1. Dose Adaptation Based on Pharmacometric Models
Sammanfattning : Many drugs exhibit major variability in both pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters that prevents the use of the same dose for all patients. Variability can occur both between patients (IIV) as well as within patients over the course of time (IOV). LÄS MER
2. Development and Evaluation of Nonparametric Mixed Effects Models
Sammanfattning : A nonparametric population approach is now accessible to a more comprehensive network of modelers given its recent implementation into the popular NONMEM application, previously limited in scope by standard parametric approaches for the analysis of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data. The aim of this thesis was to assess the relative merits and downsides of nonparametric models in a nonlinear mixed effects framework in comparison with a set of parametric models developed in NONMEM based on real datasets and when applied to simple experimental settings, and to develop new diagnostic tools adapted to nonparametric models.

3. Predictive markers for tamoxifen response in primary breast cancer
Sammanfattning : It is well-known that a majority of breast cancers are hormone-dependent, making endocrine therapy an important adjuvant treatment after surgery. Susceptibility to endocrine treatment is determined by the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) in the tumors. LÄS MER
4. Outcomes and Implications of Nasal Measurements in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Sammanfattning : BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disorder and symptoms of nasal obstruction are highly prevalent in OSA. Treatment of nasal obstruction in OSA patients has shown modest and variable outcomes in reducing the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), but significant improvements in other indicators, such as sleep quality and daytime sleepiness as well as reductions in arousals have been observed.

5. Improving management of STEMI patients treated with primary PCI : Pharmacotherapy, renal function estimation and gender perspective
Sammanfattning : This thesis focused on the acute management of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in an effort to provide information that may improve outcome. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin versus unfractionated heparin (UFH) in STEMI patients during primary PCI. LÄS MER
