  2. 21. Magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of chronic Achilles tendinosis

    Author : Anna Gärdin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of the thesis was to evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as an outcome in the evaluation of treatment in mid-portion Achilles tendinosis. Conventional MRI sequences, dynamic contrast enhanced MRI and measurement of transversal relaxation time, using an ultrashort time to echo sequence, has been evaluated. READ MORE

    Abstract : In humans, gender differences exist across a wide spectrum of diseases. For instance, women are more likely to develop Sjogren’s syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and autoimmune thyroid disease compared to men. READ MORE

  5. 23. Computed tomography based assessment of treatment response in solid tumors

    Author : Chikako Suzuki; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A “substantial evidence” of effectiveness is required for new cancer treatment regimens to be approved. Objective tumor shrinkage/enlargement has been adopted as an indicator of drugs efficacy. The change of tumor size is assessed and quantified by various radiological techniques; most commonly computed tomography (CT). READ MORE

  6. 24. International validation of the comet assay and a human intervention study

    Author : Clara Ersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The comet assay is an established, sensitive method extensively used in biomonitoring studies. The methods’ advantages include; a) only a small cell sample is required, b) possibility to measure damage in practically any cell type, c) ability to measure heterogeneity in response within a cell population, d) relatively fast and economical procedure, and e) various applications of the method, which allow measurement of a range of different DNA lesions as well as DNA repair.
