  1. 1. Artificial blood vessels - Studies on endothelial cell and blood interactions with bacterial cellulose

    Författare :Helen Fink; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :bacterial cellulose; endothelial cells; thrombogenicity; xyloglucan; contact activation; imaging of coagulation; vascular grafts; RGD; cell adhesion; bioreactor; xyloglucan;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular diseases are still the number one cause of death or invalidity in the western world today. Atherosclerotic plaques and restenosis can result in severe occlusions of peripheral and coronary arteries. Treatment depends on the severity of the disease and includes drug therapy and bypass surgery. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Tissue engineering in blood vessels

    Författare :Gisela Helenius; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :tissue engineering; vascular graft; endothelial cells; smooth muscle cells; thrombogenicity; mechanical properties; scaffold; bacterial cellulose;

    Sammanfattning : Severely occluded coronary- and peripheral arteries, caused by atherosclerotic plaques, are treated with bypass surgery. Autologous veins are the most commonly used replacement graft. Among the patients that need a vascular bypass, 5-10% lack appropriate replacement veins due to previous surgery of bad quality of the vessels. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Computational modelling of blood flow in medical assist devices

    Författare :Francesco Fiusco; Lisa Prahl Wittberg; Lars Mikael Broman; Anders Dahlkild; David Ku; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; computational fluid dynamics; haemodynamics; platelet activation; thrombogenicity; haemolysis; extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; sensitivity; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving support treat-ment in case of pulmonary and/or cardiac failure. An artificial extracorporealcircuit is used to offload the function of lungs and/or heart. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Hemodynamics of artificial devices used in extracorporeal life support

    Författare :Francesco Fiusco; Lisa Prahl Wittberg; Katharine Fraser; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; computational fluid dynamics; hemorheology; platelet activation; thrombogenicity; extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; hemodynamics; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving therapy usedfor support in critical heart and/or lung failure. Patient’s blood is pumped viaan artificial lung for oxygenation outside of the body. The circuit is composedof a blood pump, cannulae for drainage and reinfusion, a membrane lung,tubing and connectors. LÄS MER

  7. 5. On platelet-rich plasma in reconstructive dental implant surgery

    Författare :Andreas Thor; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :autogenous bone graft; bone formation; coagulation; clinical study; complement; dental implant; experimental study; growth factors; platelet activation; platelet-rich plasma; sinus lift surgery; thrombogenicity;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Background Severe athrophy of the edentulous maxilla may require augmentation before implants can be placed. Autogenous bone has been used for reconstruction in block or in particulated form. LÄS MER
