2. 1. Laser Doppler Flowmetry and Imaging: Methodological Studies

   Author : Siv Bornmyr; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical physics; digital photography.; cold intolerance; sympathetic nervous system; flow cessation external pressure; skin temperature; thermography; skin blood flow; laser doppler imaging; Laser doppler flowmetry; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

   Abstract : Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and laser Doppler imaging (LDI) are modern methods for non-invasive and continuous assessment of skin blood flow. The techniques are based on the phenomenon that monochromatic light transilluminating a perfused tissue is spectrally broadened owing to scattering by moving blood cells. READ MORE

4. 2. Surgical Site Infections in Dermatologic Surgery- Clinical, diagnostic, and pathogenic aspects

   Author : Karim Saleh; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgical site infections SSIs ; dermatologic surgery; full-thickness skin grafting; acute wounds; wound healing; microbiome; diagnostics; prevention; pathogenesis;

   Abstract : Surgical site infections (SSIs) in dermatologic surge- ry contribute to unwanted healthcare costs and are complications that cause su ering in patients. The aim of this thesis was to explore clinical, diagnos- tic, and pathogenic aspects of SSIs in dermatologic surgery.In study I, we examined bacterial dynamics during normal wound healing and SSIs.

5. 3. Studies on the interaction of human cells with transplantable materials for skin repair and cardiovascular surgery

   Author : Katarina Jansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Cell culture; Keratinocytes; Fibroblasts; Endothelial cells; Reepithelialization; In vitro endothelialization; Tissue engineering; Biomaterial: Dermal substitute; Synthetic vascular graft; Heart valve bioprosthesis;

   Abstract : Tissue engineering is becoming an important field for the development of new tissues in vitro for replacement of diseased or worn out parts of the body. This thesis describes some characteristics of cultured human cells seeded on transplantable materials for skin repair and cardiovascular surgery. READ MORE

6. 4. Human Embryonic Stem Cells; A novel model system for early human development

   Author : Karin Gertow; Lars Ährlund-Richter; Henrik Semb; Karolinska Institute; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human embryonic stem cells; Human embryonic stem cells; model system; differentiation; xeno-grafting; teratoma; development; karyotype; chromosomal integrity; variant.;

   Abstract : Human embryonic stem cells (HESC) have since their first description in 1998 been recognized as a theoretically endless source of cells capable of differentiation into any somatic cell type. Although great attention has been given to their potential use in cell- based therapy, they are equally important as research tools for studies on early human development, both normal and diseased.

7. 5. Studying the healing and long-term outcomes of two partial thickness wound models using different wound dressings

   Author : Matilda Karlsson; Folke Sjöberg; Moustafa Elmasry; Pia Olofsson; Christina Lindholm; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Background: Safe and effective wound dressing treatments are important for proper wound healing. Such procedures therefore need to be evidence-based regarding the most important outcome measures such as healing time, less discomfort for the patient, duration of hospital care and, importantly, less scarring.
