The aim of this work was to develop a pharmacokinetic model for the analysis of the pharmacokinetics of (111)Inlabeled monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in B-cell lymphoma patients and to evaluate the model's ability to predict a subsequent radioimmunotherapy by (90)Y-labeled mAbs. Data from quantified scintillation camera images and blood samples were used to fit a compartment model. The modeling incl

Since the introduction of unilateral parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) it has been debated wherever this approach is associated with greater long-term risk for recurrence compared to bilateral neck exploration.

Macromolecular drugs hold great promise as novel therapeutics of several major disorders, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. However, their use is limited by lack of efficient, safe, and specific delivery strategies. Successful development of such strategies requires interdisciplinary collaborations involving researchers with expertise on e.g., polymer chemistry, cell biology, nano technol

BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the incidence, complications, and outcome of local intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy for acute superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion in Sweden. METHODS: Patients undergoing local intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy for acute SMA occlusion were identified in the Swedish Vascular Registry (SWEDVASC) between 1987 and 2009. Patient data were retrieved in a struc

Computed tomography (CT) is often a justified diagnostic tool, but is also associated with high exposure of the patients. Due to the rapid increase in the number of CT units and thus the availability of CT examinations in Russia, there is a growing need for optimisation within this field. In order to develop proper optimisation procedures for CT, the two regions St. Petersburg and Belgorod of Russ

ABSTRACT:

Popular Abstract in Swedish Undertrycksbehandling av sår (negative pressure wound therapy, NPWT) har förekommit under lång tid i olika utföranden. Sedan slutet av 1990-talet har användningen av tekniken ökat kraftigt inom flera kliniska discipliner eftersom effekten på sårläkning visat sig vara mycket god för många olika sårtyper. Trots omfattande forskning saknas det fortfarande kunskaper om hur Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) promotes wound healing through several mechanisms, e.g., altered periwound blood flow, mechanical deformation of the wound edge tissue, and drainage of excess fluid and debris. The general aim of this thesis was to study the impact of different levels of negative pressure, different wound filling materials (foam or gauze), and different ways of applying the n

This paper concerns the use of Sequential Monte Carlo methods (SMC) for smoothing in general state space models. A well known problem when applying the standard SMC technique in the smoothing mode is that the resampling mechanism introduces degeneracy of the approximation in the path-space. However, when performing maximum likelihood estimation via the EM algorithm, all involved functionals will b
