal intoxication; Forensic Medicine; rättsmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : The main purpose of a medico-legal autopsy is to determine the cause and manner of death. A forensic pathologist makes assessments of this using several sources of information, one of which is the discrepancy between measured organ weight and reference values. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Imagination, form, movement and sound. Studies in musical improvisation

    Författare :Svein Erik Tandberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Aesthetic; artistic research; chronology versus phenomenology; cognitive models; cross-modality; imitation; improvisation; motor programmes; organ; organ textbooks; procedural knowledge; Protestant practices; Roman Catholic practices; schemas; style; Johann Sebastian Bach; Anton Bruckner; Marcel Dupre; Rolande Falcinelli; Cesar Franck; Johann Georg Herzog; Hermann Keller; Olivier Latry; Conrad Paumann; Max Reger; Heinz Wunderlich; Ruth Zechlin;

    Sammanfattning : How does one improvise? How can one learn the art of improvisation? By consid - ering these two questions this thesis aspires to make a contribution towards a greater understanding of what the production of improvised music actually involves. The organ has long traditions as an instrument on which music is improvised, and this study aims to focus primarily on organ improvisation. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Adipose tissue as an active organ : blood flow regulation and tissue-specific glucocorticoid metabolism

    Författare :Jonas Andersson; Tommy Olsson; Stefan Söderberg; Sverker Jern; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1; adipose tissue; autonomic nervous system; blood flow; cortisol; nitric oxide; weight loss.; medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Despite advances in the treatment of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. With the population getting older and more obese, the burden of cardiovascular disease may further increase. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Early life influences on adult organ function, health and disease, including data from Swedish population-based cohorts

    Författare :Shantanu Sharma; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; EPIDEMIOLOGY; Preconception care; Cardiovascular biomarkers; birth weight; gestational age; neoplasms; lipoprotein; prenatal care; pulse wave analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Prenatal insults or adverse events during the in-utero period may lead to suboptimal function of adult organs because of the impairment of critical organ development and growth, as linked to lower birth weight. This may ultimately predispose the individual to the later onset of some diseases in adulthood, a process known as Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Characterization of adipose factors regulated by body weight

    Författare :Niklas Mejhert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : White adipose tissue (WAT) constitutes our most expandable tissue and largest endocrine organ secreting hundreds of polypeptides collectively termed adipokines. Changes in WAT mass induce alterations in adipocyte secretion and function, which are linked to disturbed whole-body metabolism. LÄS MER
