  2. 11. Recurrent Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

    Author : Sigurdur Gudjonsson; Urologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; early instillation; biopsies; biomarkers; recurrence; bladder cancer; non-muscle-invasive; tissue microarray; gene-expression;

    Abstract : A characteristic feature of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is the high risk of recurrent disease after primary treatment. Although only a minority of cases eventually progress to a life-threatening muscle-invasive tumour, it is necessary to conduct long-term follow-up with repeated cystoscopies. READ MORE

  4. 12. D-arabinitol in the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis

    Author : Gudrun Sigmundsdottir; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; D-arabinitol; D-arabitol; Candida; invasive candidiasis; production rate; diagnosis; neonate; neutropenic; HIV;

    Abstract : Invasive candidiasis (IC) is a serious condition and timely diagnosis with early initiation of antifungal therapy is imerative for improving outcomes. Arabinitol is a sugar alcohol with two stereoisomers, D-arabinitol (DA) and L-arabintiol (LA). READ MORE

  5. 13. Population History and Non-invasive Monitoring : Use of low copy number DNA in Conservation Genetics

    Author : Øystein Flagstad; Ettore Randi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; genetic tagging; immigration; loss of genetic variability; non-invasive molecular techniques; population decline; Swayne’s hartebeest; wolf; wolverine; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

    Abstract : Conservation genetics research is increasingly becoming an integrated part of the management of small and endangered populations. In this thesis I developed tools for genetic analysis of low copy number sources of DNA, such as old teeth from museum specimens as well as field-collected faeces and urine. READ MORE

  6. 14. Multivariate non-invasive measurements of skin disorders

    Author : Josefina Nyström; Britta Lindholm-Sethson; Paul SLU Geladi; Lars Noergaard; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Multivariate Data Analysis; Non-invasive techniques; Clinical studies; Principal Component Analysis; Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis; Wilcoxon Signed Rank Sum Test; Near-InfraRed spectroscopy; Frequency Bio Impedance Analysis of whole body; Laser Doppler Imaging; Digital Colour Photography; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

    Abstract : The present thesis proposes new methods for obtaining objective and accurate diagnoses in modern healthcare. Non-invasive techniques have been used to examine or diagnose three different medical conditions, namely neuropathy among diabetics, radiotherapy induced erythema (skin redness) among breast cancer patients and diagnoses of cutaneous malignant melanoma.

  7. 15. Invasive treatment for intermittent claudication - clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness

    Author : Henrik Djerf; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Intermittent claudication; peripheral arterial disease; health-related quality of life; cost-effectiveness; invasive treatment;

    Abstract : Intermittent claudication (IC) is caused by obstructive arterial lesions and is characterized by effort-induced pain in the lower extremity, limiting walking distance, and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The prevalence of IC is increasing due to the ageing of the population, and the consequences of the economic effects are a global problem. READ MORE
