  2. 11. The impression technique for assessment of tissue oedema : instrumentation, evaluation and applications

    Author : Olof Lindahl; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medical Engineering for Healthcare;

    Abstract : An instrument for clinical noninvasive assessment of tissue oedema based on an impression method was developed. The method measures and evaluates the decaying force, due to translocation of tissue fluid, during mechanical compression of any site of tissue. We applied the impression method on physical models, animal models, and patients. READ MORE

  4. 12. Diagnostic assistance to improve acute burn referral and triage : assessment of routine clinical tools at specialised burn centres and potential for digital health development at point of care

    Author : Constance Boissin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Inappropriate referral of patients for specialised care leads to overburdened health systems and improper treatment of patients who are denied transfer due to a scarcity of resources. Burn injuries are a global health problem where specialised care is particularly important for severe cases while minor burns can be treated at point of care. READ MORE

  5. 13. Memories of pain, adaptation to life and early identification of stressors in patients with burns

    Author : Oili Dahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Burn injury;

    Abstract : Background: Burn injury is an unforeseen event causing physical and psychological trauma for the person afflicted. Patients treated for burns commonly experience high levels of pain and anxiety related to burn treatment during burn care. READ MORE

  6. 14. Large data and machine learning in analysis, diagnostics, and clinical decision making: applications in the treatment of burn injury

    Author : Jian Fransén; Fredrik Huss; Johan Lundin; Yvette Andersson; Andrew Lindford; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Burn wound infection; Antibiotic susceptibility; Burn mortality; Machine learning; Burns; Burn assessment; Convolutional neural network; Artificial intelligence; Intensive care; ; Plastikkirurgi; Plastic Surgery; Surgery; Kirurgi; Machine learning; Maskininlärning;

    Abstract : Burn injury is a common trauma globally. Large burns require fluid resuscitation, infection control, and specialized intensive care. The size of the burn and infections caused by resistant microbes are correlated to mortality, and accurate mortality predictions are important. READ MORE

  7. 15. Assessment of bio-based fuel ash effects on magnesia refractory materials in quicklime production kilns

    Author : Naresh Kumar Wagri; Britt M. Andersson; Markus Carlborg; Markus Broström; Matias Eriksson; Bengt-Johan Skrifvars; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Refractory corrosion; ash slag intrusion; lime kiln; MgO refractory; coal ash; olive pomace ash; biomass fuel; crushing strength; potassium K ; silicon Si .; Materials Science; materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Limestone is calcined into quicklime in lime kilns at temperatures above 1000°C. Heat is supplied through combustion inside the kilns, which are insulated with a lining of refractory bricks to mitigate heat loss and to protect the kiln from the hot, chemically aggressive, and mechanically abrasive environment.
