  2. 1. Situating Simulators : The integration of simulations in medical practice

    Author : Ericka Johnson; Boel Berner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; reconstitution; medical simulators; simulations; situated learning; medical practice; apprenticeship; legitimate peripheral participation; intra-action; agency; medicinsk utbildning; simulering; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Abstract : This study examined the practices of integrating simulators into medical education. Simulators have been observed in use to discern how medical practices are created out of the simulations. Video recordings of the simulations have been analysed, complemented by interviews with instructors and students. READ MORE

  4. 2. Haptic and visual simulation of material cutting process : a study focused on bone surgery and the use of simulators for education and training

    Author : Magnus G. Eriksson; Jan Wikander; Ingela Nyström; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; surgical simulation; virtual reality; haptic feedback; surgical training; medical simulators; metrics; 3D visualization; Medical technology; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : A prototype of a haptic and virtual reality simulator has been developed for simulation of the bone milling and material removal process occurring in several operations, e.g. temporal bone surgery or dental milling. The milling phase of an operation is difficult, safety critical and very time consuming. READ MORE

  5. 3. SOX11 as a Cancer Biomarker - Expression and Regulatory Studies in B-cell Lymphomas and Ovarian Cancer

    Author : Elin Gustavsson; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SOX11; B-cell lymphomas; DNA methylation; cancer biomarkers; ovarian cancer;

    Abstract : It is estimated that one third of all people in Sweden will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. The outcome for a specific patient is related to early and correct diagnosis, and prediction of effective treatment regimens. Biomarkers are molecules that can aid the clinician in such decisions regarding diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies of Nuclear Fuel by Means of Nuclear Spectroscopic Methods

    Author : Peter Jansson; Roland Carchon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiation sciences; irradiated nuclear fuel; nuclear spectroscopy; tomography; safeguard; Strålningsvetenskap; Radiation biology; Strålningsbiologi; Kärnfysik; Nuclear Physics;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for characterization of nuclear fuel, both from an operator and authority point of view, motivates the development of new experimental and, preferable, non-destructive methods. In this thesis, some methods based on nuclear spectroscopic techniques are presented. READ MORE

  7. 5. Surgical Education Assessment of simulators for training and selection of trainees

    Author : Kristine Hagelsteen; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Laparoscopy; Simulation; 3D; Haptic feedback; Personnel Selection; Surgical training; interview methods; Professionalism; Professional competence; Remediation; Residency; Human factors; warning signs;

    Abstract : BackgroundApproximately 15 % of surgical patients in hospital are affected of an adverse event, which is a medical error caused by the health care system. Laparoscopy is the preferred surgical technique in common procedures. READ MORE
