2. 1. CT colonography. Technique, diagnostic accuracy and patient acceptance

   Author : Maria H Svensson (Reutersköld); Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Colon; Rectum; Computed tomography; Three-dimensional imaging; Colorectal neoplasms; Colonic polyps; Colonoscopy; Acceptance testing; Incidental findings; Diagnostic accuracy;

   Abstract : The aim was to evaluate diagnostic potential, technical performance, and patient acceptance of CT colonography when used for detection of colorectal polyps and cancer in symptomatic patients with a high risk of colorectal neoplasia.Methods: After bowel preparation, 111 symptomatic patients underwent CT colonography followed by conventional colonoscopy.

4. 2. Chronic intraoral pain - assessment of diagnostic methods and prognosis

   Author : Maria Pigg; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuropathic pain; Orofacial pain; Trigeminal pain; Clinical studies; Prognosis; Diagnostic methods; Quantitative sensory testing; QST; Chronic pain; Endodontics;

   Abstract : The overall goal of this thesis was to broaden our knowledge of chronic intraoral pain. The research questions were:•What methods can be used to differentiate inflammatory, odontogenic tooth pain from pain that presents as toothache but is non-odontogenic in origin?•What is the prognosis of chronic tooth pain of non-odontogenic origin, and which factors affect the prognosis?Atypical odontalgia (AO) is a relatively rare but severe and chronic pain condition affecting the dentoalveolar region.

5. 3. Dementia, Sense-making and Evaluations : Implications for Communication

   Author : Sophia Lindeberg; Nicole Müller; Christina Samuelsson; Louise Nygård; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dementia; evaluation; assessment; testing; collaboration; conversations; interaction; language; cognition;

   Abstract : In Sweden, the dementia assessment takes place within primary health care or specialized care. From a clinical perspective, there are many factors to consider in the assessment process, and for the families entering the diagnostic pathways, the process can be uncertain and arduous. READ MORE

6. 4. Testing of Doppler Ultrasound Systems

   Author : Andrew Walker; Per Ask; Ivar Ringqvist; Bengt Wranne; Birger Wandt; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Blood and tissue velocities are measured and analyzed in cardiac, vascular, and other applications of diagnostic ultrasound. Errors in system performance might give invalid measurements.We developed two moving string test targets and a rotating cylinder phantom (Doppler phantoms) to characterize Doppler ultrasound systems.

7. 5. Modeling and Testing of Insulation Degradation due to Dynamic Thermal Loading of Electrical Machines

   Author : Zhe Huang; Industriell elektroteknik och automation; []
   Keywords : thermal degradation; thermal cycle; dynamic temperature; thermal-mechanical; fatigue; electrical insulation system; accelerated testing; condition monitoring; electrical machine; electrified vehicles;

   Abstract : Electrical machines in electrified vehicles are subjected to dynamic loadings at different driving conditions, which results in dynamic temperatures. The aging of the Electrical Insulation System (EIS) in electrical machines is caused by these dynamic temperatures, namely high average temperatures and temperature cycles. READ MORE
