1. 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

4. Detecting Cardiac Pulsatility and Respiration using Multiband fMRI
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysikAbstract : 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

5. Histopatologisk karakterisering av restriktiv kardiomyopati hos katt
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical SciencesAbstract : 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
