  1. 6. Interobserver variability when measuring the abdominal aorta with ultrasound : A comparison using the longitudinal and transverse axes

    University essay from Högskolan i Jönköping/HHJ, Avd. för naturvetenskap och biomedicin

    Author : Emma Filipsson; Cecilia Olsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Measurement accuracy; screening; abdominal aortic aneurysm; Vietnam; Mätnoggrannhet; screening; bukaortaaneurysm; Vietnam;

    Abstract : A rupturing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has a mortality rate of 50% while an elective repair has a mortality rate of 3-8%. Screening programmes with ultrasound are used in some countries to detect AAA at an early stage. Ultrasound is however very observer bias and dependent on the observer's experience. READ MORE

  3. 7. Translation of Clinical Rupture Risk Factors for the Biomechanics based AAA Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Viktor Winther; [2017]
    Keywords : Medicin teknik;

    Abstract : The abdominal aorta is the largest blood vessel in the abdomen and the main supplier of blood to the lower body. An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an unnatural enlargement of the abdominal aorta, which is a serious condition with a high risk of mortality. READ MORE

  4. 8. Optimizing numerical Aneurism growth predications.

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Inst.)

    Author : Gustav Thorén; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Abdominal Aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized dilation of the abdominal aorta exceeding the normal diameter by more than 50 %. A common complication is rupture of the vessel wall, which in most cases is life-threatening. READ MORE

  5. 9. Differential and co-expression of long non-coding RNAs in abdominal aortic aneurysm

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Joakim Karlsson; [2014]
    Keywords : lncRNA; lincRNA; abdominal aortic aneurysm; differential expression; co-expression; RNA-seq; WGCNA;

    Abstract : This project concerns an exploration of the presence and interactions of long non-coding RNA transcripts in an experimental atherosclerosis mouse model with relevance for human abdominal aortic aneurysm development. 187 long noncoding RNAs, two of them entirely novel, were found to be differentially expressed between angiotensin II treated (developing abdominal aortic aneurysms) and non-treated apolipoprotein E deficient mice (not developing aneurysms) harvested after the same period of time.

  6. 10. Sample size calculation for longitudinal data of abdominal aortic aneurysm

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistik

    Author : Eric Markarian; [2013-07-02]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sample size calculation is a crucial step in all experimental design. In clinical research and drug development activities, it is required in order to be able to demonstrate a presumed statistical effect of a drug or a treatment. Today many sample size calculation algorithms and formulas exist. READ MORE
