1. Near infrared and skin impedance spectroscopic in vivo measurements on human skin : development of a diagnostic tool for skin cancer
Abstract : Every year approximately 2800 Swedes are diagnosed with malignant melanoma, the form of cancer that is most rapidly increasing in incidence in the Western world. The earlier we can identify and diagnose a malignant melanoma, the better is the prognosis. READ MORE

2. Vibration exposure of the glabrous skin of the human hand
Abstract : An occupational exposure to hand-arm vibration can cause a complex of neurological, vascular and musculo-skeletal disturbances, known as the 'vibration syndrome'. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are not at all clear. READ MORE

3. Skin cancer as seen by electrical impedance
Abstract : This thesis describes the relation between skin cancer and electrical impedance. On the cellular level, electrical impedance measured at clinically relevant frequencies is affected by e.g. READ MORE

4. Electrical impedance of human skin and tissue alterations : mathematical modeling and measurements
Abstract : The overall aim of the studies in this thesis is twofold. One is oriented towards calibrating a classifier in differentiating between malignant melanoma and benign nevi of the skin. READ MORE

5. Electrical impedance related to experimental induced changes of human skin and oral mucosa
Abstract : There is a need for an objective and non-invasive method for assessing reactions in the human skin and oral mucosa, particularly for weak reactions. During the past few decades, several methods of measuring irritant responses have indeed been developed for the skin and to some extent also for the oral mucosa. READ MORE
