  2. 1. Homicide Injury Quantification : Measures of injury severity in homicide victims and associations with homicide characteristics

    Author : Fredrik Tamsen; Ingemar Thiblin; Peter Mygind Leth; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Homicide; Injury score; Injury quantification; Offender profiling; Rättsmedicin; Forensic Medicine;

    Abstract : Some previous studies have found that the amount and severity of injuries in homicide victims correlate with different homicide characteristics, such as the victim-offender relationship and drug influence of the offender. If such relationships exist, they may be used by homicide investigators as part of an offender profiling. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mass spectrometry for comparative proteomics of degenerative and regenerative processes in the brain

    Author : Carina Sihlbom; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : glycoproteomics; quantitative proteomics; glycoprotein; protein quantification; glycosylation; Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometry; cerebrospinal fluid; Alzheimer s disease; neurodegeneration; neuroregeneration; hippocampus; astrocytes; brain injury; 14-3-3 protein; isoform;

    Abstract : Biological processes involve changes at the protein level. Proteomics aims to determine protein changes from a normal state, to measure for instance recovery or disease progression. Mass spectrometry is the most important tool for identification of proteins and determination of post-translational modifications such as glycosylation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cross-modal Imaging in Lung Research: From µCT dosimetry to synchrotron phase contrast microtomography biomechanical insights in preclinical lung injury models

    Author : Richard Deyhle Jr; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Thermoluminescent Dosimetry; Optically stimulated luminescence OSL ; Computed tomography CT ; 4DCT; Phantoms; Imaging; X-rays; pre-clinical models; Pre-clinical; dosimetry: physical basis; biomedical strain; lung injury; mechanical ventilation; inflammation; lung function; synchrotron; histology; acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS ; Ventilator Inudced Lung Injury VILI ; Histology; Forced Oscillation Technique FOT ; Divergence Theorem; Registration techniques;

    Abstract : Lung diseases continue to present a large burden to public health, especially in industrialized countries. For abetter understanding of the underlying patho-mechanisms in lung related diseases as well as for testing theefficacy of novel therapies, preclinical studies in animal models are indispensable.

  6. 4. Advances for Biomarker Discovery in Neuroproteomics using Mass Spectrometry : From Method Development to Clinical Application

    Author : Marcus O.D. Sjödin; Magnus Wetterhall; Jonas Bergquist; Dominic M. Desiderio; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mass Spectrometry; Biomarker; Proteomics; Central Nervous System; Cerebrospinal Fluid; Traumatic Brain Injury; Cloud-Point Extraction; Neuroproteomics; Relative Quantification; Spinal Cord Stimulation; Neuropathic Pain; Analytical Chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

    Abstract : Proteins offer a prominent group of compounds which may be ubiquitously affected in disease and used as biomarkers for early diagnosis, assessing treatment or drug development. Clinical proteomics aim to screen for protein biomarkers by a comprehensive analysis of all proteins expressed in a biological matrix during a certain pathology. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nerve injury induced pain and spinal cord stimulation

    Author : Camilla Ultenius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Neuropathic pain;

    Abstract : Chronic neuropathic pain caused by injury to or disease in the nervous system is relatively common and results in major suffering, poor quality of life and incapacity. Such pain is a therapeutic challenge because a considerable portion of the patients fails to benefit from pharmacotherapy. READ MORE
