  2. 1. Estimating patient specific wall shear stress in the human aorta : geometrical and post-processing considerations

    Author : Johan Renner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis describes a workflow to perform in-vivo wall shear stress (WSS) estimations in the human aorta using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. An abnormal WSS distribution is believed to influence the development of many cardiovascular diseases, e.g. atherosclerosis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Uterus transplantation: An experimental study in primates

    Author : Liza Johannesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; infertility; transplantation; nonhuman primates; uterus; human; immunosuppression;

    Abstract : Most causes of infertility are nowadays treatable, but for women that are infertile due to lack of, or severe malfunction of the uterus, there is as of today no available cure. Uterus transplantation (UTx) may provide a future possibility for treatment of these females with uterine factor infertility (UFI). READ MORE

  5. 3. Modeling Residual Stress Fields in Soft Tissues : with Application to Human Arteries

    Author : Tobias Olsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Continuum Mechanics; Modeling; Residual Stress; Soft Tissues; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Biomechanics or Mechanics of Biology comprises many different fields. This thesis deals with soft tissues or living tissues and the fact that these materials live in a pressurized environment. This means that an unloaded tissue may not be stress free. The stress in an unloaded body is usually called residual stress. READ MORE

  6. 4. Artery Wall Imaging and Effects of Postmenopausal Estrogen Therapy

    Author : Kenny A. Rodriguez-Macias Wallberg; Tord Naessén; Lars-Åke Mattsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; artery wall thickness; tunica media; tunica intima; arterial stiffness; carotid; aorta; cardiovascular disease; atherosclerosis; menopause; estrogen; hormone therapy; ultrasound; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin;

    Abstract : Postmenopausal estrogen therapy, initiated early in the menopause, seems to protect against development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. This thesis concerns studies of artery wall thickness and arterial stiffness estimated by noninvasive ultrasound techniques in long-term estrogen treated postmenopausal women who initiated therapy at the time of the menopause.

  7. 5. Apolipoprotein A-1 derived amyloid in the atherosclerotic intima of the human aorta

    Author : Gerd Mucchiano; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Amyloid is insoluble fibrillar protein deposited in the extracellular space. The resulting heterogeneous group of disorders, amyloidosis, can be sporadic or hereditary, and the amyloid is systemically distributed or localized in single organs. READ MORE
