  2. 6. Diabetes and Coronary Surgery : Metabolic and clinical studies on diabetic patients after coronary surgery with special reference to cardiac metabolism and high-dose GIK

    Author : Zoltán Szabó; Folke Nilsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetes; heart; coronary surgery; cardiac surgery; myocardial metabolism; free fatty; Thoracic surgery; Thoraxkirurgi;

    Abstract : Introduction An increasing proportion of the patients undergoing cardiac surgery have diabetes mellitus, in particular type II diabetes. In spite of this, diabetic patients have received limited attention in this setting. READ MORE

  4. 7. Measurement accuracy. Applications in X-ray computed tomography (CT) dose reduction and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) volume selection

    Author : Göran Starck; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CT; Radiation exposure; Image quality; Tissue characterisation; MRS volume selection; Signal profile; Phantom; Magnetic susceptibility;

    Abstract : X-ray computed tomography (CT) images of transaxial cross sections of the body can be used to determine tissue volumes. However, the considerable radiation dose associated with high-quality clinical images has greatly limited the use of CT for this application. READ MORE

  5. 8. Toward Robust Optimization of Adaptive Radiation Therapy

    Author : Michelle Böck; Anders Forsgren; Minsun Kim; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optimization; adaptive radiation therapy; radiation therapy treatment planning; uncertainty; robust optimization; stochastic programming; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

    Abstract : Adaptive radiation therapy is an evolving cancer treatment approach which relies on adapting the treatment plan in response to patient-specific interfractional geometric variations occurring during the fractionated treatment. If those variations are not addressed through adaptive replanning, the resulting treatment quality may be compromised. READ MORE

  6. 9. Effects of acute alcohol intoxication on human sensory orientation and postural control

    Author : Fredrik Modig; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Alcohol affects balance and is related to falls and injuries. Even though alcohol effects on balance and eye movement have been studied before we know less about the dose and time dependent effects and how each supportive sense to balance contributes during acute alcohol intoxication.

  7. 10. Distressing Symptoms in Children with Cancer in General; During Needle Procedures in Particular

    Author : Lena Hedén; Gustaf Ljungman; Louise von Essen; Dag Lundberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Childhood cancer; pain; RCT; symptoms; Pediatrik; Pediatrics;

    Abstract : The main aims of this thesis were to investigate the effect of distraction, midazolam and morphine on fear, distress, and pain during needle procedures, and to longitudinally describe parents’ perceptions of their children’s symptom burden during and after cancer treatment.The design in Study I-III was that of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted in a medical setting; Studies II-III were placebo controlled.
