  1. 1. Vessel wall integrity : influence of genetics and flow

    Author : Hanna Björck; Toste Länne; Per Eriksson; Sverker Jern; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of death worldwide. Underlying causes, such as atherosclerosis and hypertension, are associated with remodeling of the vessel wall ultimately leading to loss of structural integrity. There are a number of factors that can influence vascular remodeling and hence structural integrity. READ MORE

  2. 2. Comorbidity and vascular risk factors  associated with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus : the INPH-CRasH Study

    Author : Hanna Israelsson Larsen; Jan Malm; Anders Eklund; Norman Relkin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hydrocephalus; normal pressure; vascular disease; vascular risk factors; elderly; depression; case control study; epidemiology; dementia; vascular dementia; small vessel disease; cerebrovascular disease; transient ischemic attack; Neurology; neurologi;

    Abstract : Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) is a dementia treatable by insertion of a cerebrospinal fluid shunt. It has been suggested that INPH has similar pathophysiological mechanisms as cerebrovascular disease, but the vascular risk factor (VRF) profile of INPH patients has not been assessed using a modern epidemiological approach.

  3. 3. Differential expression pattern of CEACAM1 isoforms in polarized epithelial cells : it's regulation and some functional consequences

    Author : Ulla Sundberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : CEACAM1; adhesion; lateral localization; adherens junctions; desmosomes; primary cilia;

    Abstract : The cell adhesion molecule CEACAM1 is expressed in epithelia, small vessel endothelia and leukocytes as two major, co-expressed isoforms, CEACAM1-L and CEACAM1-S, which differ in their cytoplasmic domains. CEACAM1 has been found both in cell-cell contact areas and on apical surfaces of polarized epithelial cells. READ MORE

  4. 4. Hello, is there anybody out there – just nod if you can hear me

    Author : Anders Brödje; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mid-fidelity Simulation.; Attitudes; Applied Cognitive Task Analysis ACTA ; Vessel Traffic Service VTS ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of social and technical aspectsof the work of Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) operators. VTS operators monitor maritimetraffic in order to promote safety in narrow waters and around major ports. READ MORE

  5. 5. The human placenta : an angiographic study

    Author : Ulla Ullberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Anatomy; angiography; fractal dimension; FVW; Hyrtl s anastomosis; IUGR; placenta; SGA; umbilical artery; vessel pattern.;

    Abstract : The arterial vessels from the umbilical cord spreading over the chorion and its cotyledonary branches constitute the main body of the placental vascular tree. In the present study it was visualized by angiography and related to placental developmental factors. READ MORE
