  1. 1. Analysis of Head Kinematics in Ice Hockey

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : David Pogosian; [2022]
    Keywords : Ice hockey; Video analysis; MPS; THUMS; Concussion; Head kinematics; Finite Element analysis; Ishockey; Videoanalys; MPS; THUMS; Hjärnskakning; Huvudkinematik; Finita element metoden;

    Abstract : Ice hockey has been identified as a sport with a high risk for concussions due to it being highly physical. Improvements have been made over the years to improve the protective gear for the players effectively eliminating more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) however mild concussions (mTBI) are still prevalent to this day.

    Keywords : Magnetic resonance imaging; Brain development; Prematurity; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Aim: To evaluate a pipeline for automatic MRI brain segmentation and volumetric tissue structure quantification in a cohort of extremely preterm infants. Methods: 13 extremely preterm neonates underwent MRI-scanning at a term equivalent age. Seven of these subjects had suitable MRI sequences and were analyzed in the pipeline. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigation of immunomodulatory properties of anti-secretory factor in experimental brain tumor models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Läkarutbildningen

    Author : Hanin Fabiana El-Sabee; Amanda Peetre; [2020]
    Keywords : Antisecretory factor; Immunomodulation; Glioblastoma; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction: Glioblastoma is the most aggressive form of primary brain tumor in adults. Current treatment including chemotherapy poses a limitation due to consequences of systemic toxicity. Further studies for alternative, multimodal treatments are necessary. Antisecretory factor is an endogenous protein. READ MORE

  5. 4. Concussion in Soccer: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Protective Headbands in Head-to-Head Impacts Using Finite Element Models

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)
