  1. 11. Image analysis on the structure of the Achilles tendon

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Linnea Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : biomechanics; Achilles tendon; image analysis; image processing; tendons; synchrotron; computed tomography; phase contrast; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon of the human body which makes injuries of it very painful and incapacitating. A common factor of the pain are heterotopic ossifications, which are mineral deposits occurring inside the normal tendon tissue. Why and how heterotopic ossifications occur are somewhat unknown.

  3. 12. The effects of IRAP-inhibitors in the brain

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Dennis Josefsson; [2021]
    Keywords : IRAP; insulin-regulated aminopeptidase; IRAP-inhibitors; memory disorders; neurogenerative diseases; cognitive impairments;

    Abstract : The increased understanding of underlying neurobiological processes and their connections to cognitive performance has opened new doors for novel therapeutic strategies that aim to prevent, and even reverse the effects of memory disorders, neurodegenerative diseases and other cognitive impairments. One of the new and exciting drug targets that has emerged as a result of this research is insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP). READ MORE

  4. 13. Synchrotron X-ray Tomography Study of Bone-implant Integration

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Ornella Lohéac; [2021]
    Keywords : Bone-implant; Digital volume correlation; Micro-computed tomography; PEEK; Synchrotron; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Implant loosening is a recurring problem in the field of orthopedics, typically resulting in a physical and financial burden for the patient. Proper integration of orthopedic implants within host bones is a fundamental requirement for the successful function and limited risk of failure of implants which, in-vivo, must support various loading conditions.

Although there are several therapeutic drugs for this mental condition,there is a need to develop alternative treatments as treatment response differ between patients. READ MORE

  6. 15. Generating Realistic Neuronal Morphologies in 3D using a Generative Adversarial Network

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

    Author : Erik Vanhainen; Johan Adamsson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neuronal morphology is primarily responsible for the structure of the connectivity among the neurons and is an important determinant for neuronal activity. This raises questions about the relationship between neuron shape and neuron function. READ MORE
