1. 1. Translation of pharmacometric models from NONMEM to nlmixr2 and RxODE2

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

   Author : Johan Borg; [2023]
   Keywords : pharmacy; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; nlmixr; nlmixr2; rxode; rxode2; conversion; translation; NONMEM; PK; PD; PK PD; model; modeling; modelling;

   Abstract : The gold standard for pharmacometrics modeling, along with its modeling format, is currently NONMEM. In order to use other software, there is often a manual step of converting a model from one format to another, which is both time-consuming and causes manual errors. READ MORE

3. 2. Radiotherapy treatment strategy for prostate cancer with lymph node involvement

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Amanda Östensson; [2023]
   Keywords : Radiotherapy; prostate cancer; lymph node; gold fiducial marker; multiple target;

   Abstract : Radiotherapy is a common and useful method for treating prostate cancer, often using gold fiducial markers in the prostate as guidance. However, when there is a high risk of lymph node involvement, the independent motion of volumes causes complications in patient positioning since there is a choice between position against the gold fiducial markers or the bone anatomy.

4. 3. Microfluidic flow splitter shape optimization for high throughput

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Christoffer Papamoustos Palmér; Joel Linder; [2023]
   Keywords : Genetic algorithms; Lab-on-a-chip; Optimization; Acoustofluidics; Microfluidics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Due to an increasing incidence rate, the need for new effective methods for diagnosing cancer are of high importance. Studies have shown that circulating tumor cells, CTCs, have great potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Acoustophoresis is a label free method, capable of separating CTCs from red blood cells in a blood sample. READ MORE
