  1. 11. Description and prediction of clinical radiosensitivity : emphasis on normal tissue reactions

    Författare :Roger Tell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Radiotherapy; radiosensitivity; normal tissue; thyroid; cell cycle; lung injury;

    Sammanfattning : There is a range in the severity of normal tissue reactions observed when cancer patients receive radiotherapy (RT). The limits of dosage in RT have empirically been set by doses that have caused severe reactions in the most sensitive patients. The understanding of factors governing variations of radiosensitivity is therefore very important in RT. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Predicting Normal Tissue Complications after External Beam Radiation Therapy

    Författare :Caroline Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NTCP; fractionation effects; radiobiological modelling; pubic bone pain;

    Sammanfattning : Although modern external beam radiation (EBRT) therapy has the ability to conform the dose tightly around the volume to be treated, unwanted irradiation to surrounding normal tissue is still a problem. The probability of a side effect arising in normal tissue after EBRT is commonly modelled by an s-shaped dose-volume response curve where dose or volume are plotted against response (i. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Transplantation of normal and decellularized syngeneic, allogeneic and xenogeneic cardiac tissue in mice and non-human primates

    Författare :Ketaki Methe; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Decellularization; Cardiac tissue; Syngeneic; Allogeneic; Xenogeneic; Non-human primate;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction Because of the restricted inherent capacity of regeneration and healing, transplantation is the only treatment for end-stage heart failure but it has limitations of donor shortage and graft rejection. Cardiac tissue engineering strategies might help to alleviate this problem. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Head and Neck Cancer: Studies on microvessel density, radiation response and FDG PET

    Författare :Eva Brun; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; positron emission tomography PET ; 2-18 fluoro deoxy glucose FDG ; radiotherapy; microvessel density; Head and neck cancer; therapy response; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Treatment options of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) usually include combinations of radiotherapy and surgery, and in some cases addition of chemotherapy. In locally advanced cases cure rates are low. Current prognostic factors cannot foresee the outcome for the individual patient. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Tissue engineering for novel female infertillity treatments: studies on small and large animal models

    Författare :Arvind M. Padma; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rat; sheep; tissue engineering; decellularization; recellularization;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: As with any transplantation (Tx) procedure, uterus Tx is associated with risky donor surgery and adverse side-effects from immunosuppression. With the aim to bypass these risks, this thesis investigated uterus tissue engineering strategies and the potential to develop a patient-specific uterus graft to replace the need for donor surgery and immunosuppression.
