  1. 1. 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. 2. Serum TK1 activity and SAA concentration as biomarkers to differentiate lymphoma from gastrointestinal disease in cats

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Amanda Friman; [2023]
    Keywords : lymphoma; gastrointestinal lymphoma; feline lymphoma; inflammatory bowel disease; IBD; thymidine kinase 1; TK1; biomarker; cancer; cats;

    Abstract : Alimentary lymphoma is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in cats. Since the clinical signs often are identical to those of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the findings on diagnostic imaging and endoscopic mucosal biopsies overlap, invasive biopsy sampling from the GI tract is needed to be able to differentiate these two diseases from each other.

  4. 3. Predicting Biomarkers/ Candidate Genes involved in iALL, using Rough Sets based Interpretable Machine Learning Model.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Girish Pulinkala; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Cancer; Oncology; Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia; Rough sets; Pathway analysis; Feature selection; Bioinformatics; Computational Biology.;

    Abstract : Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a hematological malignancy that gains a proliferative advantage and originates in the bone marrow. One of the more common genetic alterations in ALL is KMT2A-rearrangement which constitutes 80% of the cases of ALL in infants. READ MORE

  5. 4. Classification of imbalanced disparate medical data using ontology

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

    Author : Ludvig Karlsson; Gustav Wilhelm Kopp Sundin; [2023]
    Keywords : Ontology; machine learning; random forest; imbalanced data; oncology; digital transformation;

    Abstract : Through the digitization of healthcare, large volumes of data are generated and stored in healthcare operations. Today, a multitude of platforms and digital infrastructures are used for storage and management of data. The systems lack a common ontology which limits the interoperability between datasets.

  6. 5. STANDARDIZED ORGAN AT RISK VOLUME FOR EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION THERAPY IN PROSTATE CANCER AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO VOLUMES DEFINED BY CLINICAL PRACTICE

    University essay from

    Author : Dang Thao; [2022-01-13]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Radiation therapy; Prostate cancer; Organs at risk;

    Abstract : Background/ Purpose: In radiation therapy (RT), the radiation dose calculated in tumours and normal tissue depends on how the volumes are defined. It is difficult to standardize how tumour volumes should be defined because their anatomical extension can differ greatly between individuals. READ MORE
