  2. 11. Technical Aspects of Laparoscopic Liver Resection. An Experimental Study

    Author : Kristinn Eiriksson; Dag Arvidsson; Sten Rubertsson; Bjørn Edwin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gas embolism; laparoscopy; liver resection; pneumoperitoneum; carbon dioxide; argon; bleeding; stapling device;

    Abstract : Various techniques are used to transect the liver. With increase in laparoscopic liver resections (LLR), it is of even more interest to develop surgical techniques to minimize bleeding and the risk for gas embolism during transection. Instrument like argon enhanced coagulator provides good hemostasis but increases the danger of gas embolism. READ MORE

  4. 12. Usability Requirements for User-Controlled Robotic Eating Aids

    Author : Ann-Louise Lindborg; Maria Lindén; Albert Westergren; Annica Kristoffersson; Martin Ekström; Johan Blomkvist; Mälardalens universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; robotic eating aid; eating device; eating aid; usability requirement; user centered design; elektronik; Electronics;

    Abstract : The meal is fundamental in terms of nutrition but also from a social perspective. To be able to eat independently is described as important for the meal experience.  The development of a robotic eating aid called Bestic and the evolvement of a list of usability criteria for such an aid are described in this thesis.

  5. 13. Clinical and quality aspects of native and transplant kidney biopsies in Sweden

    Author : Björn Peters; Bernd Stegmayr; Ingela Fehrman-Ekholm; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Native and transplant kidney biopsies; biopsy complications; risk factors; patients’ safety; biopsy needles; Resistive Index; IgA-nephritis.; Internal Medicine; invärtesmedicin;

    Abstract : Percutaneous kidney biopsies have been performed since 1944 to establish diagnoses and treatment. Risk factors based on a limited amount of data have shown age, blood pressure, kidney function and needle size as some risk factors for biopsy complications. READ MORE

  6. 14. Fabrication and characterization of ZnO nanostructures for sensing and photonic device applications

    Author : Syed M. Usman Ali; Magnus Willander; Omer Nour; Frank Bier; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanotechnology; zinc oxide; nanowires nanorods; nanotubes; nanoporous nanoflakes; electrochemical sensor and photonic devices;

    Abstract : Nanotechnology is an emerging inter-disciplinary paradigm which encompasses diverse fields of science and engineering converge at the nanoscale. This nanoscale science and nanostructure engineering have well demonstrated in the fabrication of sensors/transducers devices with faster response time and better sensitivity then the planer version of the sensor’s configurations.

  7. 15. A novel drug and device in anesthesia : with focus on breathing and upper airway physiology

    Author : Åse Lodenius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Anesthesia-related airway complications are associated with hypoxia due to inability to secure or maintain the airway with subsequent insufficient ventilation and gas exchange. This thesis has explored the impact on airway integrity and respiratory regulation of two anesthetic compounds frequently used for sedation and a novel principle for oxygenation in patients at risk of hypoxia, in order to further improve patient safety during sedation and induction of anesthesia.
