1. 1. Myocardial Scars on MRI : Their Prevalence and Possible Impact

   Författare :Charlotte Ebeling Barbier; Håkan Ahlström; Tomas Bjerner; Lars Johansson; Lars Lind; Kirsi Lauerma; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Radiology; magnetic resonance imaging; myocardial infarction; epidemiology; myocardial infarction; epidemiology; Radiologisk forskning;

   Sammanfattning : Myocardial infarction (MI) causes high morbidity and mortality worldwide and for effective prevention and treatment MIs have to be adequately detected.The existence of clinically unrecognized MIs (UMIs) has been known for the past hundred years, but an ultimate tool for their detection has not yet been found.

3. 2. Clinically Unrecognized Myocardial Scars Detected by MRI

   Författare :Raquel Espregueira Themudo; Tomas Bjerner; Andrew Arai; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; unrecognized myocardial scars; myocardial infarction; epidemiology; magnetic resonance; computed topographic coronary angiography; exercise test; NT-proBNP; Radiology; Radiologi; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

   Sammanfattning : A high percentage of unrecognized myocardial infarctions (UMIs) seen at delayed-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) are not detected by ECG. DE-MRI-detected UMIs are independent predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease. LÄS MER

4. 3. Ultrasound Studies of Caesarean Hysterotomy Scars

   Författare :Olga Vikhareva; gynekologisk och prenatal ultraljudsdiagnostik Obstetrisk; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate how transvaginal ultrasound examination of non-pregnant women could be used to visualize and assess caesarean hysterotomy scars, and to evaluate the risk of uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies. The diagnostic value of transvaginal ultrasound for correct evaluation of caesarean hysterotomy scars was determined, and the prevalence of defective scars was estimated. LÄS MER

5. 4. Landslide scars in the Kenyan highlands : Physical and chemical topsoil changes and landslide susceptibility assessment under tropical conditions

   Författare :Anna Wahlstrand; Ingmar Borgström; Lars-Ove Westerberg; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : Farmers living in the Kenyan highlands are exposed to the risk of being affected by landslides and they are vulnerable because of lack of resources. Vulnerability can be reduced by increasing knowledge and awareness of the risk. This thesis aims to increase knowledge of landslide-related problems. LÄS MER

7. 5. Scarred Uterus: Subsequent Pregnancy and Delivery

   Författare :Anton Baranov; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Caesarean hysterotomy scar; ultrasonography; reliability; Caesarean delivery; vaginal birth after Caesarean delivery; prediction model;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to address the problems associated with the management of pregnancy and delivery after Caesarean delivery (CD), with emphasis on ultrasound diagnostics. The prognostic value and utility of serial ultrasound examinations of Caesarean hysterotomy scars in the non-pregnant state and during pregnancy subsequent to CD were studied. LÄS MER
