2. 21. Automatic Melanoma Diagnosis in Dermoscopic Imaging Base on Deep Learning System

   Author : Yali Nie; Jan Lundgren; Mattias O'Nils; Claes Lundström; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Melanoma classification; computer vision; Deep learning; CNN;

   Abstract : Melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. Unfortunately, its incidence rates have been increasing all over the world. One of the techniques used by dermatologists to diagnose melanomas is an imaging modality called dermoscopy. The skin lesion is inspected using a magnification device and a light source. READ MORE

4. 22. Prediction of Medical Device Usability Problems and Use Errors - An Improved Analytical Methodical Approach

   Author : Lars-Ola Bligård; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Methodological Research; Usability; Human Error; Medical Equipment;

   Abstract : The aim of medical care is to make people healthier, and this is pursued with great success today. Unfortunately, medical care also entails injuries to certain patients. Some of these injuries are caused by use errors. Research has shown that lack of usability of medical equipment is a strongly contributing cause of use errors. READ MORE

5. 23. Development of Techniques for Characterization, Detection and Protein Profiling of Extracellular Vesicles

   Author : Sara Cavallaro; Jan Linnros; Apurba Dev; Hakho Lee; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; extracellular vesicles; streaming current; fluorescence microscopy; atomic force microscopy; scanning electron microscopy; protein profiling; size profiling; Biological and Biomedical Physics; Biologisk och biomedicinsk fysik;

   Abstract : Nanosized extracellular vesicles (EVs, ∼30-2000 nm) have emerged as important mediators of intercellular communication, offering opportunities for both diagnostics and therapeutics. In particular, small EVs generated from the endolysosomal pathway (∼30-150 nm), referred to as exosomes, have attracted interest as a suitable biomarker for cancer diagnostics and treatment monitoring based on minimally invasive liquid biopsies.

6. 24. Microfluidic and Molecular Tools for Genetic Analyses

   Author : Henrik Johansson; Mats Nilsson; Ivo Gut; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microfluidics; PCR; sequencing; cancer genetics; Molecular medicine genetics and pathology ; Molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; Medical Genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

   Abstract : Methods that enable interrogation of multiple genomic regions in parallel are very useful for efficient detection of genetic variation. Two different types of probes are described in this thesis that can be used for direct analysis or for sample preparation upstream of Next Generation Sequencing. READ MORE

7. 25. Advanced all-fiber optofluidic devices

   Author : Sebastian Etcheverry Cabrera; Fredrik Laurell; Markus Schmidt; KTH; []
