1. 16. Image-driven simulation of brain tumors using a reaction-diffusion mathematical model

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Avdelningen för medicinsk teknik

   Author : Kristos Qiqi; [2023]
   Keywords : brain tumor; cancer; mathematical model; simulation; magnetic resonance images; hjärntumör; cancer; matematisk model; simulering; magnetresonanstomografi bilder;

   Abstract : Brain tumors pose a big challenge in the field of neuro-oncology. Gliomas are the largest subgroup. Magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive tool for detecting and characterizing these tumors. Mathematical models, such as the reaction-diffusion equation, can be used for understanding the intricate behavior of gliomas. READ MORE

3. 17. Uncertainty Estimation in Radiation Dose Prediction U-Net

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Frida Skarf; [2023]
   Keywords : Radiation dose prediction models; U-net; quantile regression; Monte Carlo Dropout; epistemic uncertainty estimation; aleatoric uncertainty estimation; Stråldospredicerande modeller; U-net; kvantilregression; Monte Carlo Dropout; epistemisk osäkerhetsskattning; aletorisk osäkerhetsskattning;

   Abstract : The ability to quantify uncertainties associated with neural network predictions is crucial when they are relied upon in decision-making processes, especially in safety-critical applications like radiation therapy. In this paper, a single-model estimator of both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties in a regression 3D U-net used for radiation dose prediction is presented. READ MORE

4. 18. Image-classification for Brain Tumor using Pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Bushra Alsabbagh; [2023]
   Keywords : Brain tumor; Deep learning; Convolutional Neural Network CNN ; diagnosis; Image classification; pre-trained models; dataset; economic impact.; Cancer; Hjärntumör; Artificiell intelligens AI ; djupinlärning; konvolutionellt neuralt nätverk CNN ; Diagnostik; Bildklassificering; förtränade modeller; dataset.;

   Abstract : Brain tumor is a disease characterized by uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the brain. The brain is responsible for regulating the functions of all other organs, hence, any atypical growth of cells in the brain can have severe implications for its functions. READ MORE

5. 19. Refining the particulate matter airway deposition arising from indoor cooking-related biomass combustion for children in the Haramaya district in Ethiopia

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi

   Author : Kasper Malmborn; [2023]
   Keywords : Air pollution exposure; charcoal; wood; animal dung; low-income setting epidemiology; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Background: Air pollution, a global issue affecting millions of individuals, is linked to adverse health effects on the respiratory system, but also to e.g., cancer and cardiovascular ailments. In low-income countries, cooking is often conducted by biomass-combustion, causing women and children to be exposed to high levels of indoor air pollution. READ MORE

6. 20. A novel assay for the detection of Hepatitis C virus in blood plasma, using padlock probes and rolling circle amplification

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Andréa Karlsson; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Hepatitis C viral infection is a globally widespread blood-borne disease affecting the liver, causing cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. This type of liver cancer is mainly caused by chronic Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B. Specific detection with the following correct treatment is crucial to reduce the overall burden of the disease.
