2. 1. Ultrasound as predictor of perinatal outcome

   Author : Gisela Ghosh; gynekologisk och prenatal ultraljudsdiagnostik Obstetrisk; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Doppler; Ultrasound; fetus; amniotic fluid index; nuchal cord; uterine artery; umbilical vein; fetal growth restriction; umbilical artery; pulsation; pregnancy;

   Abstract : The aim of the work described in this thesis was to evaluate the value of ultrasound examinations of the amniotic fluid, umbilical cord and blood flow velocity waveform of the fetal and placental vessels as predictors of the perinatal outcome. In the first study, the amniotic fluid index (AFI) measured on admission to the labour ward was evaluated in low-risk pregnancies. READ MORE

4. 2. Central venous catheterisation - clinical studies on mechanical complications in the ultrasound-guided era

   Author : Maria Adrian; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; central venous catheterisation; ultrasound; mechanical complication; subclavian vein; Internal jugular vein; femoral vein; guidewire;

   Abstract : Central venous catheterisation is one of the most common invasive procedures performed on patients in secondary care. Unfortunately the catheterisation procedure is associated with mechanical complications that both can be life-threatening and may force postponement of life-saving treatments such as surgery and chemotherapy.

5. 3. On the Use of Ultrasound Phase Data for Arterial Characterization

   Author : Tobias Erlöv; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Atherosclerosis; Ultrasound; Carotid Artery; Plaque Characterization; Scatter Size; Longitudinal Movement; Intima-Media Thickness;

   Abstract : Atherosclerosis is one of the major causes of death in the world. It is an inflammatory disease in the arteries which causes a gradual increase in arterial wall thickness and stiffness. Eventually a plaque could be formed, protruding into the artery and partially occluding the blood flow. READ MORE

7. 5. Development of a Passive Immunization Strategy Against Atherosclerosis

   Author : Alexandru Schiopu; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; regression; plaque; peptide; oxidized LDL; immune system; carotid stenosis; cardiovascular diseases; apolipoprotein B-100; atherosclerosis; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; vascular injury; ultrasound; antibodies;

   Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by the accumulation of lipids and fibrous tissue in the wall of medium and large-sized arteries. The characteristic culprit of the disease is the atheroma, or atherosclerotic plaque, a patchy thickening of the arterial wall which affects the lumen, inducing various degrees of stenosis. READ MORE
