1. On contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography of the aortoiliac arteries
Abstract : In contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA),vascular signal is produced by the acquisition of a T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scan while the presence of a contrast agent induces a low T1 in blood. In this thesis,CE-MRA of the aortoiliac arteries was evaluated. READ MORE

4. Epidemiological, mechanistic and genetic aspects of vascular ageing and arterial stiffness in the population
Abstract : The core feature of vascular ageing is the age-associated stiffening of the large, elastic arteries, or arteriosclerosis. This results in a diminished volume-buffering function and is therefore central for the increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure seen with advancing age. READ MORE

5. Mechanisms and treatment options of chronic graft dysfunction : Experimental and clinical studies
Abstract : Chronic graft dysfunction (CGD) is an important post-transplant complication. CGD can be considered as an impaired repair process, which ultimately leads to the loss of graft function.To study non-immunological factors contributing to the development of CGD in kidney grafts we used in vitro and in vivo models, and clinical studies.
