1. 1. Predicting Myocardial Injury After Noncardiac Surgery

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

   Author : Giordano Cauli; [2023]
   Keywords : Myocardial injury; hypotension; machine learning; non-cardiac surgery; F1; Myokardiell skada; hypotension; maskininlärning; icke-kardiell kirurgi; F1;

   Abstract : Myocardial injury is the leading cause of death in Europe following non-cardiac surgery. Its causes, diagnosis, and treatment are still under investigation by the scientific community. Some research groups have hypothesized a connection between myocardial injury and hypotension during surgery. READ MORE

3. 2. Testing Coagulation Potential of Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Aortic Stenosis Patients on Human Cardiac Spheroids

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Muhammad Nafiz Ikhwan Bin Nor Fuad; [2023]
   Keywords : Extracellular vesicles; human aortic endothelial cells; tissue factor; TNFα; coagulation pathway; cardiac spheroids;

   Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases have always been the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Aortic stenosis, which is a kind of cardiovascular disease has a high prevalence in elderlies that are 75 years and older. Currently, the only available treatment would be valve replacement surgery.

4. 3. Automatic 3D Segmentation in CT images of Congenital Heart Defects using Deep Learning

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Matilda Dahlström; [2022]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : 3D segmentations of hearts with congenital heart defects are routinely used today. They are used to study hearts and to prepare before surgery which makes them an important part of patient care. The 3D segmentations are usually created manually, which is a time-consuming process.

5. 4. Bypass Surgery for Lower Extremity Artery Disease: Quality Assessment of Outcome, Ultrasound Surveillance,and Follow-up

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

   Author : Veera Rönkkö; [2021]
   Keywords : Lower extremity arterial disease – Revascularisation – Lower extremity bypass – Duplex ultrasound surveillance – Graft failure;

   Abstract : Introduction Bypass surgery for infrainguinal disease is indicated when a patient presents with chronic (disabling claudication or chronic limb-threatening ischaemia) or acute ischemia. Duplex ultrasound surveillance can be used in the follow-up period to detect grafts in risk of failure. READ MORE

6. 5. Needle Navigation for Image Guided Brachytherapy of Gynecologic Cancer

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

   Author : Alireza Mehrtash; [2019]
   Keywords : Image Guided Surgery; Surgical Navigation System; Needle Navigation system; Brachytherapy; MRI; 3D Slicer;

   Abstract : In the past twenty years, the combination of the advances in medical imaging technologies and therapeutic methods had a great impact in developing minimally invasive interventional procedures. Although the use of medical imaging for the surgery and therapy guidance dates back to the early days of x-ray discovery, there is an increasing evidence in using the new imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic reso- nance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound in the operating rooms.
