  2. 11. Cerebral Blood Flow and Cognition. Clinical studies on Dementia and Cognitive Decline

    Author : Arkadiusz Siennicki-Lantz; Geriatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gerontology; Gerontologi; vascular risk factors; carotid ultrasound; peripheral arterial disease; orthostatic hypotension; blood pressure; ageing; SPECT; cerebral blood flow; cognition; Dementia; Alzheimer’s disease;

    Abstract : The importance of early detection of brain changes during ageing has been recognised. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a method used for estimation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in clinical work and in research. READ MORE

  4. 12. Cold exposure and health : A study on neurological and vascular hand symptoms in northern Sweden

    Author : Albin Stjernbrandt; Jens Wahlström; Ingrid Liljelind; Tohr Nilsson; Ellen Jørum; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cold climate; Sweden; Hand; Frostbite; Raynaud disease; Peripheral nerve injuries; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Abstract : Background: Living in a cold climate is associated with several adverse health effects. The main purpose of this thesis was to describe cold exposure characteristics in northern Sweden, and investigate the associations between such exposure and the reporting of neurological and vascular hand symptoms.

  5. 13. Epigenetic Mapping in Type 2 Diabetes. Glucose-triggered histone modifications in various tissues

    Author : Bompada Pradeep; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 2 diabetes; epigenetics; histone modifications; genome editing; ChIP-seq; RNA-seq; pancreatic islets; diabetic kidney disease; peripheral blood mononuclear cells; atherosclerosis;

    Abstract : Epigenetic modifications triggered by high glucose may predispose to diabetes risk by regulating gene expression activity. A growing body of evidence suggests that histone modification which is an essential component of epigenetic mechanism may play an important role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its complications.

  6. 14. Managing Distance : Small Firm Networks at the Geographic Margins

    Author : Alexandre Dubois; Brita Hermelin; Andrew Copus; Dimitris Skuras; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; globalisation; periphery; small firms; embeddedness; extralocal networks; proximity; kulturgeografi; Human Geography;

    Abstract : Small businesses located in the most sparsely populated and peripheral parts of Europe are frequently believed to be marginalised with respect to the processes of economic globalisation. This thesis proposes to explore an alternative perspective for understanding how small businesses that are located at the geographical margins engage with the globalised economy. READ MORE

  7. 15. Advancements in DSC and BOLD perfusion imaging: Acquisition, analysis and clinical application

    Author : Jonathan Arvidsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Cerebral Blood Flow; Cerebral Blood Volume; Time To Peak; Biophysical modelling; Signal representation; MRI;

    Abstract : This thesis is focused on perfusion MRI techniques and topics related to image acquisition, analysis and clinical applications. The first half of the thesis is focused on dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI, a technique which is based on the contrast enhancements caused by an intravenously administered paramagnetic contrast agent.
