2. 1. Advanced surgeries, medicines and materials for corneal regeneration

   Author : Maria Xeroudaki; Neil Lagali; Beatrice Bourghardt Peebo; Per Fagerholm; Stefan Schrader; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Corneal transplantation is often the only treatment option in cases of corneal blindness, with the main challenges being the scarcity of human donors, risk for graft failure and suboptimal visual outcome due to suture-related issues. Alternative therapies are sought that either address the above transplantation issues directly or stimulate the cornea’s repair mechanism and regenerative properties to restore transparency without the need for transplantation.

4. 2. Breast reconstruction with biological graft : clinical outcomes in the setting of breast cancer treatment

   Author : Fredrik Lohmander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in implant-based breast reconstructions (IBBR) in the setting of breast cancer treatment. ADM refers to a surgical mesh developed from human or animal skin, and was initially applied in surgeries where soft tissue was deficient (e.g. READ MORE

5. 3. A new generation of hospital operating room ventilation

   Author : Parastoo Sadeghian; Sasan Sadrizadeh; Catherine Noakes; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ventilation systems; bacteria-carrying particles; airflow behaviour; operating room; computational fluid dynamics; surgical site infection; Ventilationssystem; bakteriebärande partiklar; luftflödesbeteende; operationsrum; numerisk strömningsmekanik; kirurgirelaterad infektion; Strömnings- och klimatteori; Fluid and Climate Theory;

   Abstract : Surgical site infection is responsible for 38 percent of reported infections after surgery. This infection increases mortality and treatment costs, and prolongs the hospitalization of patients. READ MORE

6. 4. Plasminogen in periodontitis and wound repair

   Author : Rima Sulniute; Tor Ny; Daniel A Lawrence; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The plasminogen activator (PA) system plays a critical role in many physiological and pathological processes, such as fibrinolysis, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, wound healing, inflammation, and cancer. The key component of the PA system is plasmin, a broad-spectrum serine protease that is derived from its inactive form, plasminogen. READ MORE

   Abstract : The history of surgery is nearly as old as the human race. Control of wound infection has always been an essential part of any surgical procedure, and is still an important challenge in hospital operating rooms today. For patients undergoing surgery there is always a risk that they will develop some kind of postoperative complication. READ MORE
