  2. 1. Investigation of potential prognostic and therapeutic genes in pathologic neovascularization of the retina

    Author : Parviz Mammadzada; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; Sweden Stockholm Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Pathologic angiogenesis of the retina is a hallmark of frequent blinding conditions among the elderly, such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The underlying mechanisms are complex. READ MORE

  4. 2. Assessing Risks of Glaucoma

    Author : Sigridur Oskarsdottir; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glaucoma; Glaucoma stages; Ocular hypertension; Prevalence; Visual impairment; Prediction model; Lifetime risk; Undetected glaucoma; Screening;

    Abstract : Glaucoma is a potentially blinding disease where the affected individual often firstnotices symptoms when the disease has reached a late stage. If glaucoma is detectedearly e.g., at screening, the risk for visual impairment can be reduced. READ MORE

  5. 3. Electrophysiology, Optical Coherence Tomography and Molecular Genetic Analysis in Patients with Glaucoma and/or Best Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy as Part of Clinical Care

    Author : Elisabeth Wittström; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glaucoma; BVMD; BEST1; full-field ERG; mfERG; OCT;

    Abstract : Glaucoma is a common ophthalmic disease with multifactorial aetiology. There is growing evidence that glaucoma is a disease of the entire retina and not only the inner retina. READ MORE

  6. 4. Trust in Biobank Research : Meaning and Moral Significance

    Author : Linus Johnsson; Mats G. Hansson; Gert Helgesson; Stefan Eriksson; Berge Solberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biobank; biobank research; bioethics; biobank ethics; research ethics; trust; trustworthiness; moral responsibility; informed consent; ethics review; ethics guidelines; Bioetik; Bioethics;

    Abstract : What role should trust have in biobank research? Is it a scarce resource to be cultivated, or does its moral significance lie elsewhere? How does it relate to the researcher’s individual responsibility?In this thesis I draw four general conclusions. First, trust is still very much present in at least some biobanking settings, notably in Sweden, but possibly also internationally. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modelling and Analysis of Interconnects for Deep Submicron Systems-on-Chip

    Author : Dinesh Pamunuwa; KTH; []
    Keywords : delay and noise modelling in VLSI circuits; cross-talk; interconnect modelling; timing analysis; transfer function; on-chip bus; bandwidth maximization; throughput maximization; repeater insertion; wire optimization;

    Abstract : The last few decades have been a very exciting period in thedevelopment of micro-electronics and brought us to the brink ofimplementing entire systems on a single chip, on a hithertounimagined scale. However an unforeseen challenge has croppedup in the form of managing wires, which have become the mainbottleneck in performance, masking the blinding speed of activedevices. READ MORE
