High-risk breast cancer: From biology to personalized therapeutic strategies
(2013-12-13)Adjuvant treatment regimens for breast cancer are primarily based on patient- and tumor-related factors, e.g. patient menopausal status, tumor stage and histological grade, and the status of molecular tumor markers (HER2/neu ... -
Hip range of motion and the prevalence of cam morphology in young athletes - clinical and radiological studies
(2020-11-05)Abstract Hip and groin pain is common among athletes and the active population, and one important cause for this is femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). To meet the diagnosis of FAIS, a combination of radiological ... -
How does the technical status of medical ultrasound equipment affect image quality? Studies based on human observer experiments and a novel method for automatic detection of defective transducers
(2023-08-25)Ultrasound as an imaging modality has a fundamental role in modern healthcare. The equipment, especially transducers, is fragile and handled daily, and transducers are known to sometimes become defective. The overall ... -
Human embryonic stem cells for bone engineering applications
(2011-05-26)The human skeleton represents the supporting structure of the organism and accounts for about 20 percent of the total body mass. Despite its intrinsic capacity to regenerate and self-repair, this ability is limited and ... -
Human growth patterns - with focus on pubertal growth and secular changes
(2018-10-30)Introduction: Human growth is a dynamic process, an indicator of health and disease. Previous used growth models have been limited in describing the pubertal growth spurt. ... -
Human ovulation. Studies on collagens, gelatinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases.
(2006-11-29)Ovulation is a highly regulated process, which involves the degradation and rupture of healthy tissue of the ovarian follicle and the extrusion of a fertilizable oocyte. This unique biological process is initiated by the ... -
Human papillomavirus infection and preterm delivery
