2. 1. Wireless Communication with Medical Implants: Antennas and Propagation

   Author : Anders J Johansson; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; medical implant communication; electromagnetic propagation; biomedical telemetry; antennas in matter; MICS; Electronics; Elektronik;

   Abstract : With the increased sophistication of medical implants, there is a growing need for flexible high-speed communication with the implant from outside the body. Today the communication is done by an inductive link between the implant and an external coil at a low carrier frequency. READ MORE

4. 2. Silicon Integrated HBV Frequency Multipliers for THz Applications

   Author : Aleksandra Malko; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; frequency multipliers; Heterostrucutre Barrier Varactors HBVs ; THz sources; wafer bonding.; integrated circuits; heterogeneous integration; Compund semiconductors; epitaxial transfer; MICs;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with integrated varactor diode circuits for terahertz (THz) applications. In particular hybrid, monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), and heterogeneous integration are explored for frequency multiplier applications. READ MORE

5. 3. Antibiotic resistance in Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus plantarum

   Author : Maria Egervärn; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) may act as reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes that can be transferred via the food chain or within the gastrointestinal tract to pathogenic bacteria. This thesis provides data required for assessing the potential risk of using antibiotic resistant strains of the LAB species Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus plantarum as food processing aids or probiotics.

6. 4. Studies on the molecular mechanisms of resistance to fluoroquinolones and carbapenems in selected bacterial species

   Author : Nagwa Mustafa El Amin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The emergence of mutant bacteria with multi-resistant phenotype, no longer responsive to any of the available therapeutic agents is a growing concern. We have investigated the resistance mechanisms to two classes of antibacterials with broad spectrum of activity, carbapenems and fluoroquinolones. READ MORE

7. 5. Measurement of outcome in lumbar spine surgery : Validity and interpretability of frequently used outcome measures in the Swespine register

   Author : Catharina Parai; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; spine register; disc herniation; spinal stenosis; degenerative disc disorder; patient-reported outcome measure; Global Assessment; minimal important change; smallest detectable change; retest reliability; non-response to follow-up; attrition; measurement of change;

   Abstract : BACKGROUND. The purpose of elective lumbar spine surgery is mainly to reduce pain and to improve physical function and quality of life. The quality and results of the interventions are monitored in the Swedish spine register, Swespine. READ MORE
