  2. 1. Receptor Upregulation and MAPK Activity in Arteries and Bronchi Following Secondhand Smoke Exposure

    Author : Lei Cao; Lund Medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coronary arteries; cerebral arteries; 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor; endothelin receptor; secondhand smoke exposure; bronchi;

    Abstract : Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Contractile receptor changes have been observed in several vascular diseases. The intracellular mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways are suggested to be associated with receptor upregulation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mechanical Properties of Arteries : Identification and Application

    Author : Jan-Lucas Gade; Jonas Stålhand; Carl-Johan Thore; Håkan Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In this Licentiate of Engineering thesis, a method is proposed that identifies the mechanical properties of arteries in vivo. The mechanical properties of an artery are linked to the development of cardiovascular diseases. READ MORE

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In this dissertation, a method is proposed that identifies the mechanical properties of arteries in vivo. The mechanical properties of an artery are linked to the development of cardiovascular diseases. READ MORE

  6. 4. 3D Rotational Angiography of Transplanted Renal Arteries : A Clinical and Experimental Study

    Author : Gaute Hagen; Anders Magnusson; Jonas Wadström; Jarl Jakobsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiology; Kidney; transplantation; renal angiography; renal arteries; stenosis or obstruction; imaging; three-dimensional; artifacts; Radiologisk forskning; Radiological research; Radiologisk forskning;

    Abstract : Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3D-RA) is an established method within the field of interventional neuroradiology. The method has also a great potential in other areas with a complicated arterial anatomy. READ MORE

  7. 5. Signal Transduction and Gene Regulation in Cerebral Arteries Following Ischemia

    Author : Petter Vikman; Lund Medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Naturvetenskap; Cardiovascular system; stroke; molecular investigation; gene expression; Mitogen Activated Protein Kinases; Natural science; Kardiovaskulära systemet; cerebral arteries;

    Abstract : The thesis consideres the molecular events that take place in the cerebral arteries following a stroke. The degree and temporal course of reperfusion following a stroke is pivotal for the survival of the neuronal tissue in the penumbra. READ MORE
