2. 1. Tomographic ventilation-perfusion lung scintigraphy in cardiopulmonary disease

   Author : Jonas Jögi; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Technegas; Ventilation-Perfusion Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; Heart failure; Pulmonary embolism;

   Abstract : Respiration relies, among other things, on the balance between regional ventilation and perfusion in the lungs. There are many cardiopulmonary diseases, such as pulmonary embolism (PE), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and left heart failure (LHF), which can affect respiration negatively.

4. 2. Emerging biomarkers in cardiometabolic disease

   Author : John Molvin; Kardiovaskulär forskning - hypertoni; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diabetes mellitus; type 2; Biomarker discovery; Cardiometabolic disease; cardiometabolic biomarkers; CVD; galectin 4; Olink;

   Abstract : AbstractThe epidemiological association between diabetes and heart failure is well-established and the two entities areemerging as global threats, both individually and synergistically, to an aging population. The exploration of multipleproteins can shed light on pathophysiological pathways in both diabetes and cardiovascular disease. READ MORE

5. 3. Advanced radiological imaging in patients treated with Extracorporeal Memebrane Oxygenation

   Author : Marika Lidegran; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ECMO; computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; acute respiratory distress syndrome; thorax; abdomen; intracranial hemorrhage; cerebral infarction; follow-up;

   Abstract : Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is the use of a modified heart-lung machine to support life during severe acute cardiac and/or respiratory failure. Patients on ECMO are at high risk for complications due to the severe underlying disease and to the ECMO procedure itself. READ MORE

6. 4. Analysis of Medical Images : Registration, Segmentation and Classification

   Author : Matilda Landgren; Mathematical Imaging Group; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : A large number of medical examinations involve images in some way. Images can be used for diagnostics, follow-up studies and treatment planning. In this thesis mathematical methods have been developed and adapted in order to analyze medical images. READ MORE

7. 5. Cardiac arrest – prognostic biomarkers and aspects of shock

   Author : Martin Annborn; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac arrest; shock; outcome; prognostication; post cardiac arrest syndrome; hypothermia;

   Abstract : Background: Some improvement has been seen in survival after cardiac arrest but the outcome is still poor and 50-70% of patients do not survive despite successful return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The cause of death is multifactorial. The majority of patients die from brain injury, but up to 35% die as a result of circulatory failure. READ MORE
