Advanced Methods for Culturing Neuronal Cells with Microstructures
(2011-06-08)During the development of the neural tissue of the nervous system, supporting neuroglial cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) guide the migration of the immature functional neurons, provide them with a scaffold to grow ... -
Analysis of Attachment, Proliferation and Maturation of Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells on Specific Substrata
(2011-06-08)Most severe degenerative diseases of retina are often due to malfunctions of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Absence of effective treatments has led to development of cell-biomaterial constructs with the aim of creating ... -
Application of Magnet Quench Analysis
(2011-04-06)Post Mortem Analysis is a software tool built for CERN for hardware commissioning and post mortem event analyzing for the LHC. Magnet Quench Analysis application is a part of the Post Mortem Analysis tool and serves a base ... -
Biomaterials for dry eye syndrome
(2012-08-15)Dry eye syndrome (DES) is disease of the eye surface, where tear film is ruptured and lubrication or moistness of the corneal and conjunctival epithelia do not work properly. DES is most common in older people, but also ... -
Development of a Portable and Easy-to-Use EEG System to be Employed in Emergency Situations
(2011-04-06)This thesis describes the development and evaluation of two portable devices intended for the recording of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in emergency situations. The topic originated from the EEG in Emergency Medicine ... -
Development of Implantable Pulse Oxygen Saturation Meter for Dairy-Cattle Respiratory Monitoring
(2012-01-11)This master of science thesis introduces an implantable measurement device that can be used to measure oxygen saturation (SpO2) with pulse oximetry methods. The device is intended to be incorporated into a implantable ... -
The Effect of Biphasic Electric Current on Mesenchymal Stem Cells Cultured on Polypyrrole Surface
(2011-11-09)Electrical stimulation (ES) is a novel approach to osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Even though ES has been acknowledged as a treatment method for bone fractures already for two decades, it has ... -
The Effect of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sequence on the Detection of Lymphomas
(2012-06-06)Because of its superior sensitivity toward soft tissues, including neoplasm, MRI imaging is rapidly becoming one of preferred imaging modality. Improving the sensitivity of MRI for the detection of aggressive lymphomas, ... -
Electrode Contact Impedance and Biopotential Signal Quality
(2012-09-05)Electroencephalography (EEG) is the recording of potential fluctuations originating from electrical activity of brain. It is used in diagnosis of neurological disorders, monitoring the depth of anaesthesia and evaluation ... -
Front-end Electronics for Fast in Vitro Biological Measurements.
(2012-12-05)Epithelium forms tight membranes that efficiently take part in secretion and absorption between the two lining tissues. A tight membrane of this nature has a low DC conductivity and this is generally used to assess the ... -
Imaging and Analysis of P(L/D)LA 96/4 Joint Scaffold Using Computed Tomography
(2011-06-08)The architecture of tissue engineering scaffold has a strong effect on its functionality. The micro-computed tomography (?-CT) is a non-destructive X-ray irradiation based imaging method which has been widely used in ... -
The Influence of Filtration, Tube Current and Number of Projections on CBCT Image Quality
(2011-10-05)As cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is becoming popular in temporal bone imaging, there is a pressing need to improve the quality of images rendered by this device in temporal bone imaging. This prospective cadaver ... -
Investigation of interactions between cholesteryl ester transfer protein and anacetrapib by using molecular simulations
(2012-03-07)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Western societies. The most important cause behind these diseases is a complex condition affecting arterial blood vessels denoted as ... -
Microparticles in differentiation of retinal pigment epithelial cells from human pluripotent stem cells
(2012-01-11)The number of people affected by degenerative diseases of the retina increases notably due to the longer life expectancy. The weakening of the sight concerns especially older people, who suffer from degeneration of the ... -
Risk Management System for Medical Standalone Software
(2011-12-07)According to update of Medical Device Directive (MDD) by European Union in 2007, the software as such can be a medical device. The direct consequence of the change of the directive is, that now depending on the intended ... -
Simulations of the electrical activity of cardiomyocytes derived from human embrionic stem cells
(2012-04-04)In this thesis, a cellular automata based modelling software is developed for studying the electrical activation of cardiomyocytes. The mathematical models help to simulate and study different phenomena related to the ... -
