  2. 16. Estimating Human Limb Motion Using Skin Texture and Particle Filtering

    Author : Björn Holmberg; Håkan Lanshammar; Virgil Stokes; Christopher L. Vaughan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human motion analysis; Skin texture; Monte Carlo estimation; Particle filter; Mutual Information; Simulated Annealing; Marker-free; Rigid body transformation; 2D correlation; Systems engineering; Systemteknik;

    Abstract : Estimating human motion is the topic of this thesis. We are interested in accurately estimating the motion of a human body using only video images capturing the subject in motion. Video images from up to two cameras are considered.The first main topic of the thesis is to investigate a new type of input data. READ MORE

  4. 17. Novel Cutaneous Human Papillomaviruses and Biomarkers in the Skin Lesions

    Author : Natasa Vasiljevic; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prevalence; E7 protein; Non-melanoma skin cancer; biomarkers; keratoachantoma; Human papillomavirus;

    Abstract : Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), comprising of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), is the most prevalent cancer amongst Caucasians. The main risk factor for the development of NMSC is UV-irradiation but human papillo-mavirus (HPV) might be a co-factor. READ MORE

  5. 18. Molecular Analysis of Normal Human Skin and Basal Cell Carcinoma Using Microdissection Based Methods

    Author : Anna Asplund; Fredrik Pontén; Uffe Birk Jenssen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pathology; skin; basal cell carcinoma; microdissection; X-chromosome inactivation; Patologi; Pathology; Patologi;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to gain further insight into the biology of normal human skin and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Morphology in combination with microdissection was used as primary tool for sampling. READ MORE

  6. 19. Physiological properties of unmyelinated low-threshold tactile (CT) afferents in the human hairy skin

    Author : Katarina Wiklund Fernström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Human; microneurography; mechanoafferent; unmyelinated; sensory; touch; temperature; capsaicin;

    Abstract : For more than a decade it has been known that human skin is supplied with a system of slowly conducting unmyelinated afferents that respond strongly to innocuous skin deformation (Nordin, 1990; Vallbo et al., 1993). READ MORE

  7. 20. Microvascular inflammatory response in the skin

    Author : Vladimir Evilevitch; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering; Physiology; Fysiologi; radiologi; Klinisk fysiologi; medical instrumentation; tomography; radiology; Clinical physics; sodium nitroprusside; terbutaline; anandamide; TRPV1; skin prick test; vanilloid receptor; skin microcirculation; laser Doppler imaging; Plasma exudation; vasodilatation;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the microvascular inflammatory response in the skin. The microvascular response includes vasodilatation and plasma exudation. In the first three studies, the combined response was measured in guinea pig skin with a technique based on detection of radiolabelled protein. READ MORE
