2. 1. Postpartum Ultrasound

   Author : Ajlana Mulic-Lutvica; Ove Axelsson; Karin Eurenius; Torvid Kiserud; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medicine; Postpartum ultrasound; Uterine artery Doppler; Retained placental tissue; Secondary postpartum hemorrhage; Puerperium; Endometritis postpartum; Cesarean section; Medicin;

   Abstract : This study was undertaken to investigate the involutional changes of the uterus and uterine cavity by ultrasound (US), gray-scale and Doppler, after normal delivery, and to compare with the corresponding findings from women with puerperal complications, particularly retained placental tissue (RPT). The overall design was exploratory and prospective, with the use of descriptive statistics for analysis. READ MORE

4. 2. Vascular ultrasound for the assessment of carotid atherosclerosis

   Author : Davide Vanoli; Per Lindqvist; Christine Kremer; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ultrasound; Plaque; IMT; Atherosclerosis; CEUS; Carotid vessels; cardiovascular disease; hjärt- och kärlforskning;

   Abstract : Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common cause for mortality globally, and is expected to remain the single leading cause of death as the global population ages and as life expectancy increases.Cardiovascular screening models have been developed, and continue to be developed, to identify individuals at high-risk of CVD.

5. 3. Aspects on Imaging and Endovascular Treatment of Aortic Dissection and Aneurysm

   Author : Mats-Ola Eriksson; Rickard Nyman; Anders Wanhainen; Johnny Steuer; Mårten Falkenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Aneurysms; aorta; stents; ultrasound; colour Doppler; vascular; interventional; aortic dissection; complicated; TEVAR; EVAR; re-intervention; survival; thrombosis; false lumen; aortic remodelling; Radiology; Radiologi;

   Abstract : Aortic aneurysm and dissections are potentially life threatening conditions. The advent of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has reduced perioperative mortality and morbidity and are now established therapy methods for treatment of aortic disease.

6. 4. 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

7. 5. Development and evaluation of non-invasive ultrasonic methods for arterial characterization

   Author : Anders Eriksson; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Instrumentation technology; TDI; Tissue Doppler imaging; Arterial characterization; Non-invasive; Flow generation; PWV; Pulse wave velocity; Mät- och instrumenteringsteknik; Ultrasound; Vascular impedance;

   Abstract : As cardiovascular diseases have been the most common cause of mortality in the western world for decades, the demand for appropriate diagnostic methods is obvious. To facilitate the examination non-invasive methods are preferable since they do not require sensors within the circulation system. READ MORE
