1. 1. Predicting True Sepsis and Culture-positive Sepsis in Intensive Care Unit with Machine Learning Techniques

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Zeyuan Wu; [2024]
   Keywords : Machine Learning; Diagnosis of Sepsis; XGBoost; Logistic Regression; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : Sepsis, a serious medical condition often leading to patients requiring intensive care, has prompted numerous scientists to employ mathematical techniques to aid in its diagnosis. This thesis uses logistic regression and a machine learning technique, XGBoost, to predict true sepsis (as opposed to sepsis mimics) and culture-positive sepsis (among true sepsis) in critical care using blood test results, physiological measurements and other patient characteristics.

3. 2. Virtual H&E Staining Using PLS Microscopy and Neural Networks

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Sally Vizins; Hanna Råhnängen; [2024]
   Keywords : Deep learning; Virtual staining; Skin tissue; Hematoxylin Eosin; H E; Pathology; Carcinoma; Point light source illumination; Neural Networks; GANs; Generative adversarial networks; CNNs; Convolutional neural networks; Relativistic generative adversarial network; Unet; Digital microscopy; Attention-Unet; Dense-Unet; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : Histopathological examination, crucial in diagnosing diseases such as cancer, traditionally relies on time- and resource-consuming, poorly standardized chemical staining for tissue visualization. This thesis presents a novel digital alternative using generative neural networks and a point light source (PLS) microscope to transform unstained skin tissue images into their stained counterparts.

4. 3. Keeping Up with the Transition: Sex for Compensation and Women with Asylum and Transgender Experiences in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Graduate School; Lunds universitet/Master of Science in Social Studies of Gender

   Author : Ines Anttila; [2023]
   Keywords : sex for compensation; transgender; asylum; gender affirmation; waiting; strategy; tactic.; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the practice of sex for compensation performed by women with transgender and asylum experiences living in Sweden. It aims to explore the complexities of sex for compensation by positioning this practice as both strategy and a tactic for obtaining income used for gender affirmation, considering that gender-affirmative healthcare is not available for asylum seekers in Sweden.

5. 4. Self-supervised representation learning from electrocardiogram data for medical applications

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Matilda Andersson; [2023]
   Keywords : Self-supervised learning; Deep learning; Cardiovascular disease; Electrocardiogram; ECG; SimCLR; BYOL; VICReg; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, increasing yearly. However, many abnormalities in heart cycles can be discovered and treated years before the onset of diseases. But in most societies, regular health checkups are a concept reserved for cars, not humans. READ MORE

6. 5. Generation of Synthetic White Blood Cell Images Using Denoising Diffusion

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Louise Zettergren; Fanny Nilsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : CellaVision’s digital hematology systems are designed to analyze blood and pre-classify different types of blood cells. Some abnormal white blood cells are rare, which can cause imbalanced datasets. This can lead to a decrease in pre- classification performance and a need to carry out more time-consuming data gathering. READ MORE
