  1. 31. Regulation of aortic wall mechanics and stress : An experimental study in man

    Författare :Håkan Åstrand; Toste Länne; Matts Karlsson; Martin Björck; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aorta; wall stress; remodeling; IMT; gender; diabetes mellitus; aging; collagen; elastin; Vascular surgery; Kärlkirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : The abdominal aorta (AA) in man is a vulnerable artery prone to atherosclerosis as well as aneurysmatic dilation. The underlying aortic composition, mechanical properties as well as the mechanisms responsible for age-related changes and vascular disease are however largely unknown. LÄS MER

  3. 32. Mixture Effects of Environmental Contaminants

    Författare :Erik Lampa; Monica Lind; Jonas Björk; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mixtures; Environmental Contaminants; Atherosclerosis; Metabolic Syndrome; Boosting; Epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : Chemical exposure in humans rarely consists of a single chemical. The everyday exposure is characterized by thousands of chemicals mainly present at low levels. Despite that fact, risk assessment of chemicals is carried out on a chemical-by-chemical basis although there is a consensus that this view is too simplistic. LÄS MER

  4. 33. Statistical methods for detecting gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in genome-wide association studies

    Författare :Mattias Frånberg; Jens Lagergren; Bengt Sennblad; Anders Hamsten; Heather Cordell; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Sammanfattning : Despite considerable effort to elucidate the genetic architecture of multi-factorial traits and diseases, there remains a gap between the estimated heritability (e.g., from twin studies) and the heritability explained by discovered genetic variants. LÄS MER

  5. 34. Ultrasound evaluation of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular sources of cerebral embolism

    Författare :Robert Wetterholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :stroke; atherosclerosis; aorta; echocardiography; ultrasound; IMT; MES; WHHL;

    Sammanfattning : The search for embolic sources has high priority in patients presenting with suspected cerebral embolism. Non-invasive cardiovascular ultrasound is frequently used to reveal the presence of carotid stenosis and cardiac disorders with embolic potential. LÄS MER

  7. 35. Quantification of Arterial Wall with MRI and Image Processing

    Författare :Mari Hänni; Torbjörn Andersson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiology; image processing; Magnetic resonance imaging; animal model; arterial wall; Radiologisk forskning; atherosclerosis; Radiological research; Radiologisk forskning; Diagnostisk radiologi; Diagnostic Radiology;

    Sammanfattning : Quantification of atherosclerosis in vivo in animal models is of great importance when treatments against atherosclerosis are evaluated. In the studies presented in this thesis a non-invasive method combining MRI and image processing is evaluated. LÄS MER
