1. Non-enhanced single-energy computed tomography of urinary stones
Sammanfattning : Computed tomography (CT) is the mainstay imaging method for urinary stones.The aim of this thesis was to optimize the information obtained from the initial CT scan to allow a well-founded diagnosis and prognosis, and to guide the clinician as early and as far as possible in the further treatment of urinary stone disease.

2. Dynamics of the Bacterial Genome : Rates and Mechanisms of Mutation
Sammanfattning : Bacterial chromosomes are highly dynamic, continuously changing with respect to gene content and size via a number of processes, including deletions that result in gene loss. How deletions form and at what rates has been the focus of this thesis. In paper II we investigated how chromosomal location affects chromosomal deletion rates in S. LÄS MER
3. Intestinal permeability : a parameter of mucosal dysfunction
Sammanfattning : The gastrointestinal tract has two opposing functions; to absorb nutrients and electrolytes, and to act as a barrier towards hazardous and non-nutritional substances. In the present thesis the barrier function of the gastrointestinal tract was studied in animal models in vivo, in situ and in vitro. LÄS MER
4. The stack mode review of volumetric datasets : applications for urinary stone disease
Sammanfattning : During the last decades the acquisition and visualization of radiological images have rapidly evolved. The increasing amounts of volumetric image data particularly from modern CT systems necessitate a constant evolution of the radiological visualization techniques. LÄS MER
5. Airway protection and coordination of breathing and swallowing : in health and anesthesia
Sammanfattning : Swallowing and breathing is coordinated to ensure that the airway is protected from aspiration. During the pharyngeal phase of swallowing, breathing is interrupted to allow safe passage of bolus. However, details on the complex coordination of breathing and swallowing and their precise temporal relationship are not fully understood. LÄS MER
