1. 11. Medin amyloid - a matter close to the heart : Studies on medin amyloid formation and involvement in aortic pathology

   Författare :Annika Larsson; Per Westermark; Sari Kiuru-Enari; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AA amyloidosis; aging; amyloid; aneurysm; arterial media; dissection; elastin; medin amyloid; lactadherin; thoracic aorta; Pathology; Patologi;

   Sammanfattning : Amyloidoses are a group of protein misfolding diseases characterized by deposits of insoluble fibrillar protein aggregates. Medin amyloid, which is the focus of this thesis, appears in the media of the thoracic aorta in nearly all individuals over 50 years. LÄS MER

3. 12. Chlamydia pneumoniae in Aortic Valve Sclerosis and Thoracic Aortic Disease : Aspects of Pathogenesis and Therapy

   Författare :Christina Nyström-Rosander; Kenneth Persson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Communicable diseases; Chlamydia pneumoniae; aortic valve sclerosis; trace elements; thoracic aorta; antibiotics; Polymerase Chain Reaction PCR ; electron microscopy EM ; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious diseases; Infektionssjukdomar; infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

   Sammanfattning : The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cp), a common human pathogen, has been associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The aetiology of non-rheumatic aortic valve sclerosis has, however, not been clarified. LÄS MER

4. 13. Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair : Clinical and morphological outcomes

   Författare :Tina Hellgren; Kevin Mani; Santi Trimarchi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : In the years following its introduction in the late 1980’s, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) rose as a minimally invasive alternative to open surgical repair of thoracic aortic disease. As a result, an expanding group of patients are receiving invasive treatment, even though evidence in the area is still scarce. LÄS MER

5. 14. Advancing Endovascular Management of Thoracic Aortic Disease

   Författare :William J. Yoon; Anders Wanhainen; Kevin Mani; Thomas Forbes; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Thoracic endovascular aortic repair; branched thoracic endograft; dissection specific stent graft; computational fluid dynamics; automated image analysis; Kirurgi; Surgery;

   Sammanfattning : Despite technological advances and new endograft designs, endovascular treatment of the thoracic aorta still has important limitations. The aims of this thesis were to obtain further understanding on specific limitations in treating complex thoracic aortic pathologies with current technologies, to gain more insights into the hemodynamic consequences of thoracic endografting, and to explores the potential of deep learning algorithm-based automatic assessment of follow-up CTA imaging.

7. 15. Medin Amyloid in Human Arteries and its Association with Arterial Diseases

   Författare :Siwei Peng; Per Wstermark; Gunnar Husby; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pathology; Amyloid; Medin; Lactadherin; Aneurysm; Aortic dissection; Temporal artery; Arteritis; Giant cell; Pre-aggregation.; Patologi; Pathology; Patologi;

   Sammanfattning : Amyloid is a form of abnormal protein aggregation within the living body. Massive deposits can lead to organ failure. There is also increasing evidence that smaller pre-amyloid aggregates exert direct toxic effects to cells. LÄS MER
