1. 6. Antibodies for better or worse or Antibody variability in an egg-laying mammal and a novel strategy in the treatment of allergies

   Författare :Jeannette Johansson; Kjell-Olov Grönvik; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Antibody; variability; platypus; allergy; vaccine; adjuvant; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Molecular Immunology; molekylär immunologi;

   Sammanfattning : Antibodies are a central part of the immune defense system, and a large variability in their specificity is needed in order to be able to react against all possible foreign substances we may encounter during our lives. In this thesis, results are presented from investigations into how an egg-laying mammal, the Australian duck-billed platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) creates antibody variability. LÄS MER

3. 7. Skull base meningioma : Surgical and adjuvant treatment with clinical and PET evaluation

   Författare :Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Meningioma; cerebellopontine angle; translabyrinthine and transcochlear approaches; facial nerve; steretactic irradiation; proton beam therapy; interferon- alpha; PET; 11C-L-methionine; 76BR-BrdU; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Medicine; medicin;

   Sammanfattning : The treatment strategy for skull base meningiomas remains a controversial issue. Because of the proximity of these tumours to critical neurovascular structures, the risk for vascular damage and new cranial neuropathies postoperatively is significant. LÄS MER

4. 8. Towards UWB microwave hyperthermia for brain cancer treatment

   Författare :Massimiliano Zanoli; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; treatment planning; microwave hyperthermia; brain cancer;

   Sammanfattning : Despite numerous clinical trials demonstrating that microwave hyperthermia is a powerful adjuvant modality in the treatment of cancers, there have been few instances where this method has been applied to brain tumors. The reason is a combination of anatomical and physiological factors in this site that require an extra degree of accuracy and control in the thermal dose delivery which current systems are not able to provide.

5. 9. Ultra wideband microwave hyperthermia for brain cancer treatment

   Författare :Massimiliano Zanoli; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ultra wideband; treatment planning; brain cancer; applicator design; time reversal; microwave hyperthermia;

   Sammanfattning : Despite numerous clinical trials demonstrating that microwave hyperthermia is a powerful adjuvant modality in the treatment of cancers, there have been few instances where this method has been applied to brain tumors. The reason is a combination of anatomical and physiological factors in this site that require an extra degree of accuracy and precision in the thermal dose delivery. LÄS MER

7. 10. Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer : costs and benefits of time, dose and volume

   Författare :Karin Söderström; Björn Zackrisson; Werner Dubrowsky; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiotherapy; head and neck cancer; adjuvant treatment; accelerated fractionation; biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap; Biomedical Radiation Science;

   Sammanfattning : Background In the treatment of head and neck cancers (HNCs), radiotherapy (RT) has the advantage of organ preservation compared to surgery. However, treatment toxicities associated with RT can affect important functions for everyday life, both in the acute and late stage. LÄS MER
