  1. 1. Serglycin as a potential diagnostic biomarker for hemangiosarcoma in dogs

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Cassandra Linder; [2022]
    Keywords : Serglycin; EEF2; cancer; hemangiosarcoma; dog; canine; metastatic; biomarker; qPCR;

    Abstract : Hemangiosarcoma (HSA) is a common splenic malignant neoplasia in dogs, originating from the endothelium. The tumor has an aggressive character, and the clinical symptoms of HSA are mostly due to the secondary effects of the tumor such as tumor growth or rupture. The prognosis is poor for HSA, usually with a survival time of under one year. READ MORE

  3. 2. The role of diseases in mass mortality of wood lemmings (Myopus schisticolor)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Henrik Johansen; [2021]
    Keywords : wood lemming; Myopus schisticolor; disease; virus; pathogens; mass mortality; orthohantavirus; pan-orthohantavirus; somatic index; spleen index;

    Abstract : Like many other rodent species, the wood lemming (Myopus schisticolor) exhibits cycles with large population peaks but unlike most other European rodents, these peaks are frequently followed by mass mortality. It is largely unknown what pathogens wood lemmings carry and if pathogens could affect their population dynamics. READ MORE

  4. 3. Noise Reduction of Scintillation Camera Images Using UNET: A Monte Carlo Simulation Approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Johanna Korpijärvi; [2021]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background The project aims to reduce the noise in planar 111-In projections with a machine learning model. Method Sixteen base phantoms were used to create 696 phantoms in XCAT. An anterior planar projection was simulated with 111-In and ten uptake curves for each phantom in SIMIND. READ MORE

  5. 4. Multi-Modal Learning for Abdominal Organ Segmentation

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

    Author : Shruti Atul Mali; [2020]
    Keywords : Deep learning; multi-modal learning; medical imaging; image segmentation; abdominal organs; liver; kidneys; spleen; CT; MR; 3D-Unet;

    Abstract : Deep Learning techniques are widely used across various medical imaging applications. However, they are often fine-tuned for a specific modality and are not generalizable when it comes to new modalities or datasets. One of the main reasons for this is large data variations for e.g. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of Thoracic Injury Risk of Heavy Goods Vehicle Occupants during Steering Wheel Rim Impacts to Different Rib Levels

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Jia Cheng Xu; [2019]
    Keywords : Heavy Goods Vehicles HGVs ; Rim Impacts; Human Body Models HBM ; Total HUman Model for Safety THUMS ; Hybrid III; ribs; aorta; liver; spleen; injury risk functions; material models; cumulative distribution function CDF ; Ogden; risk curves; Lastbilar; rattislag; humanmodeller; Total HUman Model for Safety THUMS ; Hybrid III; revben; aorta; lever; mjälte; riskfunktioner; materialmodeller; kumulativ fördelningsfunktion; Ogden; riskkurvor;

    Abstract : The interior of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) differs from passenger cars. Both the steering wheel and the occupant are positioned differently in a HGV and increases the risk of steering wheel rim impacts. READ MORE
