2. 1. Integrated microsystems for continuous glucose monitoring, interstitial fluid sampling and digital microfluidics

   Author : Federico Ribet; Niclas Roxhed; Göran Stemme; Boris Stoeber; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microelectromechanical systems MEMS ; biosensors; biomedical devices; continuous glucose monitoring CGM ; glucose sensors; microneedles; interstitial fluid sampling; minimally-invasive technologies; electrochemical sensors; heterogeneous integration; wire bonding; magnetic assembly; electrowetting-on-dielectric EWOD ; digital microfluidics; ionic liquids; gas sensors; optical switches; laser shutters.; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Interdisciplinary research between medicine and microsystem engineering creates new possibilities to improve the quality of life of patients or to further enhance the performance of already existing devices. In particular, microsystems show great potential for the realization of biosensors and sampling devices to monitor bioanalytes with minimal patient discomfort. READ MORE

4. 2. Towards Defence In Depth In Diabetes Glucose Self-Management

   Author : Fredrik Ståhl; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Diabetes; model; insulin action; postprandial glucose;

   Abstract : Diabetes is a disease characterized by insufficient capacity to regulate the blood glucose level. In insulin-dependent diabetes, multiple daily injections of insulin have to be administered. In-between scheduled visits to the care provider, the patient has to manage the glucose control independently. READ MORE

5. 3. Electrochemical (bio-)sensors operating in human physiological fluids

   Author : Carolin Psotta; Sergey Shleev; Magnus Falk; Evgeny Katz; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : biosensor; bacteria; enzyme; sensor; physiological fluid;

   Abstract : This thesis is focused on developing electrochemical (bio-)sensors specifically designed to detect biomolecules and bacteria in human physiological fluids. A more comprehensive understanding of their performance can be obtained by exposing the sensors to real human physiological fluids. READ MORE

6. 4. Protein kinases in hormonal regulation of adipocyte metabolism

   Author : Christine Berggreen; Proteinfosforylering; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adipocyte; PKB; AMPK; SIK3; insulin; catecholamines; lipolysis; lipogenesis; glucose uptake; de novo fatty acid synthesis; A769662; Akti; cAMP;

   Abstract : Abstract Along with liver and muscle tissue, adipose tissue helps maintain normal levels of glucose and lipids in the blood and has a very important role when it comes to storing lipids that can provide whole-body energy. After a meal is ingested, adipocytes take up glucose from the circulation and use it as a substrate for synthesis of new fatty acids (FAs) in a process known as de novo fatty acid synthesis, as well as for synthesis of glycerol.

7. 5. Metabolic monitoring in patients undergoing cardiac surgery using intravascular microdialysis

   Author : Fanny Schierenbeck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Critically ill patients and patients undergoing cardiac surgery often experience hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia and glycemic variability (fluctuating blood glucose concentrations), all of which have been associated with adverse outcomes. Glycemic control aimed at avoiding both hyper- and hypoglycemia as well as at minimizing glycemic variability has been shown to be beneficial in these patients. READ MORE
