  2. 1. Trauma - Diagnostics and Triage

    Author : Fredrik Linder; Kevin Mani; Hampus Eklöf; Claes Juhlin; Martin Björck; Pål Aksel Naess; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; wounds and injuries; trauma; triage; whole body computed tomography in trauma; compliance; radiation exposure; CT; radiation safety; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Trauma is a leading cause of death worldwide and it reduces years of productive life and leads to disability. Effective trauma care relies on triage, which aims to ration the use of fine resources to patients with the greatest needs. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment for pelvic radiation-induced injuries. From a multicenter randomized controlled trial to an experimental cell model

    Author : Nicklas Oscarsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hyperbaric oxygen treatment; hyperbaric oxygen; late radiation-induced injury; cystitis; proctitis; reactive oxygen species; radiation therapy; quality of life;

    Abstract : Introduction Cancer is affecting a growing number of persons. Still, the treatment and survival of cancer is improving. Radiation therapy is used in the treatment of cancer. Late radiation-induced injuries afflict 5–15% of irradiated patients. READ MORE

  5. 3. Radiation dose and related risk in interventional cardiology

    Author : Angeliki Karambatsakidou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiac catheterization procedures are classified as high radiation dose procedures, European Directive 2013/59/Euratom, and may result in skin injuries (deterministic effects) and/or increased cancer risk (stochastic effects). The radiation-induced effects can be expressed differently depending on whether the patient is a child or an adult. READ MORE

  6. 4. Inflammatory events and their effect on neural stem cell differentiation

    Author : Susanne Neumann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammation plays a dual role in the central nervous system (CNS), serving as a defence mechanism to protect and restore neural tissue following injuries or infections, but also driving degeneration and aggravating damage. This study examines the intricate relationship between inflammation and neural stem cells (NSCs) within the CNS. READ MORE

  7. 5. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging for investigating alterations in brain organization after injury during early development : with specific reference to the motor and visual system

    Author : Finn Lennartsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Disturbances or injuries to the brain during early development cause different types of structural abnormalities, depending mainly on the stage of maturation of the brain at the time of the insult. These are, herein, collectively referred to as early brain lesions. READ MORE
