2. 1. Prevention of surgical site infections after lower extremity bypass procedures

   Author : Francis Rezk; Vaskulära sjukdomar - kliniska studier; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antibiotic prophylaxis; surgical site infection; vascular surgery; lower extremity bypass; wound dehiscence; compliance; incisional negative pressure wound therapy; Hawthorne effect; healthcare professionals; observation; hygiene; adherence; patient experience; PICO-dressing;

   Abstract : Abstract: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a common cause of morbidity following open vascular surgery. Numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs), along with systematic reviews and meta-analyses of RCTs, have been conducted to compare incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT) with standard wound dressings above sutured incisions in the inguinal region.

4. 2. Exploring barriers and enablers to the implementation of feasible interventions that address antibiotic resistance in Romania

   Author : Ioana Ghiga; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global public threat to human and animal health and sustainable development with significant economic and societal implications. The key drivers of AMR are numerous with one key one being non-prudent use (whether misuse or overuse) of antibiotics. READ MORE

5. 3. Exploring the mechanistic details of Gram-positive Type 4 Secretion Systems

   Author : Lena Lassinantti; Ronnie Berntsson; A. Elisabeth Sauer-Eriksson; Sjoerd Wanrooij; Samuel Wagner; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antimicrobial resistance; Horizontal gene transfer; Gram-positive bacteria; Type 4 Secretion Systems; Conjugation; Enterococcus faecalis; pCF10; PrgU; PcfF; PrgB; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Abstract : Hospital acquired (i.e. nosocomial) infections and antibiotic resistance are large issues in the world today, with about 1.3 million people estimated to have died from antibiotic resistant infections in 2019 alone, and these problems are on the rise. READ MORE

6. 4. Interleukin 15 and 17 in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis

   Author : Louise Henningsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; Interleukin-17A; Interleukin-15; arthritis; osteoclasts; IL-23;

   Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus–induced arthritis leads to severe joint destruction and high mortality despite antibiotic treatment. Thus, there is a need to identify new treatment targets in addition to antibiotic therapy. Interleukin (IL)-15 has been implicated both in osteoclastogenesis and in bacterial clearance – two important issues in S. READ MORE

7. 5. Cellulose derived carbon dots : From synthesis to evaluation as multifunctional building blocks in biomedical scaffolds

   Author : Nejla Benyahia Erdal; Minna Hakkarainen; Jukka Seppälä; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose; microwave; carbon dots; polycaprolactone; scaffold; mineralization; drug loading; cellulosa; mikrovågor; kolnanopartiklar; polykaprolakton; stödmatris för vävnadsregenerering; mineralisering; läkemedelsbärare; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : The implementation of biobased and biodegradable polymeric materials in biomedical applications is often coupled with issues related to their insufficient mechanical properties or limited bioactivity. In this thesis, a perspective on valorization of biomass is presented, demonstrating the transformation of cellulose into biobased carbon nanomaterials with the potential to serve as multifunctional property enhancers in polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold materials for tissue engineering.
