2. 16. Ultrasound in the management of women with post-menopausal bleeding

   Author : Elisabeth Epstein; gynekologisk och prenatal ultraljudsdiagnostik Obstetrisk; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gynaecology; Obstetrics; observer variation; reproducibility; vascularity index; power Doppler; hydrosonography; biopsy; ultrasound; post-menopausal bleeding; malignancy; Endometrium; andrology; reproduction; sexuality; Obstetrik; gynekologi; andrologi; reproduktion; sexualitet;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate how ultrasound can be used in the diagnostic work-up of women with post-menopausal bleeding (PMB) to optimise and individualise their management. The thesis is based on six studies comprising post-menopausal women with (Study I-VI) and without (Study VI) abnormal bleeding. READ MORE

4. 17. Ultrasound and atherosclerosis. Evaluation of methods, risk factors and intervention

   Author : Jerker Persson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical physics; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; validation; ultrasound; reproducibility; progression; plaque; intima-media thickness; intervention; atherosclerosis; epidemiology; cardiovascular risk factors; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

   Abstract : The importance of studying cardiovascular disease before the process leads to hard end-points has been recognised, and methods to quantify early atherosclerosis have been taken in use in many research centres around the world. An ultrasound method with a computer assisted image analysing system was developed in co-operation with the Wallenberg Laboratory for Cardiovascular Research and Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden.

5. 18. On the Use of Ultrasound Phase Data for Arterial Characterization

   Author : Tobias Erlöv; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Atherosclerosis; Ultrasound; Carotid Artery; Plaque Characterization; Scatter Size; Longitudinal Movement; Intima-Media Thickness;

   Abstract : Atherosclerosis is one of the major causes of death in the world. It is an inflammatory disease in the arteries which causes a gradual increase in arterial wall thickness and stiffness. Eventually a plaque could be formed, protruding into the artery and partially occluding the blood flow. READ MORE

6. 19. Ultrasound Doppler Based In-Line Rheometry - Development, Validation and Application

   Author : Johan Wiklund; Livsmedelsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknik; Chemical technology and engineering; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; Technological sciences; non-Newtonian; Chemistry; Kemi; process control; In-line rheometry; Doppler; process monitoring; ultrasound;

   Abstract : The trend within fluid industry is towards continuous production, leading to an increasing demand for new and improved methods that allow real-time monitoring of quality parameters and fast process control. The consistency and viscosity can be described by fluid rheology and are frequently used as quality control parameters. READ MORE

7. 20. Prenatal Ultrasound and X-ray - Potentially Adverse Effects on the CNS

   Author : Karin Glimskär Stålberg; Helle Kieler; Ove Axelsson; Bengt Haglund; Eleni Petridou; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Obstetrics and gynaecology; ultrasound; X-ray; fetus; risk; childhood cancer; schizophrenia; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar;

   Abstract : The aim with this thesis was to assess the impact of prenatal ultrasound exposure on psychotic illness, childhood brain tumors (CBT) and school achievement, and to evaluate prenatal X-ray exposure and the risk of CBT.In a cohort study, children born in Malmö 1973-1978, where prenatal ultrasound was used routinely, were considered exposed (n=13, 212) and children born at hospitals with no use of ultrasound, were considered unexposed (n=357,733).
