  1. 1. Enabling Hybrid Real Time and Retrospectively Gated Imaging in a Numerical Phantom

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

    Author : Sara Mineur; [2023]
    Keywords : Cardiovascular Magnetic resonance Imaging CMR ; Sector Wise Golden-Angle SWIG ;

    Abstract : Sector-Wise Golden Angle (SWIG) is a novel approach that was developed to address the limitations associated with Golden Angle radial imaging, commonly used for high temporal resolution flow measurements. Golden angle radial imaging is a time-efficient method that effectively reduces motion sensitivity. READ MORE

  3. 2. Antibiotic consumption was associated with higher abundance of gut microbiota species previously linked to coronary atherosclerosis in the population-based SCAPIS cohort

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Tiscar Graells Fernandez; [2023]
    Keywords : bioinformatics; microbiome; gut; subclinical coronary atherosclerosis;

    Abstract : Background: The human gut microbiota is the complex microbial community that lives in our gut. The gut microbiota has a key role in health and disease and its disruption has been linked to several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. READ MORE

  4. 3. Self-supervised representation learning from electrocardiogram data for medical applications

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Matilda Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Self-supervised learning; Deep learning; Cardiovascular disease; Electrocardiogram; ECG; SimCLR; BYOL; VICReg; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, increasing yearly. However, many abnormalities in heart cycles can be discovered and treated years before the onset of diseases. But in most societies, regular health checkups are a concept reserved for cars, not humans. READ MORE

  5. 4. Bootstrapping methods for assessing causality in survival analysis: A case study on major adverse cardiovascular events

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Paulina Benthem Ciano; [2023]
    Keywords : Causality; Graphical models; Bootstrap; Survival analysis; Additive hazards model.; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The combination of graphical models with Aalen's additive hazards model, resulting in a model known as dynamical path analysis, permits assessing the effects of different variables on times until an event and decomposing these total effects into direct and indirect effects. This thesis proposes novel bootstrapping methods designed for left-truncated right-censored data, conditional on covariates within the framework of Aalen's additive hazards model, in order to obtain confidence intervals for the estimates.

  6. 5. UV laser patterning of silicone-based soft electrode grids

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Maria Jakobsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Soft electrodes; Wearable electrodes; UV laser; Laser ablation; Laser curing; Polydimethylsiloxane; PDMS; Silver flakes; Teknisk biologi; Teknisk biologi;

    Abstract : Roughly 123 million people worldwide are affected by conditions such as epilepsy, dementia, and cardiovascular diseases. Wearable electrodes are currently used to monitor these conditions short-term. Long-term monitoring would allow for predicting seizures and could be used as a preventive treatment. READ MORE
