  2. 21. Assemblies of Pervasive Services

    Author : David Svensson Fors; Institutionen för datavetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Pervasive computing is a vision about computers blending into the background, being there to assist us when we need them, but not requiring constant attention. The vision covers scenarios in the home, at work, and out in the street, and builds on the ongoing development towards an increasing number of embedded computers with network connectivity. READ MORE

  4. 22. Electromagnetic Modeling and Sensitivity-Based Optimization of Medical Devices

    Author : Oskar Talcoth; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; helical conductors; optimal measurements; thin-wire approximation; inverse problems; Convex optimization; pacemakers; design of experiments; MR safety; multi-scale; magnetic resonance imaging; magnetic tracking; optimal sensor placement;

    Abstract : Electromagnetics is a fundamental part of biomedical engineering and modern healthcare due to the electromagnetic nature of several important processes in the human body and the interactions of electromagnetic fields with the human body. As a consequence, electromagnetics is exploited for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes by a multitude of medical devices. READ MORE

  5. 23. Swedish operating room nurses preventive interventions to reduce bacterial growth, surgical site infections, and increase comfort in patients undergoing surgery

  6. 24. Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation : effects on rhythm, symptoms and health-related quality of life

    Author : Anna Björkenheim; Dritan Poçi; Deirdre Lane; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; catheter ablation; symptoms; quality of life;

    Abstract : Background: AF ablation is an increasingly used treatment in patients with AF to improve patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Atrioventricular junction ablation (AVJA) is a palliative treatment option in therapy refractory AF that improves PROs but renders the patient pacemaker dependent. READ MORE

  7. 25. Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement

    Author : Magnus Dalén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (AVR) through a ministernotomy has been developed as an alternative approach to conventional full sternotomy AVR. During recent years, sutureless aortic bioprostheses were introduced with the aim to facilitate implantation, especially in minimally invasive procedures. READ MORE
