1. 1. 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

3. 2. Preprocessing for intravoxel incoherent motion analysis in the brain - Signal drift correction

   University essay from

   Author : Amina Warsame; [2023-04-17]
   Keywords : Medical physics; Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging; dMRI; Intravoxel incoherent motion; IVIM;

   Abstract : Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a diagnostic imaging technique that is sensitized to the movement of water molecules in tissues. Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) analysis can be used to estimate blood flow in capillaries from weakly diffusion-weighted data. READ MORE

4. 3. Systematic Multi-Parametric Analysis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Flow Cytometry Drug Screens using Flowty

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Augusta Jensen; [2023]
   Keywords : Acute myeloid leukemia; AML; cellular subpopulations; data analysis; precision medicine; Flowty; applied microbiology; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease, making it difficult to treat. The standard treatment is intensive chemotherapy and has not changed in 40 years. However, recently new drugs and as less intensive treatment regimens have been approved in the US and in Europe. However. READ MORE

5. 4. 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

6. 5. Microfluidic flow splitter shape optimization for high throughput

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Christoffer Papamoustos Palmér; Joel Linder; [2023]
   Keywords : Genetic algorithms; Lab-on-a-chip; Optimization; Acoustofluidics; Microfluidics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Due to an increasing incidence rate, the need for new effective methods for diagnosing cancer are of high importance. Studies have shown that circulating tumor cells, CTCs, have great potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Acoustophoresis is a label free method, capable of separating CTCs from red blood cells in a blood sample. READ MORE
