  1. 1. Computational Models in Deep Brain Stimulation : Patient‐Specific Simulations, Tractography, and Group Analysis

    Författare :Teresa Nordin; Karin Wårdell; Simone Hemm-Ode; Johannes D. Johansson; Harith Akram; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anisotropy; Deep brain stimulation DBS ; Finite element method FEM ; Patient‐specific simulation; Probabilistic stimulation maps PSM ; Tractography;

    Sammanfattning : Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established method for symptom relief in movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor (ET), and dystonia. The therapy is based on implanting an electrode with four contacts in the deep brain structures where it provides electrical stimulation, mainly impacting the nerve tracts. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Internet of Things is expanding to the areas such as healthcare, home management, industrial, agriculture, and becoming pervasive in our life, resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefits. Smart sensors with embedded interfacing integrated circuits (ICs) are important enablers, hence, variety of smart sensors are required. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Mathematical modeling for optimization of Deep Brain Stimulation

    Författare :Rubén Cubo; Alexander Medvedev; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot reglerteknik; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Automatic Control;

    Sammanfattning : Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) consists of sending mild electric stimuli to the brain via a chronically implanted lead. The therapy is used to alleviate the symptoms of different neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's Disease. However, its underlying biological mechanism is currently unknown. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Photodynamic therapy- pain and aspects of pain relief

    Författare :Christina Halldin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :actinic keratosis; field cancerization; interviews; nerve block; pain; photodynamic therapy; transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation;

    Sammanfattning : Photodynamic therapy – pain and aspects of pain relief Christina Halldin Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Institute of Clinical Sciences at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden ABSTRACT Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment option for superficial basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ or Bowen’s disease (BD), and actinic keratoses (AK). One of the advantages of PDT is the possibility to treat field cancerization. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Interventions for urinary incontinence in women : survey and effects on population and patient level

    Författare :Karin Franzén; Kerstin Nilsson; Jan-Erik Johansson; Ian Milsom; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urinary incontinence; female; general living conditions; self-management; electrical stimulation; quality of life questionnaire; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Urinary Incontinence is a common health problem that can cause both severe medical and social problems, resulting in negative impact on different aspects of Quality of Life. In 2000, the Swedish Council on Health Technology Assessment (SBU) published a systematic review, “Treatment of Urinary Incontinence” where multiple knowledge gaps in the field of UI, all of considerable clinical importance, were pointed out.
