1. Glucose degradation products in patients on hemodialysis : interventional studies
Sammanfattning : Hemodialysis (HD) is the most frequently used treatment for end-stage renal disease. Despite all efforts to improve the outcomes, the mortality of patients on HD is still high, and this especially is related to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). LÄS MER
2. Spectroscopic Measurements and Fluorescence Imaging for Treatment and Diagnosis of Skin Cancer
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the use of light for treatment and diagnosis of skin cancer. The occurrence of skin cancer is increasing worldwide, among the most common types being basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and actinic keratosis, a skin cancer precursor. LÄS MER
3. On the use of light for the characterization and treatment of malignant tumours
Sammanfattning : Some aspects on the use of light for tissue characterization and treatment of malignant tumours are discussed within this thesis. The work presented aims at improving optical techniques for tissue characterization, especially to detect malignant and pre-malignant lesions. LÄS MER
4. Biological ageing and kidney transplantation
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the impact of biological ageing in patients with chronic kidney disease, the effect of kidney transplantation on biological ageing and longterm outcome in patients with kidney failure. We used the national Swedish renal registry (SNR), ScandiaTransplant´s database YASWA, patient records and different methods to analyze biological ageing and circulatory microbiota to address this aim.

5. Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Quantitative Demarcation of Glioblastoma Using 5-Aminolevulinic Acid
Sammanfattning : Total resection of glioblastoma, the highly malignant brain tumor, is difficult to accomplish due to its diffuse growth and similarity to the surrounding brain tissue. A total resection is proven to increase patient survival. LÄS MER
