  1. 11. Ultrasonic Methods for 2D Arterial Wall Movement Measurements

    Författare :Magnus Cinthio; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tissue Doppler imaging; Cardiovascular system; Diagnostik; Diagnostics; Kardiovaskulära systemet; arteries; ultrasound; shear stress; axial movement; radial movement; Arterial distension; Arterial lumen diameter; PWV; Arterial longitudinal movement; pulse-wave velocity;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular diseases constitute the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western World. To increase our knowledge of cardiovascular diseases, it is important to find methods, preferably non-invasive ones, to study very early manifestations of vascular disease. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Turbulent Flow in Constricted Blood Vessels : Quantification of Wall Shear Stress Using Large Eddy Simulation

    Författare :Roland Gårdhagen; Matts Karlsson; Toste Länne; Leif Rune Hellevik; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The genesis of atherosclerosis has previously been shown to be affected by the frictional load from the blood on the vessel wall, called the wall shear stress (WSS). Assessment of WSS can therefore provide important information for diagnoses, intervention planning, and follow‐up. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Uncovering novel cell wall chemistries in gram negative bacteria : from development or dedicated peptidoglycan chemometric tools to functional genomics

    Författare :Akbar Espaillat; Felipe Cava; Sun Nyunt Wai; Waldemar Vollmer; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bacteria; cell wall; peptidoglycan; peptidoglycan variations; D-amino acids; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Bacteria are surrounded by an external cell wall whose main component is a polymeric net-like structure called the peptidoglycan (PG) or murein sacculus. PG plays crucial roles in bacterial physiology (eg morphogenesis, growth fitness and regulation of innate immunity). LÄS MER

  5. 14. Detection of Myocardial Ischemia using Real-Time Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography

    Författare :Petri Gudmundsson; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myocardial contrast echocardiography; MCE; stress echocardiography; adenosine; perfusion; real-time; visual; quantative; wall motion; power modulation; bedside; SPECT; coronary insufficiency;

    Sammanfattning : Diagnostisering av syrebrist i hjärtmuskeln med hjälp av kontrastförstärkt ultraljudsundersökning av hjärtmuskelns genomblödning. Ultraljudsundersökning av hjärtat (ekokardiografi) används mycket inom hjärtsjukvården idag, oftast för att utreda hjärtats och hjärtklaffarnas anatomi och funktion. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Effects of Biomechanical Stress on Gene Regulation in Vascular Cells

    Författare :Maria Carlström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :shear stress; intraluminal pressure; endothelium; gene expression; DNA microarray; real-time RT-PCR; reference genes; smooth muscle cells; P2 receptors; TNF-alpha; urokinase-type plasminogen activator;

    Sammanfattning : The vascular vessel wall is constantly exposed to biomechanical forces, such as shear and tensile stress. Biomechanical forces are important for several physiological and pathological processes and have been shown to regulate a number of fundamental vascular functions, such as vascular tone and remodeling processes.
