  1. 1. Refining the particulate matter airway deposition arising from indoor cooking-related biomass combustion for children in the Haramaya district in Ethiopia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi

    Author : Kasper Malmborn; [2023]
    Keywords : Air pollution exposure; charcoal; wood; animal dung; low-income setting epidemiology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Background: Air pollution, a global issue affecting millions of individuals, is linked to adverse health effects on the respiratory system, but also to e.g., cancer and cardiovascular ailments. In low-income countries, cooking is often conducted by biomass-combustion, causing women and children to be exposed to high levels of indoor air pollution. READ MORE

  3. 2. Development of a new SBRT dose planning strategy for thoracic tumours in RayStation

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Radiofysik

    Author : Olof Westman; [2023]
    Keywords : radiotherapy sbrt lung robust; radioterapi;

    Abstract : Umeå University Hospital has acquired a new treatment planning system, RayStation, for radiotherapy. It has a different set of dose calculation algorithms that require new planning strategies for stereotactic lung cancer treatments. READ MORE

  4. 3. Assessment and evaluation of heterogeneity in data from immune infiltration spatial niches in lung cancer

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Mahta Keivani Najafabadi; [2023]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The protein biomarker expressions in three types of sampled immune INFILTration spatial niches in lung cancer tissue were measured using the new technology Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). The three types of immune INFILTration that were observed in lung tumors were STROMA identified as immune cells separate from tumor cells, Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) identified as dense structures of organized immune cells and finally Infiltraterate where immune cells dispersed among and in direct contact with tumor cells (INFILT).

  5. 4. Emphysema Classification via Deep Learning

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Olov Molin; [2023]
    Keywords : Deep learning; emphysema; CNN;

    Abstract : Emphysema is an incurable lung airway disease and a hallmark of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In recent decades, Computed Tomography (CT) has been used as a powerful tool for the detection and quantification of different diseases, including emphysema. The use of CT comes with a potential risk: ionizing radiation. READ MORE

  6. 5. Comparison of deep learning and model-based approaches for spatial profiling of the immune tumor environment on multiplex image data

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Esraa Ahmed; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The demographics of the tumor microenvironment (TME) impact the Immunotherapy responses for lung cancer patients. Given the heterogeneity of immune cells present within TME, the distribution patterns of different subpopulations of T-cells can be exploited to predict short-term or long-term survival of lung cancer patients.
