  2. 11. Haemodialysis Treatment Monitored On-line by Ultra Violet Absorbance

    Author : Fredrik Uhlin; Lars-Göran Lindberg; Martin Magnusson; Bernd Stegmayr; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dialysis; Hemodialysis; Proteins; Metabolism; Renal dialysis; Ultraviolet spectrophotometry; Urea; Uremia; Kidney diseases; Njursjukdomar;

    Abstract : This thesis describes and evaluates an optical method utilizing ultra violet (UV) absorbance for on-line monitoring of haemodialysis treatment. Increased efficiency of haemodialysis treatment is considered to correlate to decreased morbidity and mortality when urea clearance (Kt/V) is elevated. READ MORE

  4. 12. Decision-making support for choosing among different component origins

    Author : Deepika Badampudi; Tomi Männistö; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Component-based software development; component origin; decision-making; snowballing; database search; process-line; Bayesian synthesis and knowledge translation;

    Abstract : Context: The amount of software in solutions provided in various domains is continuously growing. These solutions are a mix of hardware and software solutions, often referred to as software-intensive systems. Companies seek alternatives to improve the software development process to avoid delays or cost overruns related to software development. READ MORE

  5. 13. Biological ageing and kidney transplantation

    Author : Helen Erlandsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the impact of biological ageing in patients with chronic kidney disease, the effect of kidney transplantation on biological ageing and longterm outcome in patients with kidney failure. We used the national Swedish renal registry (SNR), ScandiaTransplant´s database YASWA, patient records and different methods to analyze biological ageing and circulatory microbiota to address this aim.

  6. 14. Knee joint laxity and kinematics after anterior cruciate ligament rupture : roentgen stereophotogrammetric and clinical evaluation before and after treatment

    Author : Håkan Jonsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anterior cruciate ligament; Kinematics; Anterior-posterior laxity; Surgery; Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis; Muscle strength; Functional tests;

    Abstract : Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) increases anterior-posterior (AP) laxity. The treatment aims to reduce or teach the patient to control this instability. Altered kinematics due to absent ligament function may result in knee arthrosis. This study evaluated the clinical and functional results of reconstructive surgery. READ MORE

  7. 15. Electron beam melting: Impact of part surface properties on metal fatigue and bone ingrowth

    Author : Rebecca Klingvall Ek; Lars-Erik Rännar; Mikael Bäckström; Jaan Hong; Ola Harrysson; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Additive Manufacturing AM ; Electron Beam Melting EBM ; As-built surfaces; Bone Ingrowth; Metall Fatigue; Machined Surfaces; Hirtisation; Hot Isostatic Pressing HIP ;

    Abstract : AbstractThe aim of this thesis is to investigate aspects on how additive manufacturing (AM) contributes to functional bone implants with the use of the electron beam melting (EBM) technology. AM manufactures parts according to computer-aided design, and the EBM technology melts powder using an electron beam, which acts similar to a laser beam. READ MORE
