1. 1. Addressing Health Hazards or Promoting Commercial Interests? : An application of the Advocacy Coalition Framework on contemporary EU Alcohol Policy

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Emil Juslin; [2024]
   Keywords : EU alcohol policy; Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan; Advocacy Coalition Framework; Public Health Policy;

   Abstract : Throughout its history, the EU has been centred around economic integration. Today, however, the EU's political ambitions extend to more areas, such as environment and health. READ MORE

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. Exploring adaptation of self-supervised representation learning to histopathology images for liver cancer detection

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Markus Jonsson; [2024]
   Keywords : Self-supervised learning; Representation learning; Computer vision;

   Abstract : This thesis explores adapting self-supervised representation learning to visual domains beyond natural scenes, focusing on medical imaging. The research addresses the central question: "How can self-supervised representation learning be specifically adapted for detecting liver cancer in histopathology images?" The study utilizes the PAIP 2019 dataset for liver cancer segmentation and employs a self-supervised approach based on the VICReg method. READ MORE

5. 4. Developing a protocol for 3D-printable bioink from decellularised porcine tissue

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Vendela Sandin; [2024]
   Keywords : Scaffold; Extracellular matrix; ECM; Bioink; Bioprinting; Collagen; Pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : T-cell administration via a scaffold is a promising tool for treatment of inoperable solid tumours. Traditional scaffold materials lack the complexity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that cells normally grow in. An alternative is to instead use decellularised ECM (dECM) from biological tissue to create the scaffold. READ MORE

6. 5. Indocyanine-green fluorescence imaging to detect anastomotic insufficiency after esophagectomy

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

   Author : Love Kildetoft; [2024]
   Keywords : Fluorescence; Imaging; Indocyanine-green; ICG; Esophageal cancer; Physics; Photonics; Image Analysis; Blood Perfusion; Anastomotic leakage; Anastomotic insufficiency; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This research project is concerned with the development of simulation models and image analysis algorithms, as well as instrumentation for characterizing anastomotic leakages after a patient has undergone surgery for esophageal cancer. Anastomotic leakage is a high-incidence complication after esophagectomy, a surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. READ MORE
