  2. 1. The role of duplex scanning in the management of carotid artery disease

    Author : Karl Logason; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Duplex scanning; Doppler spectral analysis; duplex criteria; Doppler angle of insonation; carotid artery stenosis; carotid endarterectomy; spontaneous cervical artery dissection; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Extracranial carotid artery disease, mainly due to atherosclerosis, is a common cause of stroke. The risk for future stroke can be reduced in selected patients by carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Duplex scanning has been increasingly used for diagnosis of carotid artery disease. READ MORE

  4. 2. Clinical Studies on Dark Adaptation: with Particular Reference to Carotid Artery Disease

    Author : Ulf Havelius; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; polycythemia; photoreceptors; phlebotomy; ocular blood flow; headache; dilation lag; dark adaptometry; dark adaptation; color Doppler imaging; carotid artery stenosis; carotid artery disease; carotid endarterectomy; pupil; pupillometry; retinal blood flow; Ophtalmology; Oftalmologi;

    Abstract : Purpose: To study dark adaptation in patients with symptomatic carotid artery disease or polycythemia before and after treatment. This necessitated determinations of pupillary changes as such may influence the findings. To determine whether changes in the retinal blood flow in light and darkness occur in healthy humans.

  5. 3. Ultrasound evaluation of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular sources of cerebral embolism

    Author : Robert Wetterholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : stroke; atherosclerosis; aorta; echocardiography; ultrasound; IMT; MES; WHHL;

    Abstract : The search for embolic sources has high priority in patients presenting with suspected cerebral embolism. Non-invasive cardiovascular ultrasound is frequently used to reveal the presence of carotid stenosis and cardiac disorders with embolic potential. READ MORE

  6. 4. Physiological and pathophysiological cerebrovascular regulation monitored by transcranial doppler

    Author : Gunnar Hellström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) became available in the middle of the 1980s as a new technique for examining cerebral circulation. With this technique it is possible to measure the velocity of blood flow in major cerebral arteries. READ MORE

  7. 5. Impact of chronic kidney disease on the cardiovascular system : studies in non-dialysis patients and healthy people

    Author : Anna Asp; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Cardiac and arterial remodeling and stiffening occur in end-stage renal disease. The presence of cardiovascular (CV) alterations in earlier-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) is less well studied. READ MORE
