  1. 16. Prevention and prediction of head and neck injury in traffic accidents - using experimental and numerical methods

    Författare :Peter Halldin; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Head injuries; neck injuries; prevention; roll-over; motorcycle; helmet;

    Sammanfattning : Injuries to the head and neck system are potentially amongthe most serious injuries in humans, since they may damage thespinal cord. It is therefore important to develop safetysystems that can prevent injuries to the neuro- system, therebyreducing human suffering and costs to society. LÄS MER

  3. 17. An Average Female Head-Neck Finite Element Model with Reflexive Neck Muscles

    Författare :I Putu Alit Putra; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite Element; Human Body Model; Whiplash Injury; Active Neck Muscle;

    Sammanfattning : Several factors potentially contribute to the risk of whiplash injuries; one of them is the neck muscle activities. Muscle activities in the neck have been shown to influence the head-neck kinematics during whiplash-like rear impacts. LÄS MER

  4. 18. PET in the evaluation of head and neck cancer treatment - management of the neck

    Författare :Johanna Sjövall; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Head and neck cancer; positron emission tomography; radiotherapy; treatment evaluation;

    Sammanfattning : The treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is surgery or (chemo)radiotherapy +/- surgery. Side effects related to therapy are long lasting and adversely affects quality of life. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Radioimmunodiagnosis of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas : Preclinical Studies

    Författare :Karl Sandström; Matti Anniko; Marika Nestor; Hans Lundqvist; Göran Laurell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Head and neck squamos cell carcinoma; radioimmunotargeting; radioimmunodiagnosis; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Despite improvements in treatment, the prognosis for patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) has only improved to a minor degree. To raise the success rate and minimize morbidity further developments in diagnostics are highly desired. Radioimmunodiagnosis could offer a more specific and sensitive diagnostic method. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Towards a microwave hyperthermia system for head and neck tumors

    Författare :Pegah Takook; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; head and neck tumors.; wideband antenna; time reversal; treat- ment planning; microwave hyperthermia;

    Sammanfattning : Hyperthermia has shown the ability to enhance the performance of radiotherapyand chemotherapy in many clinical trials. The incidence of increased tissue toxicityas a result of high radiotherapy dose, made hyperthermia as a safe methodin combination with radiotherapy to enhance the treatment outcome. LÄS MER
