1. 11. Growth hormone and the heart in children

   Författare :Anders Nygren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Growth hormone secretion pattern; Cardiac dimensions; Growth hormone treatment;

   Sammanfattning : Background and Aims: The fact that growth hormone (GH) influences cardiovascular structure and function is well established through both human and animal studies. Despite being secreted in a pulsatile fashion, only the impact of peak GH concentrations on cardiac parameters has previously been reported, and the time-dependency of cardiovascular effects during GH treatment has not been detailed.

3. 12. Modelling loading and growth of long bones Modelling loading and growth of long bones

   Författare :Priti Yadav; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Anders Eriksson; Eva Pontén; Hanna Isaksson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :Growth Plate; Finite element analysis; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Sammanfattning : The long bones grow by the process of endochondral ossification, which occurs at the growth plate. This process is regulated by biological factors and mechanical factors. The biological factors which contribute to endochondral ossification process are genes, hormones, nutrients etc. The mechanical factor is the load acting on the bone. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is characterized by a bulge in the abdominal aorta. AAA development is mostly asymptomatic, but such a bulge may suddenly rupture, which is associated with a high mortality rate. Unfortunately, there is no medication that can prevent AAA from expanding or rupturing. LÄS MER
