  2. 6. Severe Head Injury. Evaluation of Acute Treatment and Rehabilitation

    Author : Christer Eker; Neurokirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; cerebral blood flow; neuropsychological test; assessment of motor and process skills; rehabilitation; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; intracranial pressure; Severe head injury; intensive care;

    Abstract : Mortality after severe head injury can be considerably reduce with a therapy using physiological principles for brain volume regulation and preserved microcirculation, with the main purpose of restricting the rise in ICP to reasonable levels simultaneously with preservation of adequate blood supply. This study shows that the ?Lund Concept? can reduce mortality in patients with severe traumatic brain lesions from 47% to 8%. READ MORE

  4. 7. Aspects of Communication, Language and Literacy in Autism Child Abilities and Parent Perspectives

    Author : Emilia Carlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Autism spectrum disorders; communication; language; theory of mind; literacy; reading; narrative ability; children; parents;

    Abstract : The main aim of this thesis was to investigate literacy, ‘theory of mind’ (ToM) and narrative ability in children who had screened positive for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) (comprehensively assessed for neuropsychiatric problems), and relate the findings to their structural linguistic capacity, as measured by language tests at the word and sentence levels. Considering the important roles of families in shaping children’s language socialisation, another aim was to explore the parental experiences of having a child go through the neuropsychiatric and language diagnostic process.

  5. 8. Dementia and its comorbidities : genetic and epigenetic influences

    Author : Ida K. Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; Sweden Stockholm Karolinska Institutet Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Dementia is a multifactorial disorder of late life, characterized by memory deficits, personality changes, and impaired reasoning abilities. There is considerable co-morbidity between dementia, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and late-life depression, but the nature of the associations remains elusive. READ MORE

  6. 9. A case-based multi-modal clinical system for stress management

    Author : Mobyen Uddin Ahmed; Peter Funk; Ning Xiong; Bo von Schéele; Nosrat Shahsavar; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stress management; diagnosis and treatment; multi-purpose and multi-modal; Case-based reasoning; textual information retrieval; rule-based reasoning; and fuzzy logic; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

    Abstract : A difficult issue in stress management is to use biomedical sensor signal in the diagnosis and treatment of stress. Clinicians often make their diagnosis and decision based on manual inspection of physiological signals such as, ECG, heart rate, finger temperature etc. READ MORE

  7. 10. Developing digital support for learning and diagnostic reasoning in clinical practice

    Author : Chunli Yan; Helena Lindgren; Juan Carlos Nieves; Lars-Erik Janlert; Franziska Klügl; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Clinical decision-support systems; knowledge representation; possibilistic logic; multi-agent systems; formal argumentation; ontology; automated decision making; inquiry dialogue; end-user development; continuing medical education; dementia;

    Abstract : The two main purposes of clinical decision-support systems (CDSSs) are to provide healthcare professionals decision-making support based on evidence-based medical knowledge, and a continuing medical education. This thesis focuses on both purposes and shows how fundamental theory in the field of artificial intelligence can be developed, adapted and implemented in a CDSS for supporting learning and diagnostic reasoning in clinical practice.
