16. Cryogels Based on Crosslinked Cells as Green Biocatalysts for Biotechnology
Sammanfattning : Abstract Due to the finite nature of fossil resources and their environmental impact, such as greenhouse gases and climate change, the bio-based production of chemicals, materials and fuels is the subject of extensive research in industrial biotechnology. Biotransformation and fermentation are considered to be mild, “green” processes that make use of effective and reliable biocatalysts to provide bio-based chemicals. LÄS MER
17. Outcome and prevention strategies in peritoneal adhesion formation
Sammanfattning : Peritoneal adhesions occur in up to 93% of adults after peritoneal trauma during surgery. Most adhesions are asymptomatic but can cause female infertility, small bowel obstruction (SBO) and chronic abdominal pain. Adhesion prophylaxis is needed to reduce the significant morbidity and increased health care costs resulting from peritoneal adhesions. LÄS MER
18. Nano-Engineered Contrast Agents : Toward Multimodal Imaging and Acoustophoresis
Sammanfattning : Diagnostic ultrasound (US) is safer, quicker and cheaper than other diagnostic imaging modalities. Over the past two decades, the applications of US imaging has been widened due to the development of injectable, compressible and encapsulated microbubbles (MBs) that provide an opportunity to improve conventional echocardiographic imaging, blood flow assessment and molecular imaging.

19. Applications of Chromophores and Multiphoton Techniques to Study Structure and Interactions of Bio-macromolecules in Assembled State
Sammanfattning : The research presented in this thesis is concerned with the linear and nonlinear optical properties of biopolymers and the chromophores that bind to them. This thesis combines analyses of the interactions of biomolecules with technological improvements of already existing systems for bionanotechnology-related research. LÄS MER
20. Long-Term Tracheostomy : Outcome, Cannula care, and Material Wear
Sammanfattning : Do people with long-term tracheostomy need hospital care? Which cleaning method is most appropriate for decontamination of inner cannulae? Are tracheostomy tubes changed for rational reasons? There is clearly a lack of evidence based research in this field and the clinical guidelines available are often based on local practice. A tracheostomy is a created opening in trachea to facilitate breathing. LÄS MER
