  2. 21. Aspects on Mechanisms, Treatment and Outcome in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

    Author : Teodor Svedung Wettervik; Anders Lewén; Per Enblad; Elham Rostami; Lars-Owe Koskinen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Autoregulation; clinical outcome; energy metabolism; multimodality monitoring; neurointensive-care; traumatic brain injury; Neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

    Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause for mortality and morbidity worldwide. The primary injury has great impact on patient outcome and cannot be cured, but attentive neurointensive care (NIC) may reduce detrimental secondary brain injuries and is the focus of this thesis.

  4. 22. Development of a Sel-tag for multimodality imaging and studies of mammalian thioredoxin reductase 1

    Author : Qing Cheng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Selenocysteine (Sec; U in one-letter code), the 21st amino acid existing in all selenoproteins, has unique biochemical properties due to its selenium atom, including a low pKa and a high reactivity with many electrophilic agents. When a selenoprotein is translated, the insertion of Sec occurs at a UGA codon, normally yielding translational termination. READ MORE

  5. 23. Modelling late toxicity in hypofractionated radiation therapy

    Author : Niclas Pettersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hypofractionation; normal tissue complication probability; modelling; linear-quadratic model; fractionation sensitivity; late toxicity; radiation-induced rib fracture; genitourinary toxicity; stereotactic body radiation therapy; high-dose-rate brachytherapy; multimodality radiation therapy; patient-reported outcomes; prostate cancer; nsclc;

    Abstract : In hypofractionated radiation therapy (RT), the treatment is delivered by few fractions with high doses per fraction. This is in contrast to conventionally fractionated RT where the total dose is delivered in many fractions with low doses per fraction. READ MORE

  6. 24. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) as a multimodality imaging probe for sentinel nodes : Design and Preclinical Evaluation

    Author : Renata Madru; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : iron oxide; nanoparticles; SPIONs; PET-MRI; SPECT-MRI; SPECT-MRI- optical imaging; sentinel lymph node; SNL;

    Abstract : Breast cancer and malignant melanoma disseminate through the lymphatic system and the first metastases arise in one or two regional, sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) draining the primary tumour site. Therefore, identification and characterization of the SLNs is of major importance for cancer staging and for choice of therapy in patients. READ MORE

  7. 25. Quality systems to avoid secondary brain injury in neurointensive care

    Author : Lena Nyholm; Per Enblad; Camilla Fröjd; Anders Lewén; Bo-Michael Bellander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Traumatic brain injury; Subarachnoid hemorrhage; Intracranial pressure; Quality register; Checklist; Nursing interventions; Pressure autoregulation; Intracranial compliance; Hyperthermia; Cerebral energy metabolism; Microdialysis and Brain tissue oxygenation.; Neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

    Abstract : Outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI) depends on the extent of primary cell death and on the development of secondary brain injury. The general aim of this thesis was to find strategies and quality systems to minimize the extent of secondary insults in neurointensive care (NIC). READ MORE
