1. 1. Does resting vasomotor tone impact +Gz tolerance?

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Samuel Courboin; [2022]
   Keywords : Gravitoinertial tolerance; Gravitoinertial force; Resting vasomotor tone; Mean arterial pressure; Postexercise hypotension;

   Abstract : The ability of an individual to withstand elevated head-to-toe gravitoinertial (+Gz) forces is determined by the capacity of their body to maintain sufficient head-level arterial pressure. Recent studies have shown a relationship between resting blood-vessel stiffness and an individual’s +Gz-tolerance, although the mechanisms behind this relationship are unclear. READ MORE

3. 2. Cardiovascular effects of exposure to biodiesel exhaust

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Youna Marc-Derrien; [2021]
   Keywords : photoplethysmography; electrocardiography; signal processing; pulse decomposition analysis; heart rate variability; pulse transit time; biodiesel; arterial stiffness; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Context: Urban air pollution is considered a significant factor contributing to increased respiratory and cardiovascular mortality in cities. Many studies focused on the relationship between exposure to diesel exhaust and human health effects, demonstrating the toxicity of such gases. READ MORE

4. 3. The Identification of Collagen Failure in Vascular Tissue

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Kathryn Dennisson; Nicole Namousi; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Aortic diseases are a common and fatal health issue, regarding various conditions targeting the aorta. The arterial wall consists of two proteins; collagen and elastin (fibers), and they will contribute to the elasticity and strength of the wall. READ MORE

5. 4. Detecting Cardiac Pulsatility and Respiration using Multiband fMRI

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Joakim Jonsson; [2018]
   Keywords : fMRI; multiband; cardiac pulsation; respiration; correlation analysis; neuroimaging;

   Abstract : Purpose: Arterial stiffening poses an increased risk of cerebrovascular diseases, cognitive impairments, and even dementia as cardiac pulsations reach further into the brain causing white matter hyperintensities and microbleeds. Therefore it is of interest to obtain methods to estimate and map cardiac related pulsatility in the brain. READ MORE

6. 5. Histopatologisk karakterisering av restriktiv kardiomyopati hos katt

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Louise Forslund; [2017]
   Keywords : restriktiv kardiomyopati RCM ; felin; hjärta; histologi; fibeos;

   Abstract : Restriktiv kardiomyopati (RCM) är en primär myokardiell sjukdom som karakteriseras av en vänster- eller dubbelsidig förmaksdilation, utan tydliga ekokardiografiska tecken på hypertrofi eller dilatation av kamrarna. Histologiskt ses en endomyokardiell eller myokardiell fibros i hjärtmuskelvävnaden, vilket ger upphov till en diastolisk dysfunktion till följd av minskad elasticitet i kammarväggen. READ MORE
