2. 1. New targeted therapies for malignant neural tumors : From systematic discovery to zebrafish models

   Author : Elin Almstedt; Sven Nelander; Rogier Versteeg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuroblastoma; glioblastoma; data integration; zebrafish models; precision medicine; Oncology; Onkologi; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Informatics; Medicinsk informatik; Farmakokinetik och läkemedelsterapi; Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

   Abstract : Cancers in the neural system presents a major health challenge. The most aggressive brain tumor in adults, glioblastoma, has a median survival of 15 months and few therapeutic options. High-risk neuroblastoma, a childhood tumor originating in the sympathetic nervous system, has a 5-year survival under 50%, despite extensive therapy. READ MORE

4. 2. Building Usability into Health Informatics : Development and Evaluation of Information Systems for Shared Homecare

   Author : Isabella Scandurra; Sabine Koch; Bengt Sandblad; Margareta Ehnfors; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; health informatics; participatory design; user centred design; homecare services; cooperative work; integrated health information systems; mobile devices; usability evaluation; Medical informatics; Medicinsk informatik;

   Abstract : How can we develop usable and work process-oriented ICT systems for shared homecare?Shared homecare involves different professionals, consists of mobile work and requires immediate and ubiquitous access to patient-oriented information, supporting an integrated view on the care process.This thesis presents a new collaborative design method for user needs analysis and requirements specification in the context of health information systems development; the Multi-disciplinary Thematic Seminar (MdTS) method.

5. 3. Quantifying Gait Characteristics and Neurological Effects in people with Spinal Cord Injury using Data-Driven Techniques

   Author : Minh Truong; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Ruoli Wang; Emelie Butler Forslund; Åke Seiger; Peter Christian Raffalt; KTH; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gait analysis; pathological gait; biomechanics; health informatics; metabolic cost; unsupervised learning; nonparametric regression; shapley addictive explanations; gånganalys; funktionsnedsättning; gångpatologi; energiförbrukning; maskininlärning; hälsoinformatik; biomekanik; AI; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

   Abstract : Spinal cord injury, whether traumatic or nontraumatic, can partially or completely damage sensorimotor pathways between the brain and the body, leading to heterogeneous gait abnormalities. Mobility impairments also depend on other factors such as age, weight, time since injury, pain, and walking aids used. READ MORE
