2. 1. Ultrasonic Quantification of Skeletal Muscle Dynamics : Feasibility and Limitations

   Author : Frida Lindberg; Lars-Åke Brodin; Christer Grönlund; Tomas Jansson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ultrasound; skeletal muscle; intramuscular; dynamics; Tissue Doppler Imaging; Speckle Tracking; strain; quantification;

   Abstract : Pain and disorders of the human skeletal muscles are one of the most common reasons for medical consultations in the western countries today and there is a great need to improve both the understanding and treatment of several different muscular conditions.Techniques describing the muscle function in vivo are often limited by either their invasiveness or lack of spatial resolution.

6. 4. Sleep-disordered breathing in women : Associations with cardiovascular disease and the significance of sleep apnea during REM sleep

   Author : Mirjam Ljunggren; Eva Lindberg; Christer Janson; Eva Svanborg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstructive sleep apnea; REM sleep; cardiovascular disease; heart failure; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

   Abstract : Background: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but it is unclear which elements of SDB that are most harmful to the cardiovascular system and whether the associations observed in men also apply to women.Aim: To investigate associations between different aspects of SDB and cardiovascular disease in womenMethods and results: All four papers were based on participants in “Sleep and Health in Women” (SHE), a population-based cohort study of women.
