2. 1. On the Use of Simulation and Optimization for the Analysis and Planning of Prehospital Stroke Care

   Author : Saeid Amouzad Mahdiraji; Johan Holmgren; Radu-Casian Mihailescu; Jesper Petersson; Tobias Andersson Granberg; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : Stroke Transport Policies; EMS; Mobile Stroke Unit; MSU; Simulation; Optimization; Modeling Framework.;

   Abstract : Immediate treatment is of extreme importance for stroke patients. However, providing fast enough treatment for stroke patients is far from trivial, mainly due to logistical challenges and difficulties in diagnosing the correct stroke type. READ MORE

4. 2. Atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta as a risk factor for stroke after cardiac surgery : a study based on epiaortic ultrasound

   Author : Per Bergman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Cardiac surgery; atherosclerosis; ascending aorta; stroke; epiaortic ultrasound; intra-aortic filter.;

   Abstract : Postoperative stroke is a dreaded problem in cardiac surgery and atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta (AAA) is an important risk factor. The risk from calcified AAA, the extent and the topography of the disease in the development of stroke was evaluated. READ MORE

5. 3. The impact of different techniques used for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention on the occurrence of procedure-related ischemic cerebral complications

   Author : Juliane Jurga; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Coronary angiography (CA) is the gold standard in diagnosing and determining the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease. Procedure-related neurological complications are rare; 0.1-0.4% for CA and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). READ MORE

6. 4. Bone health and cardiovascular risk in hypopituitary patients on complete hormone replacement, including GH

   Author : Helene Holmer; Lund Medicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sekretion; diabetologi; Endokrinologi; Craniopharyngioma; insulin tolerance test; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; cardiovascular risk; growth hormone deficiency; fracture incidence; bone mineral density; growth hormone replacement;

   Abstract : Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD). Low BMD is correlated to increased fracture risk. There are no studies on fracture risk in GHD patients on GH therapy and no studies on BMD in adults with childhood onset (CO) craniopharyngioma (CP) on GH therapy. READ MORE

7. 5. Assessment of Pulmonary Blood Flow in Heart Failure. Using Novel and Non-Invasive Diagnostic Methods

   Author : Mariam Al-Mashat; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heart failure; magnetic resonance imaging; pulmonary congestion; pulmonary perfusion; tomographic lung scintigraphy; V P SPECT;

   Abstract : In heart failure (HF), the heart is unable to pump effectively in order to satisfy the demands of the body. The elevated filling pressure seen in HF leads to accumulation of fluid in the lungs, i.e pulmonary congestion. While investigation with chest X-ray is recommended, it has limitations in detecting pulmonary congestion. READ MORE
