  1. 6. Diagnosis and evaluation of therapeutic response of bone metastases

    Författare :Ipek Çiray; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Bone metastases; breast neoplasm; MR imaging; CT; diagnosis; therapy evaluation; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; diagnostisk radiologi; Diagnostic Radiology;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this study was to investigate different aspects of different imaging modalities in the diagnosis of bone metastases and in the assessment of their response to therapy. The role of CT, with and without clinical information, was investigated as compared to CT-guided bone biopsy in the evaluation of suspected bone metastases. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Development of optimized radiation therapy using external electron and photon beams

    Författare :Mats Åsell; Henk Huizenga; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Target design; Collimator Scattered Radiation; Collimator Scatter Kernel; Treatment Planning; Radiation Therapy Optimization; Intensity Modulation; Energy Modulation; Beam Modality Combinations; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

    Sammanfattning : The development of new intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) techniques and treatment optimization tools makes it desirable to further improve modulation methods by using scanned photon and electron beams. It is shown that the narrowest possible photon beams have the potential to improve the flexibility in dose delivery, speed up the dose delivery and improve the treatment outcome. LÄS MER

  4. 8. The effect of music and music in combination with therapeutic suggestions on postoperative recovery

    Författare :Ulrica Nilsson; Hengo Haljamäe; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to test the effect of music with or without therapeutic suggestions performed intra- or postoperatively on patients' postoperative recovery. A total of 422 patients were included in four studies with a mean age of 53 years. Of these patients 75 were included in two studies. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Analysis of stroma-derived factors with potential prognostic and therapeutic significance in prostate cancer

    Författare :Christina Hägglöf; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in Sweden with about 9000 new cases diagnosed every year. New markers are needed to improve diagnostic accuracy. The most commonly used tissue-biomarkers are basal cell markers and AMACR, often used in combination. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Anticoagulation treatment in patients with a mechanical heart valve

    Författare :Bartosz Grzymala-Lubanski; Anders Själander; Peter J. Svensson; David Bergqvist; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mechanical heart valve; anticoagulation; warfarin; Time in Therapeutic Range TTR ; INR variability;

    Sammanfattning : BackgroundEvery year about 2,500 patients in Sweden undergo surgery for heart valve disease, primarily in the aortic valve.  In contrast to the mitral valve, which can be repaired in 70% of the cases, the aortic valve is normally replaced by a mechanical or biological prosthesis.
