  2. 6. The effect of spatial and temporal dose distributions on radiation-induced side effects in the lung

    Author : Berit Wennberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In radiotherapy (RT), the aim is to kill all malignant cells in a tumor or to render them incapable of further division and multiplication without producing damage to the normal tissues surrounding the tumor. To achieve this, both the spatial and temporal distribution of dose delivery are important for optimizing the treatment. READ MORE

  4. 7. The potential role of retinal cGMP-interaction partners within the degeneration mechanism causing Retinitis Pigmentosa

    Author : Michel Rasmussen; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Retinitis Pigmentosa; Photoreceptors; cGMP; cGMP-interactors; retinal degeneration; neuroprotection;

    Abstract : The eye disease Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) represents a heterogeneous group of inherited retinal dystrophies, and it has been estimated that 1 in 3000 to 7000 people worldwide has the disease. The symptoms of RP are photoreceptor degeneration that leads to night blindness, followed by a decline in peripheral and central vision, and potential blindness. READ MORE

  5. 8. Holomorphic functions on polydiscs and measures on the distinguished boundary

    Author : Linus Bergqvist; Alan Sola; Emmanuel Fricain; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex variables; Holomorphic functions; Polydiscs; matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers, treating holomorphic functions defined on polydiscs, operators acting on spaces of such functions, and related measures on the n-torus. In paper I we study containment of rational inner functions, or RIFs for short, in Dirichlet type spaces on the unit polydisc D^n. READ MORE

  6. 9. Radiotherapy in prostate cancer : information, quality of life and prostate volume

    Author : Khairul Majumder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer (PC) is the most widespread form of cancer among men in Sweden, with an annual incidence of approximately 10,000 new cases. Treatment of localized prostate cancer is controversial. Curative intended treatments for localized disease include radical prostatectomy (RP) and radiotherapy (RT). READ MORE

  7. 10. Applications of the DGT technique for measurements of anions and cations in natural waters

    Author : Helene Österlund; Per Andersson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

    Abstract : Since the toxicity and mobility of trace metals are related to the metals' speciation, robust methods for trace metal speciation analysis are of great interest. During the last 15 years, hundreds of scientific articles have been published on the development and applications of the diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) passive sampling technique. READ MORE
