  2. 11. Sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer : aspects on validation, diagnostics and lymphatic drainage pattern

    Author : Fuat Celebioglu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Axillary lymph node status is the most important pathological determinant of prognosis in early breast cancer. Determination of axillary status is crucial in clinical decision-making. Total axillary lymphadenectomy is generally accepted as a reliable staging procedure. READ MORE

  4. 12. Photon migration in tissue : laser induced fluorescence for cancer diagnostics and influence of optical properties on microvascular Doppler spectroscopy

    Author : Henrik Nilsson; Othar Svaasand Svansand; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Laser induced flourescence (LIF) is an "optical biopsy" method, based on the selective accumulation of fluorophores in neoplastic tissue. Two recently developed, non-photosensitizing tumor seeking carotenoporphyrins were assessed regarding tumor selectivity, and biodistribution, in experimental animals. READ MORE

  5. 13. Non-linear Optical Microscopy and Spectroscopy for Biomedical Studies

    Author : Stina Guldbrand; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Two-Photon Excitation Microscopy; Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy; Multiphoton Luminescence; Human Skin; Gold nanoparticles;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on the application of non-linear optical microscopy and spectroscopy techniques within biomedical research. Non-linear optical microscopy gives the possibility of exciting fluorophores using near infrared light. READ MORE

  6. 14. Light scattering and absorption in tissue - models and measurements

    Author : Annika M K Enejder; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tissue optical properties; Light absorption; Fluorescence spectroscopy; Atomic and molecular physics; NIR spectroscopy; Fysicumarkivet A:1997:Enejder; Light scattering; Atom- och molekylärfysik;

    Abstract : In this work a number of theoretical models, describing light propagation in matter, have been applied to and developed for the examination of tissue. The aim was to model the light scattering and absorption in tissue in order to improve the understanding of underlying mechanisms of laser-based diagnostics and treatment modalities utilised for cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

  7. 15. Methods for Analyzing Genomes

    Author : Patrik L. Ståhl; Joakim Lundeberg; Ivo Gut; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; array; sequence capture; genotyping; trinucleotide threading; sequencing; massively parallel sequencing; single molecule sequencing; Visual DNA; p53; single nucleotide polymorphism; biomarker; Genetics; Genetik;

    Abstract : The human genome reference sequence has given us a two‐dimensional blueprint of our inherited code of life, but we need to employ modern‐day technology to expand our knowledge into a third dimension. Inter‐individual and intra‐individual variation has been shown to be larger than anticipated, and the mode of genetic regulation more complex. READ MORE
