  2. 1. Postoperative sore throat and hoarseness : clinical studies in patients undergoing general anasthesia

    Author : Maria Jaensson; Ulrica Nilsson; Anil Gupta; Jonas Åkeson; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hoarseness; postoperative; complication; endotracheal; tube; laryngeal mask airway; gender; risk factor.; Vårdvetenskap; Nursing Science;

    Abstract : A common problem following general anesthesia is postoperative sore throat (POST) and postoperative hoarseness (PH). Symptoms directly correlated with less satisfaction according to the patients. READ MORE

  4. 2. Method for inductive case-based decision support system over the Internet : exemplified by ear, nose and throat diagnostics in primary care

    Author : Tom af Klercker; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : This thesis is an example of an ear to loaf process:A Preliminary Essential Data Set (PEDS) for Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) diagnostics in Primary Health Care (PHC) was established by infologic modelling of existing tractates, between the specialist organisations of ENT and PHC, and four contemporary text-books on the subject (I). The PEDS was then compared to the aggregated data from a sample of case-files from a Swedish PHC centre. READ MORE

  5. 3. Microbiologic diagnostic tests when asymptomatic carriers are present. Aspects of the use of conventional throat and nasopharyngeal culture as examples

    Author : Ronny K Gunnarsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Carriage; respiratory tract infections; predictive value of tests; epidemiology; decision making; streptococcal infections; Streptococcus pyogenes; tonsillitis;

    Abstract : Carriers of potentially pathogenic bacteria simultaneously ill from a viral infection complicatethe diagnostic procedure in respiratory tract infections. The present statistical methodsavailable to evaluate common diagnostic tests either ignore the phenomenon of carriers orprovide test characteristics that are difficult to apply in clinical decision making.

  6. 4. Design optimisation of aeroengine compressor blades

    Author : Jörgen Burman; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Optimisation of multistage axial compressors is a time-demanding challenge in large need of effective methods. Traditionally, the design has been based on "trial-and-error" procedures, which count on the skills and experience of the designer to suggest redesigns that are likely to yield improvements.

  7. 5. A study of the fatigue behaviour of laser and hybrid laser welds

    Author : Md. Minhaj Alam; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Manufacturing Systems Engineering; Produktionsutveckling;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis focuses on the fatigue cracking behaviour of laser and hybrid laser-MAG welded structures. Beside the welding process and the resulting weld, several topics related to fatigue of welded structures are treated such as; macro and micro surface geometry, weld defects and their influence on fatigue performance of welded structures, fatigue analysis by the nominal and effective notch stress method, fatigue life prediction using LEFM (Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics), fatigue testing, metallurgical analysis, elastic and elastic-plastic finite element analysis.
