    Abstract : Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common male cancer in Europe and the US, and only lung and colorectal cancer have a higher mortality among European men. In Sweden, PCa is the most common cause of cancer-related death for men. READ MORE

  5. 8. Exploring Polymer-Shelled Microbubbles: Detection Modeling and Application

    Author : Hongjian Chen; Dmitry Grishenkov; Birgitta Janerot-Sjöberg; Tomas Jansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ultrasound contrast agent; polymer-shelled microbubble; ultrasound imaging; contrast pulse sequence; microbubble model; hydrodynamic cavitation; Technology and Health; Teknik och hälsa;

    Abstract : Ultrasound imaging (US) is widely used in clinical practice. Given the low cost and easy access to the ultrasound machine, US has a great potential to improve the health care condition for the majority of the population in the world. The US could be significantly improved by injecting ultrasound contrast agents to opacify the bloodstream. READ MORE

  6. 9. Fibrinolytic factors in relation to anthropometry and incident type 2 diabetes

    Author : Jenny Hernestål Boman; Lars Johansson; Jan-Håkan Jansson; Tomas Lindahl; Umeå universitet; []
