Predicting the probable survival for a patient can be very challenging for many diseases. In many forms of cancer, the choice of treatment can be directly impacted by the estimated risk for the patient. This thesis explores different methods to predict the patient's survival chances using artificial neural networks (ANN). ANN is a machine learning technique inspired by how neurons in the brain fu
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent lymphoma subtype. In Sweden 450 new cases are diagnosed annually. With modern anthracycline-containing chemotherapy DLBCL is potentially curable, with an estimated overall cure rate of approximately 50% for patients with advanced stage disease. Through molecular profiling of DLBCL the ?cell-of-origin concept? has been established: patients
Popular Abstract in Swedish Osteopetros är ett samlingsnamn för en grupp av sjukdomar som påverkar benombildningen i vår kropp. Denna term kan lätt förväxlas med den betydligt vanligare sjukdomen osteoporos (benskörhet). Trots ordens snarlikhet skiljer sig dessa sjukdomar sig avsevärt från varandra. Osteo är latin för ben och medan poros kan översättas med porös betyder petros sten. Även om de oliThe goal in this thesis is development of gene therapy for malignant infantile osteopetrosis (IMO), a rare but severe genetic bone disease. The concept of osteopetrosis implies dysfunction or lack of osteoclasts, the bone resorbing cells in our body, resulting in failure of normal bone breakdown. Although involved in bone remodeling, osteoclasts are of hematopoietic origin and may potentially be t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Malaria och tuberkulos är två av de mest dödliga infektionssjukdomarna i världen. Biologiskt är de två infektionerna mycket olika; malaria orsakas av en encellig parasit, en plasmodium, som sprids mellan personer med hjälp av myggbett, och tuberkulos av en bakterie som sprids via upphostade bakterier. Vidare drabbar malaria vanligtvis blodomloppet medan tuberkulos oftasMalaria and tuberculosis are two of the most deadly infectious diseases that exist. Both diseases predominantly affect the most vunerable parts of society. Additionally the treatment of both diseases are complicated by growing and spreading resistance against the drugs used to treat them. Chloroquine was once described as a wonder drug for its combination of efficacy, low price and tolerable side
Föräldrabalkens 6 kap. 2 a § stadgar att barnets bästa skall vara avgörande för alla beslut i frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Barnets bästa är en princip som går att finna i såväl internationella dokument som i nationell lagstiftning. Begreppet barnets bästas innebörd är ej uttryckligen definierad i varken de internationella dokumenten, såsom barnkonventionen, eller i svensk nationell lagstAccording to the Swedish parental code 6 chapter 2 a §, the best interest of the child shall be conclusive for all decisions in matters of custody, residency and right to access. The best interest of the child is a principle which can be found in both international documents and in national legislation. The concept of the principle of the best interest of the child is not expressly defined in neit
This essay concerns the assessment of penal value in cases regarding narcotic offenses. It particularly concerns the level of guilt as shown by the court for the criminal act and associated factors. In the early 1960's the punishment for narcotic offences were fines or inprisonment for up to two years in accordance with narcoticregulation. With the adoption of the narcotic penal law the maxim
Hem och A1M – ett test på liv och död Hem är en av kroppens viktigaste hjälpar-molekyler. När hem är bundet till proteiner hjälper det cellerna att utvinna energi och rensa ut gifter. Det mesta hemet finns i de röda blodkropparna där hem används till att transportera syre i kroppen. Tyvärr är obundet hem giftigt. Det har visat sig att havandeskapsförgiftning, ett tillstånd som kan drabba gravida,
I skrivande stund är sju olika cancercentra i Sverige, däribland Skånes Universitetssjukhus i Lund, mitt uppe i en gemensam randomiserad studie som undersöker behandling av prostatacancer med två olika strålningsscheman. Patienterna i studien blir slumpvis tilldelade antingen en standardbehandling, där de får en liten mängd strålning vid 39 olika tillfällen, eller en så kallad hypofraktionerad behPurpose: This work examined the feasibility of flattening filter free (FFF) volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for extreme hypofractionation of prostate cancer. The aim was to investigate the potential gain in treatment time per fraction for extreme hypofractionation of prostate cancer, while preserving or improving the treatment plan quality and radiation delivery quality. The impact of intr
The aim of this study was to optimize a function starch-ethyl cellulose film for targeting the therapeutically active substance to the colon in the disease state for patients suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases. This study includes: • The preparation of the polymeric films and the investigation of the characterization (for example mechanical properties, water uptake, dry mass loss, and mic
Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes är en snabbt växande folksjukdom som redan har drabbat 200 miljoner världen runt. Det finns två typer av sjukdomen: typ I samt typ II diabetes. Den förstnämnda drabbar vanligtvis de unga och beror på en s.k. autoimmun reaktion där kroppens egna immunförsvar av okänd anledning plötsligt inte känner igen insulincellerna och börjar attackera dem. Typ II diabetes uDiabetes affects around 200 million people worldwide. Curing diabetes would require the prevention of autoimmune destruction of beta cells and restoration of the beta cell mass restored either through regeneration or transplantation of the insulin producing cells. Islet transplantation according to the Edmonton protocol have been the most promising therapeutic option for Diabetes type I patients,

Boreal peatlands store large amounts of carbon, but warmer and drier conditions caused by climate change may turn these ecosystems into carbon sources. Equipped with drones and thermal cameras Julia Kelly, who recently received her doctorate at the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC), has studied what factors affect the CO2 fluxes in peatland ecosystems. Boreal forests and peatlands

The effect of future changes in temperature and precipitation patterns on arctic ecosystem functioning is often assessed using state-of-the-art ecosystem models. Many models however lack detailed representation of wintertime processes, as pointed out by recent studies (Wang et al. 2016, Slater and Lawrence 2013). This bias may influence the derived outputs, such as soil temperature, permafrost ext
Pleural and tracheal injuries remain significant problems, and an easy to use, effective pleural or tracheal sealant would be a significant advance. The major challenges are requirements for adherence, high strength and elasticity, dynamic durability, appropriate biodegradability, and lack of cell or systemic toxicity. We designed and evaluated two sealant materials comprised respectively of algin
