1. The functional anatomy of the crocodilian heart
University essay from Linköpings universitet/BiologiAbstract : 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

2. Physiology-Guided Machine Learning for Improved Reliability of Non-Invasive Assessment of Pulmonary Hypertension
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Avdelningen för medicinsk teknikAbstract : Diagnosing pulmonary hypertension (PH) with right heart catheterization (RHC) is associated with a risk for complications and high expenses, leading to late diagnoses [1]. Transthoracic echocardiography can be used to assess non-invasive indicators for PH such as right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), which can be estimated by combining the peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV) with the estimated right arterial pressure (RAP).

3. Comparison of direct Fick's principle and thermodilution for calculating cardiac output in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.Does the assessment of cardiac index and pulmonary vascular resistance differ depending on which method is chosen?
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaperAbstract : Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an uncommon but serious disease that causes increased pressure in the pulmonary vessels and increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), which in turn leads to right heart failure. At diagnosis, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) must be >20 mmHg, pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ≤15 mmHg and PVR >2 Wood units (WU). READ MORE

4. Identification of epigenetic biomarkers associated with the development of diabetic kidney disease in individuals with type 2 diabetes: a nested cohort study
University essay from Lunds universitet/Socialmedicin och global hälsaAbstract : Introduction. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the most common type of diabetes, and it can cause complications such as diabetic kidney disease (DKD), the main cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. There is an urgent need to develop new biomarkers that would improve DKD’s risk prediction in patients with T2D. READ MORE

5. Does resting vasomotor tone impact +Gz tolerance?
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)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
