  1. 1. Wound Treatment : An overview and initial investigation of wound care and bioactive materials

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Louise Ringholm; [2023]
    Keywords : Wound treatment; wound care; bioactive materials; calcium silicate;

    Abstract : Wound care is a field with many treatment methods and products on the market. The healing period varies, some wounds become difficult to heal and chronic, in many cases a connection can be drawn to underlying diseases. Diabetes is a disease that could cause foot ulcers that are difficult to heal. READ MORE

  3. 2. Fault diagnosis of a variable pole-phase motor

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Claes Henriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Multiphase machine; variable pole-phase machine; fault diagnosis; switch fault; phase fault; harmonic plane decomposition; wound independently controlled stator coil machine; Multifasmaskin; variabel polfasmaskin; feldiagnosticering; brytarfel; fasfel; harmonic plane decomposition; WICSC-maskin;

    Abstract : Wound Independently Controlled Stator Coil (WICSC) machines are a novel type of multiphase machine with the ability to change its pole-phase configuration during operation. This enables improved post-fault control and thus prolonged continuous operation. READ MORE

    Abstract : The increasing spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria poses a major threat to the public health. There is an urge for the development of innovative formulations of existing and new antibiotics. READ MORE

  5. 4. Blood interactions with bioactive peptidefunctionalized nanocellulose : An evaluation of the activation of the coagulation and complement system

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Vanisha Bansal; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A current trend utilizing the biomedical approach in the field of wound care is focused on the increased potential to develop wound healing materials designed to address specific types of wounds or underlying pathologies to achieve improved healing. The work presented in this thesis evaluates the blood response to wood-derived nanocellulose functionalized with a peptide, with the ultimate aim of characterizing the material as a potential wound dressing for chronic wound care.

  6. 5. Functionalization of nanofibrillated cellulose with the host defense peptide KR-12

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

    Author : Alina Pavelescu; [2021]
    Keywords : KR-12; cellulose;

    Abstract : When the process of wound healing is disturbed, chronic wounds may develop. Chronic wounds heal very slowly over long periods of time, and require specialised care in order to prevent further infection. This causes considerable suffering to the patient and increased healthcare costs. READ MORE
