1. Laser treatment in glaucoma : efficacy and safety
Sammanfattning : Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and the major cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Although the pathogenesis of glaucoma is not completely understood, the most important risk factor for development and progression of the disease is an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). LÄS MER
2. Experimental vitreoretinal surgery in the rabbit eye - electrophysiology and morphology
Sammanfattning : The field of vitreoretinal surgery has expanded greatly over the last decades. A continuous refinement of surgical methods and instruments has increased the number of treatable retinal disorders. Vitrectomy, retinectomy and laser treatment are all part of the modern surgical arsenal. LÄS MER

5. Thermal endometrial destruction by means of a balloon catheter : experimental and clinical evaluation of a new form of treatment for menorrhagia
Sammanfattning : Thermal endometrial destruction by means of a silicone balloon catheter is a new form of treatment for menorrhagia aimed at reducing menstrual blood loss. The purpose of the present work was to study, experimentally, the thermal effects on and the thermal conductivity of uterine tissue, to obtain a basis for the estimation of optimal treatment conditions by means of numerical analyses using a computer simulation model, to elucidate possible problems which may arise during the procedure, to evaluate how the patients tolerated this treatment and to judge which patients were suitable for this form of treatment and, finally, to study the uterine cavity after treatment and the long-term results of treatment.
