Transpulmonary pressure during mechanical ventilation
(2013-12-13)Background: Mechanical ventilation can aggravate lung injury by repetitive opening and closing of lung units, overdistention and undue pressure on pulmonary structures. Guidelines exist for lung protective ventilation, but ... -
Transurethral microwave thermotherapy and transurethral resection of the prostate. Evaluation and development.
(2021-04-29)ABSTRACT Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common among men and become more prevalent with increasing age. One frequent cause is benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Patients with LUTS/BPO can be ameliorated if the ... -
Transurethral resection of the prostate: studies on efficacy, morbidity and costs
(2020-10-23)Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), based on benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), are increasingly common, in ageing men. A considerable amount of men will ultimately progress with deteriorating symptoms or with the ... -
Treating radiation-induced trismus in head and neck cancer;Exercise intervention and risk structures
(2015-01-07)Abstract The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the incidence of trismus in head and neck cancer (HNC) and to assess the treatment of radiation-induced trismus with a structured jaw exercise program using jaw ... -
Treatment failure in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia: factors associated with frequency and outcome of resistant disease and relapse.
(2023-03-30)Although the prognosis for childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has improved over the last decades to a survival of over 70%, still 30-40 % relapse and 5-10% experience resistant disease with poor prognosis. The aim of ... -

Treatment of early prostate cancer - reducing side effects without jeopardizing cure
(2021-09-29)The overall aim of this thesis is to gain further knowledge of how surgical choices affect the outcome for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for early prostate cancer including preoperative evaluation and long-term ... -
Treatment of Head and Neck Cancer, Effects on Health-Related Quality of Life and Nutrition
(2023-05-24)The aim of this thesis was to explore the impact of treatment on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), fatigue and nutrition in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. The tumour locations often induce problems with swallowing ... -
TRISMUS Incidence, Effects on Health-Related Quality of Life and Development of the Gothenburg Trismus Questionnaire
(2013-11-18)The word trismus is modern latin, derived from the greek word ”trismos” meaning ”grinding” or ”rasping”. Trismus is defined as a limitation in the mouth/jaw-opening ability due to a reduced mandible mobility. A Maximal ... -
Trochanteric Hip Fractures Clinical Outcomes and the Cut-out Complication
(2017-10-24)The established treatment for trochanteric hip fractures is internal fixation, either intramedullary (nail) or extramedullary (plate). Approximately 10% of these patients suffer from mechanical complications, the most ... -
Tumour evolution and novel biomarkers in breast cancer
(2019-04-30)Several gene signatures have been proposed in the past two decades to improve outcome prediction for breast cancer patients and to guide treatment decisions. Current treatment guidelines, however, primarily focus on ... -
Tumour vasculature, oxygenation and radiosensitivity - a numerical modelling study
