2. 21. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction : patellar tendon, Gore-Tex, Kennedy LAD and tibia tunnel ingrowth

   Author : Olle Muren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Prospective studies; randomized controlled trials; anterior cruciate ligament; treatment outcome; osteoarthritis; knee; prostheses and implant; radiology; reconstructive surgical procedures.;

   Abstract : Anterior cruciate ligament injury can induce permanent functional impairment in the physically active individual. Different methods to repair or replace the tom ligament have been tried and investigated. This thesis investigates three principally different grafts used in ACL reconstruction; autogenous tendon, stent/augmentation and prosthetic. READ MORE

4. 22. Impact of peritoneal solute transport rate on nutritional status and clinical outcome in peritoneal dialysis patients

   Author : Sung Hee Chung; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Adequacy of dialysis; comorbid diseases; fluid removal; inflammation; mortality; malnutrition; peritoneal dialysis; peritoneal solute transport rate; residual renal function.;

   Abstract : The transport characteristics of the peritoneal membrane may be influenced by inflammation and various comorbid diseases (CMD) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. On the other hand, the peritoneal solute transport rate (PSTR) may influence patient characteristics such as nutritional status as well as the clinical outcome of PD patients. READ MORE

5. 23. Laser-Driven Particle Acceleration - Improving Performance Through Smart Target Design

   Author : Matthias Burza; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; wakefield; ultra-relativistic; ultra-intense; TNSA; Terawatt; sheath; proton; polarimetry; plasma mirror; plasma; Petawatt; particle; oscillation; Normarski; micromachining; LWFA; laser; interferometry; electron; contrast; acceleration; bubble; Fysicumarkivet A:2012:Burza;

   Abstract : Laser-driven particle acceleration makes use of sub-picosecond, pulsed, high-power laser systems, capable of producing intensities ~10^{19} W/cm^2 at the laser focus to form plasmas, and use ultra-relativistic and nonlinear dynamics to produce quasistatic acceleration fields. This allows electrons to be accelerated to ~100 MeV over sub-centimetre distances, while protons may be accelerated to the ~10 MeV regime. READ MORE

6. 24. Knowledge Translation in Vietnam : Evaluating facilitation as a tool for improved neonatal health and survival

   Author : Leif Eriksson; Lars Wallin; Lars-Åke Persson; Uwe Ewald; Kate Gerrish; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Knowledge translation; Facilitation; Neonatal mortality; Primary health care; Vietnam; International Health; Internationell hälsa;

   Abstract : Neonatal mortality remains a problem worldwide, despite the existence of low-cost and evidence-based interventions. Unfortunately, the translation of these interventions into practice is deficient. READ MORE

7. 25. AlN Thin Film Electroacoustic Devices

   Author : Gonzalo Fuentes Iriarte; I.V. Katardjiev; G.F. Iriarte; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik; Electrical engineering; electronics and photonics; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik; elektronik; Electronics;

   Abstract : Recently, the enormous growth in personal communications systems (PCS), satellite communication and various other forms of wireless data communication has made analogue frequency control a key issue as the operation frequency increases to the low/medium GHz range. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) electroacoustic devices are widely used today in a variety of applications both in consumer electronics as well as in specialized scientific and military equipment where frequency control is required.
