  2. 1. Glucose degradation products in patients on hemodialysis : interventional studies

    Author : Bernd Ramsauer; Bernd Stegmayr; Henrik Hadimeri; Bengt Lindholm; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hemodialysis; advanced glycation end products; skin autofluorescence; plasma autofluorescence; glucose degradation products;

    Abstract : Hemodialysis (HD) is the most frequently used treatment for end-stage renal disease. Despite all efforts to improve the outcomes, the mortality of patients on HD is still high, and this especially is related to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). READ MORE

  4. 2. Spectroscopic Measurements and Fluorescence Imaging for Treatment and Diagnosis of Skin Cancer

    Author : Marica Ericson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the use of light for treatment and diagnosis of skin cancer. The occurrence of skin cancer is increasing worldwide, among the most common types being basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and actinic keratosis, a skin cancer precursor. READ MORE

  5. 3. On the use of light for the characterization and treatment of malignant tumours

    Author : Claes af Klinteberg; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Diffusion equation; Aminolevulinic acid; Protoporphyrin IX; Photodynamic therapy; Fluorescence spectroscopy; Fluorescence imaging; Laser-Doppler perfusion imaging; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Atomic and molecular physics; Multiple scattering; Tissue optics; Tissue optical properties; Fysicumarkivet A:1999:Klinteberg;

    Abstract : Some aspects on the use of light for tissue characterization and treatment of malignant tumours are discussed within this thesis. The work presented aims at improving optical techniques for tissue characterization, especially to detect malignant and pre-malignant lesions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Biological ageing and kidney transplantation

    Author : Helen Erlandsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the impact of biological ageing in patients with chronic kidney disease, the effect of kidney transplantation on biological ageing and longterm outcome in patients with kidney failure. We used the national Swedish renal registry (SNR), ScandiaTransplant´s database YASWA, patient records and different methods to analyze biological ageing and circulatory microbiota to address this aim.

  7. 5. Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Quantitative Demarcation of Glioblastoma Using 5-Aminolevulinic Acid

    Author : Neda Haj-Hosseini; Karin Wårdell; Göran Salerud; Peter E Andersen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Total resection of glioblastoma, the highly malignant brain tumor, is difficult to accomplish due to its diffuse growth and similarity to the surrounding brain tissue. A total resection is proven to increase patient survival. READ MORE
