1. Unpacking Rational Use of Antibiotics : Policy in Medical Practice and the Medical Debate
Sammanfattning : Rational use of antibiotics–using antibiotics only when needed and in the right way–is a prioritized goal in policy aimed at preventing antimicrobial resistance. A vast body of research is devoted to understanding why unnecessary antibiotics are prescribed. LÄS MER
2. Characterizing the pancreatic "isletome" : 3D optical imaging to study diabetes
Sammanfattning : The pancreas is a specialised multipurpose organ, that can be separated into two major compartments: endocrine and exocrine. The exocrine part makes up the majority of the organ volume and functions to secrete digestive enzymes into the small intestine. LÄS MER
3. Guidance and Visualization for Brain Tumor Surgery
Sammanfattning : Image guidance and visualization play an important role in modern surgery to help surgeons perform their surgical procedures. Here, the focus is on neurosurgery applications, in particular brain tumor surgery where a craniotomy (opening of the skull) is performed to access directly the brain region to be treated. LÄS MER
4. Minimally Invasive Catheter-Based Technologies
Sammanfattning : A simple incision procedure in a blood vessel makes the entire vascular system accessible. Through contrast injection and X-ray visualization, the vascular tree can be mapped and navigated through manual manipulation of thin tubes and wires. LÄS MER
5. Development of DNA-based methods for analysis of protein interactions
Sammanfattning : In situ proximity ligation assay (PLA) is a method for detection of protein interactions, post-translational modifications (PTMs) and individual proteins that allows information about their localization in a cell or tissue to be extracted. The method is based on oligonucleotide-conjugated antibodies (proximity probes) that upon binding of two epitopes in close proximity give rise to an amplifiable DNA circle. LÄS MER
