  2. 1. Periprosthetic Joint Infections. Clinical and Epidemiological Aspects

    Author : Olof Thompson; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prosthetic joint infection; arthroplasty; Streptococcus; Enterococcus; register; mortality;

    Abstract : Periprostheteic joint infection (PJI) is a rare complication of arthroplasty with severe consequences for the affected patients. PJI most often necessitates additional surgery and prolonged courses of antibiotic treatment, leading to worse functional results and increased societal costs. READ MORE

    Abstract : Since cancer continues to plague humanity there is large need for development of modalities for both diagnosis and therapy. Most of the currently available methods suffer from serious disadvantages. The treatments, e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Learning Sequential Decision Rules in Control Design: Regret-Optimal and Risk-Coherent Methods

    Author : Matias I. Müller; Cristian R. Rojas; Håkan Hjalmarsson; Tom Oomen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Engineering sciences deal with the problem of optimal design in the face of uncertainty. In particular, control engineering is concerned about designing policies/laws/algorithms that sequentially take decisions given unreliable data. This thesis addresses two particular instances of optimal sequential decision making for two different problems. READ MORE

  6. 4. The role of adjuvant-induced innate immune activation in shaping vaccine responses

    Author : Elizabeth A Thompson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Adjuvants are components added to non-live vaccine formulations to enhance the effect of the vaccine by alerting the immune system to initiate a response against the vaccine. Powerful new adjuvants will be critical for the development of next generation vaccines to diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV-1/AIDS, malaria, and therapeutic cancer vaccines. READ MORE

  7. 5. Brain networks in time : deriving and quantifying dynamic functional connectivity

    Author : William Hedley Thompson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Studying the brain’s structure and function as a network has provided insight about the brain’s activity in health and disease. Networks in the brain are often averaged over trials, frequency and time and this is called functional connectivity. This thesis aims to extend the analyses beyond these assumptions and simplifications. READ MORE
