Abstract Background. Clinical treatment with radionuclides is usually preceded by biokinetic and dosimetry studies in small animals. Evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy is essential and must rely on accurate dosimetry, which in turn must be based on a realistic geometrical model that properly describes the transport of radiation. It is also important to include the source distribution in the do

Outcome questionnaires are increasingly being established as a validated mode of acquiring unbiased information on the results after health interventions. Using an assortment of questionnaires, distributed by mail to 27 372 and to a subgroup of 3 600 patients on file in the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty register (SKAR), relevant questionnaires were found to represent a feasable means of acquiring info

The connection between pancreatic cancer and venous thrombosis has been discussed for almost 150 years. The exact pathophysiological mechanisms are still partly understood, but it is known that pancreatic cancer induces a prothrombotic and hypercoagulable state and genetic events involved in neoplastic transformation (e.g., KRAS, c-MET, p53), procoagulant factors [e.g., tissue factor (TF), platele

This article presents a study of three asylum-seeking men from Iran and Afghanistan. It aimed to explore how and if they experienced occupations as occupations in a Danish asylum centre and how their life experience shaped their choice and value of current occupations. In-depth narrative interviews explored the participants’ occupational history and its influence on their occupations in the asylum

The aim of this work was to develop a pharmacokinetic model for the analysis of the pharmacokinetics of (111)Inlabeled monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in B-cell lymphoma patients and to evaluate the model's ability to predict a subsequent radioimmunotherapy by (90)Y-labeled mAbs. Data from quantified scintillation camera images and blood samples were used to fit a compartment model. The modeling incl

Since the introduction of unilateral parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) it has been debated wherever this approach is associated with greater long-term risk for recurrence compared to bilateral neck exploration.

Macromolecular drugs hold great promise as novel therapeutics of several major disorders, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. However, their use is limited by lack of efficient, safe, and specific delivery strategies. Successful development of such strategies requires interdisciplinary collaborations involving researchers with expertise on e.g., polymer chemistry, cell biology, nano technol
