  1. 6. Epidemiological, mechanistic and genetic aspects of vascular ageing and arterial stiffness in the population

    Författare :Mikael Gottsäter; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
    Nyckelord :Vascular ageing; Arterial stiffness;

    Sammanfattning : The core feature of vascular ageing is the age-associated stiffening of the large, elastic arteries, or arteriosclerosis. This results in a diminished volume-buffering function and is therefore central for the increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure seen with advancing age. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Adverse Muscle Composition : Revisiting Sarcopenia in General Population and Liver Disease using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Författare :Jennifer Linge; Mattias Ekstedt; Patrik Nasr; Martin Henriksson; Tommy Cederholm; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Sarcopenia - from the Greek words 'sarx' (flesh) and 'penia' (loss) - was, when coined in 1989, a term denoting the decline in muscle mass and strength that occurs with aging. Such definition implies everyone suffers from sarcopenia to varying degrees, which naturally makes studying sarcopenia challenging. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Retinal function in deaf-blind syndromes

    Författare :Eva Malm; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; general anesthesia.; molecular genetics; hearing impairment; full-field electroretinography; Retinal degeneration;

    Sammanfattning : A variety of disorders can cause retinal degeneration and hearing impairment, and it is of great value to have an early diagnosis since there is a large variation in phenotype and prognosis both within and between the different disorders. The general aim of this thesis was to characterize the retinal function, to describe the phenotype, and – where appropriate – to relate the phenotype to genotype in patients with combined visual and hearing impairment.

  5. 9. Quantitative Muscle Composition Analysis Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Författare :Anette Karlsson; Magnus Borga; Anneli Peolsson; Janne West; Todd Parrish; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Muscle Composition; Muscle fat Infiltration; Magnetic Resonance Imaging;

    Sammanfattning : Changes in muscle tissue composition, e.g. decrease in volume and/or increase of fat infiltration, are related to adverse health conditions such as sarcopenia, inflammation, muscular dystrophy, and chronic pain. LÄS MER
