  1. 21. Longitudinal Common Carotid Artery Wall Motion - mechanistic, prognostic and translational studies

    Författare :Sara Svedlund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :carotid artery; longitudinal wall motion; ultrasound; velocity vector imaging; risk factor;

    Sammanfattning : The longitudinal arterial movement of the common carotid artery (CCA) has been less investigated during the past compared to the radial movement. This is probably due to lack of an adequate measuring method. Velocity vector ultrasound imaging (VVI) now enables assessment of the longitudinal movement. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Towards Subject Specific Aortic Wall Shear Stress : a combined CFD and MRI approach

    Författare :Johan Renner; Matts Karlsson; Toste Länne; Patrick Segers; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Sammanfattning : The cardiovascular system is an important part of the human body since it transports both energy and oxygen to all cells throughout the body. Diseases in this system are often dangerous and cardiovascular diseases are the number one killer in the western world. LÄS MER

  4. 23. On endovascular methods for cell transplantation : exploring the selective intra-arterial and trans-vessel wall routes

    Författare :H Johan Lundberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Cell based transplantation methods are a pivotal part of the emerging field of regenerative medicine. These transplantation methods could possible produce curative treatments where, previously, expectations of such feats were low. Diseases for which treatments are evaluated are in such diverging physiological systems as e.g. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Injury-Induced Signalling in Arterial Smooth Muscle Cells

    Författare :Sara Moses; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; GAG; Clinical biology; Klinisk biologi; proteoglycan; osteopontin; ERK; MAPK; signalling; smooth muscle cell; injury;

    Sammanfattning : The vascular wall is an active, elastic and integrated organ made up of cellular and extracellular matrix (ECM) components. It is not a static organ; the components dynamically change and reorganize in response to physiological and pathological stimuli. Vascular injury induces a complex healing process, analogous to generalised wound healing. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Vascular Wall Responses to Bypass Grafting - Studies in Mice

    Författare :Klas Österberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Intimal hyperplasia; graft stenosis; smooth muscle cells; mice; cellular recruitment;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Vein grafts are frequently used in bypass surgery for treatment of coronary artery disease and lower limb ischemia. Unfortunately the long-term patency is impaired by vein graft stenoses due to intimal hyperplasia (IH). It is assumed that exaggerated intimal thickening is initiated by vessel wall injuries or local flow disturbances. LÄS MER
