Popular Abstract in Swedish Olika former av ljus har använts i åtminstone 5000 år i medicinska sammanhang. Man har i många tidiga kulturer använt solljus för att behandla olika sjukdomar. Under det senaste århundradet har användandet av ljus introducerats i den västerländska medicinen. Nya former av ljusterapi har införts. Med utvecklingen av lasern på 1960-talet dök nya användningsområden upp. LaSome aspects on the use of light for tissue characterization and treatment of malignant tumours are discussed within this thesis. The work presented aims at improving optical techniques for tissue characterization, especially to detect malignant and pre-malignant lesions. A knowledge on the interaction between light and tissue is of utmost importance to understand and improve the various technique

Den vanligaste orsaken till bristande hypofysfunktion (hypofysinsufficiens) hos vuxna patienter är tumörer belägna i hypofysen eller i hypofysens närhetPremature atherosclerosis, cardiovascular risk factors and increased cardiovascular mortality have been shown in patients with hypopituitarism on conventional hormone treatment, but without growth hormone (GH) replacement. The aims of paper I-III were to investigate separately the risks for cerebrovascular and cardiac mortality as well as the incidence of cardiovascular disease in patients with hy

This paper presents theory for stability analysis and design for a class of observer-based feedback control systems. Relaxation of the controllability and observability conditions imposed in the Yakubovich-Kalman-Popov (YKP) lemma can be made for a class of nonlinear systems described by a linear time-invariant system (LTI) with a feedback-connected cone-bounded nonlinear element. It is shown how
