  1. 1. Coronary Artery Plaque Segmentation with CTA Images Based on Deep Learning

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

    Author : Zhang Shuli; [2022]
    Keywords : Coronary Plaque Segmentation; CTA image; nnU-Net; FCDD; Anomaly Detection; Koronarplacksegmentering; CTA-bild; nnU-Net; FCDD; Anomalidetektering;

    Abstract : Atherosclerotic plaque is currently the leading cause of coronary artery disease (CAD). With the help of CT images, we can identify the size and type of plaque, which can help doctors make a correct diagnosis. To do this, we need to segment coronary plaques from CT images. READ MORE

  3. 2. Association of ACE and PAI-1 gene polymorphisms with clinical outcomes of obstructive sleep apnea

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Ruta Mickeviciute; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a sleeping disorder leading to complications such as daytime-sleepiness, migraines and snoring and is often associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Studies have suggested the contribution of genetic factors in aetiology of OSA. READ MORE

  4. 3. Association of glut4 single nucleotide polymorphism with obstructive sleep apnea in the swedish riccadsa cohort

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Juliaana Katto; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder affecting the respiratory airflow, characterized byoccasional interruptions in breathing (apnea) or decreased volume of respiration (hypopnea) during sleep. The disorder is estimated to affect 3-10% of the general population, with a negative impact onthe quality of life of the affected individuals. READ MORE

  5. 4. Discovery of novel biomarkers for cardiovascular disease, focus on endothelial specific proteins - a SCAPIS pilot study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Linnea Enge; [2018]
    Keywords : applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : SCAPIS is a national project in Sweden and stands for Swedish CardioPulmonary bioImage Study. The objective of SCAPIS is to find biomarkers in order to improve the risk prediction and lower the death rate of Cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is a big health problem and is one of the main causes of death in many industrial countries. READ MORE

  6. 5. A canonical correlation analysis- based approach to identify causal genes in atherosclerosis

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Crisencia Sizyoogno; [2018]
    Keywords : Canonical correlation analysis; Atherosclerosis; bioinformatics; CRISPR_Cas9; Phenotypes; Genotypes; GWAS; zebrafish; Cardiovascular and metabolic disease;

    Abstract : Genome-wide associations studies (GWASs) have identified hundreds of loci that are strongly associated with coronary artery disease and its risk factors. However, the causal variants and genes remain unknown for the vast majority of the identified loci. READ MORE
