  1. 1. The functional anatomy of the crocodilian heart

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Jennifer Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Anatomy; Cardiac right-to-left shunt; Cog-teeth-like valves; Crocodilian heart; Foramen of Panizza; Hemodynamics; Left aorta;

    Abstract : 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

  3. 2. Exploring the genetic cause of myotonic dystrophy in horses

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Thomas Simon; [2023]
    Keywords : genetics; bioinformatics; myotonic dystrophy; horses; variant analysis;

    Abstract : Myotonic Dystrophy (MD) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder that leads to a wide range of clinical signs including stiffness, abnormal muscle relaxation, and muscle atrophy or hypertrophy. Affected muscles develop a prolonged contracture in response to percussion of the muscle and show waxing and waning complex repetitive discharges in electromyography (EMG). READ MORE

  5. 4. Associations Between Fat Free Mass Percentage and Relative Force Production in Two Strength Tests

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Stefan Gerenmark; Viktor Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Fat free mass; Strength; Association; Hypertrophy; Body composition; Strength test; IMTP; Grip strength; Muscle mass; Force production; Exercise physiology; Biomedicine;

    Abstract : Background: Knowledge of the relationship between fat free mass (FFM) and strength capacity is not only useful in athlete coaching, but may also be important in developing clinical strategies for evaluating health in general populations. Sufficient skeletal muscle mass and strength are important factors for health and physical function. READ MORE

  6. 5. Genetic characterization of a Ragdoll family affected by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Emma Nääs; [2023]
    Keywords : Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; Ragdoll; Genetics; Myosin binding protein C3; Myosin heavy chain 7; Cardiac troponin T; Alstrom syndrome protein 1;

    Abstract : Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common cardiac disease among felines, resulting in myocardial hypertrophy and subsequent decreased cardiac function. Consequently, cats may develop congestive heart failure and/or arterial thromboembolism. The disease is inherited and various mutations in sarcomeric genes have been associated with feline HCM.
