  1. 16. Different perspectives of living with osteoarthritis and outcomes after knee arthroplasty

    Författare :Josefina Skogö Nyvang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease affecting the population increasingly with age. Living with OA and pain can cause severe distress in an individual’s life and expectations of outcome after joint replacement surgery are generally high. LÄS MER

  3. 17. An integrative systems biology study to understand immune aging in people living with HIV

    Författare :Flora Mikaeloff; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces viral replication, restores T helper cells and improves the survival of people living with HIV (PWH), transforming a life-threatening disease into a manageable chronic infection. Nevertheless, PWH under ART shows aging-related diseases such as bone abnormalities, non-HIV-associated cancers, and cardiovascular and neurocognitive diseases. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Architecting Smart Home Environments for Healthcare : A Database-Centric Approach

    Författare :Wagner Ourique de Morais; Bertil Svensson; Nicholas Wickström; Diego López-de-Ipiña González-de-Artaza; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Smart environments; system architectures; active databases; in-database processing; ambient assisted living;

    Sammanfattning : The development of system architectures and applications for smart homes and ambient assisted living has been the main activity of a number of academic and industrial research projects around the world. Existing system architectures for smart environments usually employ different architectural styles in a multi-layer logical architecture to support the integration and interoperation of heterogeneous hardware and software technologies, which are subsequently used to provide two major functionalities: monitoring and assistance.

  5. 19. Nutritional status, body composition and physical activity among older people living in residential care facilities

    Författare :Maine Carlsson; Yngve Gustafson; Frode Slinde; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Nutritional status; constipation; BW loss; UTI; body composition; exercise; muscle mass; functional balance; Nutrition; Näringslära; näringslära; Nutrition;

    Sammanfattning : The main purpose of this thesis was to study, whether drinkable yoghurt enriched with probiotic bacteria could have any effect on constipation and body weight (BW) among older people with dementia. Further, it concerns poor nutritional status among older people with physical and cognitive impairments and its relationship with factors commonly occur in older people living in residential care facilities.

  7. 20. Mapping the proteome with data-driven methods: A cycle of measurement, modeling, hypothesis generation, and engineering

    Författare :Filip Buric; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tensor factorization; mass spectrometry; model interpretation; sequence feature engineering; deep learning; proteomics; machine learning; data-independent acquisition; feature learning;

    Sammanfattning : The living cell exhibits emergence of complex behavior and its modeling requires a systemic, integrative approach if we are to thoroughly understand and harness it. The work in this thesis has had the more narrow aim of quantitatively characterizing and mapping the proteome using data-driven methods, as proteins perform most functional and structural roles within the cell.
