1. Car-To-Car Side Impacts: Development and Validation of Mathematical Models and their Usability for Protective System Design
University dissertation from Chalmers University of TechnologyAbstract : The objective of the present work was to develop and use mathematical models to establish principles for protective systems for occupants in car-to-car side impacts. The efforts in this work have concentrated on the protection of the thorax and abdomen since these body parts are most frequently injured in side impacts. READ MORE

2. Physical Modeling of Brain and Head Kinematics
University dissertation from Chalmers University of TechnologyAbstract : The development of head injury criteria and countermeasures for head protection requires understanding of how different factors affect brain and head kinematics. In this thesis, 2D physical models of the human head were developed and used to evaluate how various factors affect brain kinematics during angular head kinematics. READ MORE

3. Car-to-Car Side Impacts: Occupant Injuries, Test Methods, and the Development and Evaluation of Protective Systems
University dissertation from Chalmers University of TechnologyAbstract : The present work addresses the problem of injuries following car-to-car side collisions. The injuries in this type of impact have been evaluated to form the basis for the development of test methods and for the principles of protective systems. Side impacts give rise to relatively more severe injuries than frontal impacts. READ MORE

5. The impact of tourniquet use in total knee arthroplasty
University dissertation from Stockholm : Karolinska Institutet, Dept of Clinical Science and Education, SödersjukhusetAbstract : Use of the tourniquet in extremity surgery is considered to be an important tool because it prevents intraoperative bleeding and thereby improves visualization of the surgical field. However, its use is not without risks, and complications may occur. READ MORE
