  2. 11. Microdialysis in reconstructive surgery : a clinical and experimental study focusing on monitoring flap metabolism and viability

    Author : Jonas Röjdmark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Microdialysis; monitoring; flap metabolism; glucose; lactate; glycerol; pyruvate; ischemia; reperfusion; arterial occlusion; venous occlusion; tissue necrosis; laser doppler flowmetry; fluorescein;

    Abstract : When flap procedures are used to repair complex tissue wounds adequate flap circulation is of supreme importance. If the circulation is disturbed by either vascular occlusion, hemorrhage, or infection, delayed healing and flap necrosis may ensue. READ MORE

  4. 12. Intraperitoneal microdialysis : technique and results

    Author : Kjell Jansson; Lars Norgren; Carl-Henrik Nordström; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Microdialysis has recently developed from a laboratory research method of animals to a useful clinical tool to evaluate parameters suggesting tissue ischemia. It is now used in neurosurgery, plastic surgery and liver transplantation. READ MORE

  5. 13. Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging in Reconstructive Surgery

    Author : Johan Zötterman; Simon Farnebo; Erik Tesselaar; Jacob Wikner; Henry Svensson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : ObjectivesReconstructive surgery aims to restore function or normal appearance by reconstructing defective organs after trauma or disease. In patients undergoing reconstructive surgery, previous trauma, surgery or radiotherapy can result in compromised blood supply. READ MORE

  6. 14. Development of analytical transport methods for biologically optimized light ion therapy

    Author : Johanna Kempe; Anders Brahme; Irena Gudowska; Naruhiri Matsufuji; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radiotherapy; radiation quality; energy-range relations; light ion transport; pencil beam; Monte Carlo; Physics; Fysik; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

    Abstract : A general objective in the treatment of cancer is to eradicate the tumour cells without inducing severe complications in healthy normal tissue. The use of light ions for radiation therapy increases the possibility to deliver tumour suicidal doses with very low probability of normal tissue injury, not least in cases where the target is unresectable, radioresistant and located to near organs at risk.

  7. 15. Physical Aspects of Thermotherapy - A study of heat transport with a view to treatment optimisation

    Author : Johan Olsrud; Sektion V; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; magnetic resonance; non-invasive; temperature; coagulation; prostatic; menorrhagia; liver tumour; finite element method FEM ; thermal conductivity; intracavitary; interstitial; laser; Thermotherapy; hyperthermia; MRI; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Medicin människa och djur ; Physics; Fysik; Fysicumarkivet A:1998:Olsrud;

    Abstract : Local treatment with the aim to destruct tissue by heating (thermotherapy) may in some cases be an alternative or complement to surgical methods, and has gained increased interest during the last decade. The major advantage of these, often minimally-invasive methods, is that the disease can be controlled with reduced treatment trauma and complications. READ MORE
