  2. 6. Assessment of lumbar radicular pain. Validity and predictive value of clinical tests

    Author : Harald Ekedahl; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Low back pain; validity; predictive value of test; radicular pain; transforaminal injection;

    Abstract : Radicular pain is in the majority of cases caused by a disc herniation with a coexisting inflammation. It is characterized by positive neural tension tests, such as the Slump test, and by decreased range of motion (ROM) in the straight leg raising test (SLR) and lumbar flexion (Fingertip-to-floor test[FTF]).

  4. 7. Calibration of Probabilistic Predictive Models

    Author : David Widmann; Fredrik Lindsten; Meelis Kull; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical Statistics; Matematisk statistik;

    Abstract : Predicting unknown and unobserved events is a common task in many domains. Mathematically, the uncertainties arising in such prediction tasks can be described by probabilistic predictive models. Ideally, the model estimates of these uncertainties allow us to distinguish between uncertain and trustworthy predictions. READ MORE

  5. 8. Fusing Domain Knowledge with Data : Applications in Bioinformatics

    Author : Claes Andersson; Jan Komorowski; Mats Gustafsson; Yves Moreau; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Bioinformatics; cell cycle; cancer chemotherapy; predictive tests; performance estimation; bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

    Abstract : Massively parallel measurement techniques can be used for generating hypotheses about the molecular underpinnings of a biological systems. This thesis investigates how domain knowledge can be fused to data from different sources in order to generate more sophisticated hypotheses and improved analyses. READ MORE

  6. 9. Model Predictive Control for Cooperative Rendezvous of Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles

    Author : Linnea Persson; Bo Wahlberg; Jonathan How; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Autonomous systems; Model Predictive Control; MPC; Autonomous landing; UAV; Unmanned Aerial Vehicle; Moving target; Quadcopter; Implementation; Variable Horizon MPC; Adaptive Horizon MPC; Autonom landning; Modell-prediktiv reglerteknik; quadcopter; autonoma system; MPC; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates cooperative maneuvers for aerial vehicles autonomously landing on moving platforms. The objective has been to develop methods for safely performing such landings on real systems subject to a variety of disturbances, as well as physical and computational constraints. READ MORE

  7. 10. Diagnosing colorectal cancer in primary care : the value of symptoms, faecal immunochemical tests, faecal calprotectin and anaemia

    Author : Cecilia Högberg; Mikael Lilja; Jörgen Månsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; faecal immunochemical tests; faecal calprotectin; anaemia; symptomatic patients; rectal bleeding; primary care;

    Abstract : Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in men and the second most common in women worldwide. Adenomas can be precursors to CRC, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can present with the same symptoms as CRC. The majority of patients with CRC initially consult primary care. READ MORE
