  2. 6. Radiation therapy of upper gastrointestinal cancers with scanned proton beams : A treatment planning study

    Author : Gracinda Mondlane; Albert Siegbahn; Michael Gubanski; Iuliana Toma-Dasu; Crister Ceberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Treatment planning; gastric cancer; liver metastases; photon beam therapy; proton beam therapy; dosimetric comparison; normal tissue complication probability; risk of radiation-induced secondary cancer; patient selection; Medical Radiation Physics; medicinsk strålningsfysik;

    Abstract : Proton beam therapy (PBT), using scanned beams, is an emerging modality used for the treatment of cancer. The clinical advantages of PBT, compared to commonly used photon beam therapy, have been demonstrated in different studies. READ MORE

  4. 7. On approaches to periodontal infection control

    Author : Cristiano Tomasi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The purpose of the project was to gain understanding of clinical possibilities and applicability of non-surgical periodontal therapy. A clinical study was designed to compare a full-mouth ultrasonic debridement approach with the traditional approach of consecutive sessions of quadrant-wise scaling/root planing with respect to the clinical outcome and long term stability.

  5. 8. Building the Bridge from Bench to Bedside: Ethical Issues in Translational Stem Cell Research

    Author : Kristina Hug; Medicinsk etik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Translational stem cell research; research ethics; values; experimental stem cell-based therapies; patient safety; treatment efficacy; treatment accessibility; first-in-human trials; Parkinson’s disease; Huntington’s disease; priority setting; right to withdraw; human biological material; informed consent;

    Abstract : Abstract in UndeterminedTranslational stem cell research raises many interesting ethical questions, which have, to a greater or lesser degree, been debated at an international as well as at an interdisciplinary level. Nevertheless, there is still no international consensus regarding how a number of ethical questions related to this research should be answered. READ MORE

  6. 9. Nonlinear Approaches to Periodic Signal Modeling

    Author : Emad Abd-Elrady; Torsten Söderström; Torbjörn Wigren; Jonas Sjöberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cramer-Rao bounds; frequency estimation; identification; limit cycle; nonlinear systems; periodic signals; Wiener model structure; Signal processing; Signalbehandling; Signalbehandling; Signal Processing;

    Abstract : Periodic signal modeling plays an important role in different fields. The unifying theme of this thesis is using nonlinear techniques to model periodic signals. The suggested techniques utilize the user pre-knowledge about the signal waveform. This gives these techniques an advantage as compared to others that do not consider such priors. READ MORE

  7. 10. Neural Network Approaches To Survival Analysis

    Author : Jonas Kalderstam; Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Survival Analysis; Artificial Neural Networks; Machine Learning; Genetic Algorithms; Evolutionary Algorithms; Fysicumarkivet:2015:Kalderstam;

    Abstract : Predicting the probable survival for a patient can be very challenging for many diseases. In many forms of cancer, the choice of treatment can be directly impacted by the estimated risk for the patient. This thesis explores different methods to predict the patient's survival chances using artificial neural networks (ANN). READ MORE
