  1. 21. Resonator sensor technique for medical use : an intraocular pressure measurement system

    Författare :Anders Eklund; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sensor; Vibration; Hardness; Prostate; intraocular pressure; resonator; eye; applanation; glaucoma;

    Sammanfattning : In the work of this doctoral dissertation a new resonator sensor technique, first presented in 1989, has been further developed and evaluated with focus on technical characteristics and applications within the medical field. In a first part a catheter-type tactile sensor using the resonator sensor technique was evaluated in a silicone model and applied to human prostate in vitro. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Endothelial dysfunction in atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes : clinical and molecular studies of the role of endothelin and arginase

    Författare :Arnar Þór Rafnsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Atherosclerosis is a modern world scourge and the number of people worldwide diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is on the rise, causing much morbidity and mortality. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is an early sign of atherosclerosis and contributes to vascular complications in T2D. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Clinical, biochemical and morphological aspects of cervical ripening in the first trimester

    Författare :Nina Vukas Radulovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :cervical ripening; misoprostol; nitric oxide; electron microscopy; miscarriage; IL-8; MMP-1; MMP-8; MMP-9;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The uterine cervix has the ability to be transformed from being a rigid organ in non-pregnant women to become a loose structure that dilates and allows passage of the foetus at parturition. This process, cervical ripening, has been described similar to an inflammatory reaction of the extracellular matrix involving activation of inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases and breakdown of the collagen framework.

  5. 24. Coronary computed tomography in patients with myocardial infarction and non-obstructed coronary arteries

    Författare :Elin Bacsovics Brolin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death worldwide. In Sweden, almost 30 000 people suffer an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) each year and, despite the greatly improved survival after AMI, CVD remains the leading cause of death among women and men.

  7. 25. Nipple-sparing subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with implants in breast cancer

    Författare :Kristinn P Benediktsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: The surgical treatment of breast cancer has changed rapidly since Halsted´s operation was generally abandoned about 50 years ago. In the 1970s partial mastectomy (PM), followed by radiotherapy (RT), was proven to be oncologically safe for smaller cancer tumours that are not multifocal. LÄS MER
