4. 3. Blood flow restriction training for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or heart failure; A scoping review

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Avdelningen för fysioterapi

   Author : Ivar Ramström; Kevin Ulman; [2024]
   Keywords : Cardiac rehabilitation; Pulmonary rehabilitation; KAATSU; BFR; BFRT; Vascular occlusion; HF; COPD;

   Abstract : Background: Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is an effective way of training that enables training with low external load while receiving similar effects to high load training. The lack of knowledge of BFRT for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or heart failure (HF) led to the making of this scoping review. READ MORE

5. 4. Despeckling Echocardiograms Using Generative Adversarial Networks

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

   Author : Falk DIppel; [2023-10-23]
   Keywords : Generative adversarial network; deep learning; echocardiography; speckle noise; denoising; segmentation;

   Abstract : Previous research had shown that generative adversarial networks (GANs) are capable of despeckling echocardiograms (echos) through image-to-image translation in real-time once trained. However, only limited information regarding the quality of denoised echos and explainability of useful GAN components is provided. READ MORE

6. 5. The functional anatomy of the crocodilian heart

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

   Author : Jennifer Karlsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Anatomy; Cardiac right-to-left shunt; Cog-teeth-like valves; Crocodilian heart; Foramen of Panizza; Hemodynamics; Left aorta;

   Abstract : Crocodiles are ectothermic, intermittent breathing reptiles with low metabolic rates. Additionally, they are diving animals that can stay submerged for long periods, which poses special demands on their cardiovascular system. The crocodilian heart is four-chambered with completely separated ventricles, making it unique among other reptiles. READ MORE
