1. 1. Physiology-Guided Machine Learning for Improved Reliability of Non-Invasive Assessment of Pulmonary Hypertension

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Avdelningen för medicinsk teknik

   Author : Frida Hermansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Pulmonary Hypertension; pulmonary hypertension; improving; physiological-guided; machine learning; neural networks; NN; artificial neural networks; non-invasive; PH; tricuspid regurgitation; peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity; tricuspid regurgitation velocity; right ventricular systolic pressure; VGG16; Unet; TR-CNN; CNN; pulmonell hypertension; förbättra; fysiologisk-guidning; neurala nätverk; trikuspidal regurgitation; maximal trikuspidal regurgitation; icke-invasivt;

   Abstract : 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. 2. Mathematical modelling of microvascular oxygen transport and the impact of blood pressure

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

   Author : Siri Walmstedt; [2023]
   Keywords : Mathematical modelling; Microcirculation; Oxygen transport; Blood pressure; Hypertension; Systems biology;

   Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death worldwide. There are known risk factorsfor cardiovascular diseases, such as high blood pressure, and it is also known that cardiovasculardiseases are associated with both the macrocirculation and the microcirculation.

4. 3. EVALUATION OF COHEN’S KAPPA AS TEST OF RELIABILITY BETWEEN COVID-19 PATIENT SURVEYS AND MEDICAL RECORDS

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

   Author : Claes Kock; [2022]
   Keywords : Reliability; Statistical Medicine; Finite Sample; Patient-Hospital Agreement;

   Abstract : Evaluating the statistical properties of Cohen’s κ, this thesis conducts a study of the reliability of patient surveys and medical records for mild cases of Covid-19. Using data collected from Uppsala University Hospital, right-tailed hypothesis testing is performed for the variables Hypertension, Lung disease, Fatigue, Dyspnea and loss of smell and/or taste.

5. 4. Sleep apnea prediction in a Swedish cohort : Can the STOP-Bang questionnaire be improved?

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Statistik

   Author : Miriam Gladh; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is defined as more than five breathing pauses per hour of sleep, an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) > 5. STOP-Bang is a questionnaire that predicts the risk of sleep apnea based on risk factors, like snoring, hypertension, and throat circumference greater than 40 cm. READ MORE

6. 5. Omvårdnad av katter med kronisk njursjukdom (CKD) : en översikt om prevalens, behandlingsåtgärder och möjligheten att förbättra dessa katters livskvalitet

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Julia Höglund; [2021]
   Keywords : IRIS; omvårdnadsåtgärder; prognos; riskfaktor;

   Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) kronisk njursjukdom är vanligt förekommande bland katter och tidiga symtom kan vara svåra att upptäcka. CKD är en diagnos som innefattar både katter med mindre långtgående njurskador till katter i livets slutskede med mycket låg njurkapacitet. READ MORE
