  1. 1. 3D modelling of epidermal nerve fiber patterns

    Författare :Konstantinos Konstantinou; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diabetic neuropathy; Anisotropy; point processes.; epidermal nerve fibers;

    Sammanfattning : Neuropathical disorders, such as diabetic neuropathy, damage the nerve structure in the epidermis. This thesis presents statistical analyses and models for the epidermal nerve fibers (ENFs). The main objective is to improve our understanding regarding the three dimensional ENF structure and for this purpose, stochastic models are constructed. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Statistical methods for early discovery of diabetic neuropathy using epidermal nerve fiber data

    Författare :Claes Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; Göteborgs universitet; Gothenburg University; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Diabetic neuropathy; Epidermal nerve fibers; Hierarchical models; Point processes; Reactive territory; Diabetic neuropathy;

    Sammanfattning : The main aim with the work in this thesis is to increase the understanding of the effects diabetic neuropathy has on the epidermal nerve fibers and thereby find methods to detect the disorder at an earlier stage. Epidermal nerve fibers (ENFs) are small sensory nerve fibers in the skin, sensing heat and pain. LÄS MER

Tillämpad matematik och statistik.; CTH; hierarchical models; Bayesian estimation; epidermal nerve fibers; cluster processes; spatial point processes; diabetic neuropathy;

    Sammanfattning : Diabetic neuropathy is a condition associated with diabetes affecting the epidermal nerve fibers (ENFs). This thesis presents analysis methods and models for ENF data, with two main puroposes: to find early signs of diabetic neuropathy and to characterize how this condition changes the nerve fiber structure.
