  2. 16. Radiation dose and image quality in diagnostic radiology : optimization of the dose - image quality relationship with clinical experience from scoliosis radiography, coronary intervention and a flat-panel digital detector

    Author : Håkan Geijer; Hans Ringertz; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Det är känt att röntgenstrålning kan orsaka cancersjukdomar, hudskador och andra sidoeffekter. Därför är det viktigt och även föreskrivet i lag att strålexpaneringen inom diagnostisk radiologi skall sänkas så långt som möjligt. Detta kallas på engelska ALARA-principen (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). READ MORE

    Author : Anna Danielsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : gait; rehabilitation; assessment; physical therapy; oxygen consumption; body weight support; orthotic devices; physical activity;

    Abstract : Aims: The aims were to assess energy expenditure during different conditions, evaluate measurement methods and assess physical activity after stroke. Methods: In total 51 persons with stroke >6 months previously (mean age 56) and 24 reference persons participated. READ MORE

  5. 18. Exercise and physical activity in relation to kinesiophobia and cardiac risk markers in coronary artery disease

    Author : Maria Bäck; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coronary artery disease; percutaneous coronary intervention; exercise; physical activity; cardiac rehabilitation; cardiac risk markers; kinesiophobia; psychometrics; International Classification of Functioning; Disability and Health;

    Abstract : Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Patients who have survived a coronary event are the highest priority for secondary prevention. In the secondary prevention of CAD, strong evidence of the beneficial effects of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is confirmed. READ MORE

  6. 19. Analysis of new biomarkers and their kinetics in connection with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and percutaneous coronary intervention

    Author : Rahel Befekadu Wodajo; Sofia Ramström; Magnus Grenegård; Anders Larsson; Dick Wågsäter; Örebro universitet; []

    Abstract : This thesis studies different biomarkers in a cohort of patients suffering from ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Örebro in 2011-2012. Blood samples were collected at three time points, at the arrival at the hospital, 1-3 days after PCI and for a smaller group of patients also 3 months after PCI. READ MORE

  7. 20. Platelet Activation and Inhibition in Connection with Vascular Stents

    Author : Kjeld Christensen; Rolf Larsson; Sten Husted; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medicine; platelets; inhibition; activation; stents; ACS; Medicin;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the Chandler loop, which makes it possible to conduct studies in vitro of molecular and cellular interactions between whole blood and stents. It was possible to monitor activation and inhibition of the cascades systems, leukocytes and platelets by combining different platelet inhibitors and heparin coating of stents. READ MORE
