1. 1. Photodynamic Therapy utilizing Interstitial Light Delivery Combined with Spectroscopic Methods

   Författare :Marcelo Soto Thompson; Atomfysik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; onkologi; Cytologi; cancerology; oncology; Cytology; fiber optics; dosimetry; spectroscopy; tissue optics; laser-induced fluorescence; medical laser systems; Laserteknik; cancer; photodynamic therapy; interstitial; Laser technology; Fysicumarkivet A:2004:Soto Thompson;

   Sammanfattning : Since cancer continues to plague humanity there is large need for development of modalities for both diagnosis and therapy. Most of the currently available methods suffer from serious disadvantages. The treatments, e.g. LÄS MER

3. 2. Radiation therapy of upper gastrointestinal cancers with scanned proton beams : A treatment planning study

   Författare :Gracinda Mondlane; Albert Siegbahn; Michael Gubanski; Iuliana Toma-Dasu; Crister Ceberg; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Treatment planning; gastric cancer; liver metastases; photon beam therapy; proton beam therapy; dosimetric comparison; normal tissue complication probability; risk of radiation-induced secondary cancer; patient selection; Medical Radiation Physics; medicinsk strålningsfysik;

   Sammanfattning : Proton beam therapy (PBT), using scanned beams, is an emerging modality used for the treatment of cancer. The clinical advantages of PBT, compared to commonly used photon beam therapy, have been demonstrated in different studies. LÄS MER

4. 3. Pharmacological therapy of Helicobacter pylori infection

   Författare :Peter Unge; Arnold Berstad; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : The discovery of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) opened the doors to new insight and therapy for peptic ulcer disease. Earlier eradication treatment modalities based on bismuth compounds, with or without additional antimicrobials, were not well accepted mainly because of the, at least hypothetical, risks for neurological and/or renal side effects.

5. 4. Ultrasound, ions and combined modalities for increased local tumour cell death in radiation therapy

   Författare :Annica Jernberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Focused ultrasound; ionising radiation; high-LET; cisplatin; combined modalities; cell survival; cellular effects;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, new approaches to improve tumour therapy for patients with inoperable, radiation- and chemoresistant tumours were in focus. Ultrasound and ionising radiation, especially accelerated ions, are both non-invasive agents that have high precision and deep penetration in tissues, enabling increased dose to the tumour while sparing the normal tissues.

7. 5. Cognitive behavior therapy in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome

   Författare :Brjánn Ljótsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort combined with altered bowel habits and is associated with impaired quality of life. The prevalence of IBS in the general adult population is approximately 10%. LÄS MER
