1. A path along deep learning for medical image analysis : With focus on burn wounds and brain tumors
Sammanfattning : The number of medical images that clinicians need to review on a daily basis has increased dramatically during the last decades. Since the number of clinicians has not increased as much, it is necessary to develop tools which can help doctors to work more efficiently. LÄS MER
2. Long-term outcome after burn : Pruritus, pain, personality and perceived health
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigated the role of burn-specific and individual-related factors for long-term outcome after burn with emphasis on pruritus, pain, personality and perceived health.Consecutive adult patients, admitted to the Uppsala University Burn Center between 2000 and 2009, were included.

3. Pathogen colonisation, transmission and infection control measures in burn patients
Sammanfattning : Burn patients are susceptible to infections due to impaired natural defences when the epidermal barrier is damaged. Moreover, the trauma affects the patient's immune system through local and systemic inflammatory reactions. Adding to that, the need for intensive care treatment with multiple surgical interventions increases the risk of infection. LÄS MER
4. Perceived Physical and Psychological Outcome After Severe Burn Injury
Sammanfattning : There is very little data on physical and psychological long-term outcome after severe burn injury. The aim of the present thesis was to improve current instruments for assessment of these issues, to assess long-term outcome in a cohort of patients with burn injuries, and to explore the contribution of the individual factors of personality and coping on perceived outcome.

5. Large data and machine learning in analysis, diagnostics, and clinical decision making: applications in the treatment of burn injury
Sammanfattning : Burn injury is a common trauma globally. Large burns require fluid resuscitation, infection control, and specialized intensive care. The size of the burn and infections caused by resistant microbes are correlated to mortality, and accurate mortality predictions are important. LÄS MER
