  1. 1. The association between obesity, low-grade inflammation, self-reported knee symptoms and radiographic knee osteoarthritis in individuals with knee pain : A longitudinal cohort study

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Alma Buer; [2024]
    Keywords : osteoarthritis knee pain; artros knä smärta;

    Abstract : Abstract  Background One of the earliest signs of knee osteoarthritis (OA) is knee pain which correlates with inflammation and disease severity. Knee OA affects 260 million worldwide, and is in similarity with obesity, characterized by ongoing low-grade inflammation. READ MORE

  3. 2. Robustness Analysis of Perfusion Parameter Calculations

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

    Author : Alicia Palmér; [2024]
    Keywords : Perfusion; Medical image analysis; Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Tofts model; Functional imaging; Optimization; T1 map; Perfusion; Medicinsk bildanalys; Dynamisk kontrastförstärkt magnetisk resonanstomografibildtagning; Tofts-modell; Funktionell bildbehandling; Optimering; T1 karta;

    Abstract : Cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. When given optimal treatment, however, the risk of severe illness may greatly be reduced. Determining optimal treatment in turn requires evaluation of disease progression and response to potential, previous treatment. READ MORE

  4. 3. The language of risk: A quantitative study on the effects of presentation format in risk communication

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för marknadsföring och strategi

    Author : Andreas Lidin; Daniel Mira; [2024]
    Keywords : Risk Communication; Numeracy; Presentation Format; Natural Frequencies;

    Abstract : Consumers are faced with everyday decisions requiring understanding and interpretation of risks and probabilities. One area where the importance of good risk communication is particularly salient is in modern healthcare where shared medical decision making is a central feature. READ MORE

  6. 5. Prospects for a Free Electron Laser at the FemtoMAX Beamline

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Johan Holmberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Free Electron Lasers; FEL; synchrotron radiation; MAX IV; FemtoMAX; GENESIS 1.3; XFEL; X-rays; soft X-rays; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A Free Electron Laser (FEL), is a device that generates extremely coherent and brilliant radiation using electrons accelerated to relativistic velocities in a particle accelerator. The process utilises similar equipment to what is used at a synchrotron source like MAX IV, but in addition there is an interaction between the relativistic electron beam and the generated radiation to achieve an exponential growth in radiation intensity.
