  1. 1. Abdominal aortic aneurysm inception and evolution - A computational model

    Författare :Andrii Grytsan; T. Christian Gasser; Martin Kroon; Frans N. van de Vosse; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aorta; Aneurysm; AAA; Blood Flow; Wall Shear Stress; Growth and Remodeling; Mixture Model; Growth Kinematics; Fluid-Solid-Growth; Aorta; Aneurysm; AAA; Blodflöde; Vägg Skjuvspänning; Tillväxt och Strukturförändring; Blandning Modell; Tillväxt Kinematik; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is characterized by a bulge in the abdominal aorta. AAA development is mostly asymptomatic, but such a bulge may suddenly rupture, which is associated with a high mortality rate. Unfortunately, there is no medication that can prevent AAA from expanding or rupturing. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm : Molecular Imaging Studies of Pathophysiology

    Författare :Gustaf Tegler; Anders Wanhainen; Martin Björck; Jens Sörensen; Lars Norgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Abdominal aortic aneurysm; AAA; Positron emission tomography; PET; Molecular Imaging; Pathophysiology; Autoradiography; Angiogenesis; integrin alphaVbeta3; FDG; 18F-FDG; 11C-PK11195; 11C-D-deprenyl; [18F]fluciclatide; Fluciclatide; Bukaortaaneurysm; Molekylär bilddiagnostik; Patofysiologi; PET; Autoradiografi; Angiogenes; Surgery; Kirurgi; Medicinsk radiofysik; Medical Radiophysics;

    Sammanfattning : The pathological process behind abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation is poorly understood and difficult to study. The aim of the thesis was to study the pathophysiology of AAA formation with positron emission tomography (PET) technology, a molecular imaging technique, allowing in vivo studies of pathophysiological changes.

  4. 3. Vascular remodelling and circulating basement membrane fragments in abdominal aortic aneurysm

    Författare :Mari Holsti; Malin Sund; Anders Wanhainen; Joakim Nordanstig; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AAA; extracellular matrix; vascular remodelling; collagen; inflammation; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a degenerative disease, characterized by advanced inflammation and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling. Enhanced protease activity mediated by cytokines results in the degradation of ECM proteins, leading to the generation of different bioactive fragments. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Actions of androgens and estrogens in experimental models of cardiovascular disease

    Författare :Johan Bourghardt Fagman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AR; atherosclerosis; AAA; androgens; testosterone; 2-methoxyestradiol;

    Sammanfattning : Men are at higher risk of developing both atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Actions of sex steroids are hypothesized to underlie these gender differences. Testosterone, the major androgen, reduces atherosclerosis in male animal models but is suggested to promote AAA formation. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Structure and mechanism of iron and magnesium chelatases - at the heme-chlorophyll branch-point

    Författare :Michel Fodje; Lunds universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biophysics; pi-helix; secondary structure; AAA; porphyrin metallation; chelatase; Molekylär biofysik;

    Sammanfattning : Tetrapyrroles are synthesised through a single branched biosynthetic pathway. Heme and chlorophyll are synthesised from the common intermediate protoporphyrin IX at the heme-chlorophyll branch-point. LÄS MER
