  2. 1. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) interventions and outcome from colorectal surgery

    Author : Daniel Asklid; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Although immense progress has been made in the fields of chemo- and radiotherapy during the last decades, surgery is still the ultimate cure for the majority of patients with colorectal cancer. Since colorectal cancer most often presents at a high age and in patients often suffering from a large burden of comorbidity, it is important to develop strategies to improve postoperative recovery and outcome, not only for the patient, but also from a health economic perspective.

  4. 2. Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation with Cryo and Radiofrequency Concomitant to Mitral Valve Surgery : Clinical, Biochemical and Echocardiography Outcomes

    Author : Gabriella Boano; Farkas Vánky; Meriam Åström Aneq; Lena Jideus; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; Mitral valve surgery; Surgical ablation; Cox-Maze IV; Left atrium remodelling; 3D echocardiography;

    Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia seen in clinical practice. In cardiac surgery, the negative influence of AF on short- and long-term outcomes has made concomitant ablation procedures more common. READ MORE

  5. 3. Haptic and visual simulation of material cutting process : a study focused on bone surgery and the use of simulators for education and training

    Author : Magnus G. Eriksson; Jan Wikander; Ingela Nyström; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; surgical simulation; virtual reality; haptic feedback; surgical training; medical simulators; metrics; 3D visualization; Medical technology; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : A prototype of a haptic and virtual reality simulator has been developed for simulation of the bone milling and material removal process occurring in several operations, e.g. temporal bone surgery or dental milling. The milling phase of an operation is difficult, safety critical and very time consuming. READ MORE

  6. 4. Multimodal treatment of gastric cancer : assessment of tumor regression and the role of minimally invasive surgery

    Author : Andrianos Tsekrekos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The generally poor prognosis of advanced gastric cancer (AGC) has led to the development of multimodal therapeutic protocols in which surgery is combined with systemic treatment, perioperative chemotherapy being the preferred approach in Europe. In this context, there still are several issues that need to be addressed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mathematical Modelling of Dose Planning in High Dose-Rate Brachytherapy

    Author : Björn Morén; Torbjörn Larsson; Åsa Carlsson Tedgren; Sebastiaan Breedveld; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Cancer is a widespread type of diseases that each year affects millions of people. It is mainly treated by chemotherapy, surgery or radiation therapy, or a combination of them. One modality of radiation therapy is high dose-rate brachytherapy, used in treatment of for example prostate cancer and gynecologic cancer. READ MORE
