  1. 16. A novel implantable ultra-flexible brain machine interface. Manufacturing and initial characterisations

    Författare :Fotios Tsanakalis; Neuronano Research Center (NRC); []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Brain-Machine Interfaces; BMIs; Neural Interfaces; Electrodes;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes for the very first time the development of a miniaturized neural interface which is flexible in three dimensions (3D) to enable it to follow the brain movements with minimal dislocation. Both the design rationale and the material choice for the electrodes aim to develop interfaces that minimize the damage and/or the irritation of the tissue during and after the implantation. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Implantable defibrillator at end of life with emphasis on deactivation and guideline compliance

    Författare :Annika Kinch Westerdahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD) have been demonstrated to improve survival in cardiac patients with high risk for sudden death. The incidence of ICD implantations is increasing worldwide. The cause and nature of death in the ICD population has been insufficiently investigated. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Caring for Patients with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Experiences of Patients and Healthcare Professionals

    Författare :Kärstin Bolse; Anna Strömberg; Ingela Johansson; Berit Lundman; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ICD-implantation; healthcare professional; life situation; organisation of care; experiences; satisfaction; uncertainty; clinical aspects; heart diseases; patient satisfaction; quality of life; health personnel; hjärtsjukdomar; patienttillfredsställelse; livskvalitet; sjukvårdspersonal; Nursing; Omvårdnad; MEDICINE;

    Sammanfattning : Background: An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is a technical device used in the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias. After the implantation of an ICD the entire life situation can be affected with psychological and social consequences for the patient and his/her next of kin. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Long-term outcome and exercise capacity in adults with congenital heart disease with focus on tetralogy of Fallot

    Författare :Anette Sandström; Bengt Johansson; Camilla Sandberg; Daniel Rinnström; Michael Y. Henein; Erik Thunström; Umeå universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) includes a wide range of malformations, from simple lesions, e.g. ventricular septal defect, that resolve spontaneously, to severe lesions, e.g. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Ethical Issues in Cardiology Patients' views of information and decision-making

    Författare :Anders Ågård; Medicinsk etik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Praktisk filosofi; estetik; metafysik; kunskapsteori; ideologi; ideology; decision-making; information disclosure; aesthetics; metaphysics; epistemology; ethics; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Systematic philosophy; Cardiovascular system; interview; atypical chest pain; acute myocardial infarction; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; implantable cardioverter defibrillator; heart failure; patient-caregiver communication; patient preference; informed consent;

    Sammanfattning : The over-riding aim of this thesis was to obtain a deeper understanding of the way patients with cardiac problems view both information related to their health and medical decisions and their role in decision-making processes. An important objective was to identify reasons why patients do not ask for or assimilate information or why they do not want or feel that they are able to influence medical decisions. LÄS MER
