  2. 21. Effect of solvents during material treatment applications : tuning hydrophilicity of silicone rubber and drug loading in mesoporous silica

    Author : Anna Hillerström; Jan van Stam; Lennart Piculell; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solvents; liquid carbon dioxide; Interpenetrating Polymer Network IPN ; silicone rubber; hydrophilic; phase domains; mesoporous silica; ibuprofen; adsorption isotherms; release; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Choosing the right solvent is critical for many industrial applications. A useful property for selection of solvents is their solubility parameters. This concept of solubility parameters is central to this thesis and has been used in two different case studies of material treatment applications. READ MORE

  4. 22. Preclinical investigations of GlyT-1 inhibition as a new concept for treatment of alcohol dependence

    Author : Helga Lidö Höifödt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Psykiatri experimentell ; Neurofarmakologi; alcohol; dependence; dopamine; GlyT-1 inhibition; nucleus accumbens; reward;

    Abstract : Alcohol addiction and abuse is a main contributor to the global burden of disease and is a high public health priority. Alcohol addiction is a chronically relapsing neurobiological disorder affecting multiple neurotransmitter systems. READ MORE

  5. 23. Knowledge in practice : The feasibility of recovery capital in Swedish alcohol and other drug treatment

    Author : Sofia Härd; Ninive von Greiff; Lisa Skogens; Kerstin Svensson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; the recovery model; recovery capital; alcohol and other drug treatment; assessment tools; feasibility study; transferability; applicability; jurisdiction; social work practice; socialt arbete; Social Work;

    Abstract : The recovery model, endorsed by various governmental bodies, emphasises the integration of a recovery perspective into alcohol and drug policy, with a focus on post-treatment interventions such as housing, employment and education needs. In an effort to enhance the utility of the recovery perspective in treatment, the concept of recovery capital (RC) has been used as a foundation for operationalisations used to measure treatment needs and progress.

  6. 24. Verification of Dose Calculation Algorithms in Treatment Planning Systems for External Radiation Therapy: A Monte Carlo Approach

    Author : Elinore Wieslander; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering; radiotherapy; dose calculation algorithm; verification; Monte Carlo calculation; electron beam; photon beam; Clinical physics; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; treatment planning system;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a new verification concept, the virtual accelerator, for dose calculation algorithms used in treatment planning systems (TPSs) for external beam radiotherapy. The algorithm input data required to implement a treatment unit in the TPS are generated by Monte Carlo simulations as are the beam reference data needed for the subsequent evaluation of the dose calculation algorithm.

  7. 25. To void at will : lnvestigation and treatment of children with bladder dysfunction

    Author : Gunilla Gladh; Ulla Sillén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Improvements in diagnostic and treatment procedures have made it possible to obtain a normal kidney function and continence for most children with bladder dysfunction. However, in the daily clinical work further diagnostic and treatments procedures may be required when traditional methods fail to help the child. READ MORE
