1. 6. An electrostatic sampling device for point-of-care detection of bioaerosols

   Författare :Laila Ladhani; Wouter van der Wijngaart; Jorma Keskinen; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electrostatic sampling; bioaerosols; point-of-care; breath sampling; electrostatic precipitation; microfluidic collection; corona discharge; air sampling; non-invasive diagnostics; exhaled breath analysis; on-site detection; aerosol sampling; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Bioaerosols are not only a significant factor of air quality but contribute greatly to the spread of infectious diseases, specifically through expired pathogen-laden aerosols. Clear examples of airborne transmission include: the recent influenza pandemic of 2009, the ongoing tuberculosis epidemic, and yearly norovirus out- breaks, which affect millions of people worldwide and pose serious threats to public healthcare systems.

   Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes to the development of Lab-on-a-Chip systems that enables reliable, rapid medical diagnostics at the point-of-care. These contributions are focused on microfluidic Lab-on-a-Chip systems for sepsis diagnosis, autonomous sample-to-answer tests, and dried blood spot sampling. LÄS MER

4. 8. Foil-based Lab-on-Chip technologies for advanced Point-of-Care molecular diagnostics

   Författare :Anna Ohlander; Aman Associate Professor; Christoph Professor; Anders Wolff; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology; Medical Technology; Medicinsk teknologi; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Infectious diseases pose a serious threat to global health. Molecular diagnostics provide solutions for effective control and prevention of infections, however suffers from expensive laboratory equipment, and infrastructure to be fully implemented at point of care (POC), especially at low-resource settings.

5. 9. Point-of-care testing of platelet P2Y12-inhibition in patients with acute coronary syndrome

   Författare :Manne Holm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: The point-of-care platelet function test Plateletworks® has been shown to identify patients with high platelet aggregation despite P2Y12 inhibition, also known as high-on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR), who have increased risk for ischemic cardiovascular events. However, this platelet function assay has not been sufficiently validated. LÄS MER

7. 10. Development of materials, surfaces and manufacturing methods for microfluidic applications

   Författare :Carl Fredrik Carlborg; Wouter van der Wijngaart; Shoji Takeuchi; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microsystem technology; MEMS; microfluidics; polymers; off-stoichiometry thiol-ene; point-of-care; lab-on-chip; Electrical engineering; electronics and photonics; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents technological advancements in microfluidics. The overall goals of the work are to develop new miniaturized tests for point-of-care diagnostics and robust super-lubricating surfaces for friction reduction. To achieve these goals, novel materials, surfaces and manufacturing methods in microfluidics have been developed. LÄS MER
