2. 1. Aspects on arterial dimensions with special reference to aneurysmal disease

   Author : Thomas Sandgren; Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orthopaedics; Surgery; Arteria poplitea; Arteria femoralis; Aneurysm; Arterial dimensions; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

   Abstract : The incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is increasing. The risk of rupture is related to diameter. However, rupture may occur also in small AAA. To evaluate the size of an aneurysm when related to the predicted normal aortic diameter might be a better predictor of risk. READ MORE

4. 2. Renal and extrarenal signs of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

   Author : Henrik Hadimeri; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; autosomal dominant polycystic disease; extrarenal manifestations; arterial aneurysms; arterio-venous fistulas; continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis; echocardiography;

   Abstract : The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical impact of renal and extrarenal manifestations of ADPKD (Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease). For this purpose, prospective and retrospective analyses of patients with ADPKD in different populations were performed. READ MORE

5. 3. Non-invasive diagnostic methods of intracranial arteries

   Author : Birgitta Ramgren; Lund Diagnostisk radiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intracranial aneurysms; endovascular treatment; follow-up; subarachnoid haemorrhage; digital subtraction angiography; magnetic resonance angiography; computed tomography angiography; technical aspects; contrast agents; image quality;

   Abstract : Aims of this thesis were to compare the agreement of different magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) techniques and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in follow-up of intracranial aneurysms treated with coils in order to select the best MRA method, to evaluate the impact of increased iodine concentration in contrast medium and decreased tube voltage on arterial attenuation and image quality in computed tomography angiography (CTA) of intracranial arteries, and finally to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CTA in non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) compared to DSA and to assess the arterial attenuation (HU) as an image quality factor in this aspect. Follow-up DSA and time-of-flight (TOF) MRA at 1. READ MORE

6. 4. Medin Amyloid in Human Arteries and its Association with Arterial Diseases

   Author : Siwei Peng; Per Wstermark; Gunnar Husby; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pathology; Amyloid; Medin; Lactadherin; Aneurysm; Aortic dissection; Temporal artery; Arteritis; Giant cell; Pre-aggregation.; Patologi; Pathology; Patologi;

   Abstract : Amyloid is a form of abnormal protein aggregation within the living body. Massive deposits can lead to organ failure. There is also increasing evidence that smaller pre-amyloid aggregates exert direct toxic effects to cells. READ MORE

7. 5. Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms. Aspects on a Novel Technique

   Author : Martin Malina; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; migration.; endoleak; stent; stentgraft; endovascular repair; Aneurysm; therapy; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

   Abstract : A new concept of treating abdominal aortic aneurysms was studied during a three-year period. Instead of open repair, graft insertion was accomplished endovascularly from the groins. The graft was attached by expandable stents to the non-dilated infrarenal aorta, i.e. READ MORE
