1. Disordered matter: From Ionic Glasses to Proteins
Sammanfattning : Understanding the glassy state is regarded as one of the ten most important questions in physics in the 21st century [1]. This thesis deals with structure and dynamics of a few model disordered systems ranging from an ionic glass to proteins. The structure of an ionic liquid, Ca0.4K0. LÄS MER
2. Tissue Blood Flow Responses to External Pressure Using LDF and PPG : Testing a System Developed for Pressure Ulcer Research
Sammanfattning : Background: Pressure ulcers are a problem for immobile individuals, and having pressure ulcers impact and restrict the daily and are often associated with pain. Pressure ulcers occur frequently and cause high costs for the health care system. LÄS MER
3. Respiratory monitoring using reflection mode photoplethysmography : clinical and physiological aspects
Sammanfattning : Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a non-invasive optical technique for monitoring variations in blood volume and blood flow in skin and other tissues. Light from a light-emitting diode is absorbed, scattered and reflected from the skin, and detected by a photodetector as a plethysmogram. The plethysmogram contains variations of different frequencies. LÄS MER
4. Photoplethysmography in multiparameter monitoring of cardiorespiratory function
Sammanfattning : Photoplethysmography (PPG) is an optical, non-invasive method to assess tissue blood volume/perfusion. When measured on human skin, the PPG signal includes both cardiac synchronous variations (AC) and respiratory induced intensity variations (RIIV). LÄS MER
5. Non-invasive techniques for assessment of peripheral blood flow at different vascular depths
Sammanfattning : Missing or reduced blood flow can lead to pressure ulcers. Monitoring blood flow in areas prone to pressure ulcer development would be a valuable tool for prevention of pressure ulcers. PPG and LDF are both established non invasive optical techniques that can be used to estimate the changes in blood flow in different tissue volumes. LÄS MER
