Abstract:

Medical Laboratories Accreditation is covered by ISO 15189:2012 - Medical Laboratories — Requirements for Quality and Competence. In Portugal, accreditation processes are held under the auspices of the Portuguese Accreditation Institute (IPAC), which applies the Portuguese edition (NP EN ISO 15189:2014). Accordingly, Medical Laboratories accreditation processes now require the estimate of measurement uncertainty (MU) associated to the results. The Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) describes the calculation of MU, not contemplating the specific aspects of medical labor

Abstract:

The work presented in this thesis aimed to investigate the way in which individuals who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia make meaning in the face of medical uncertainty. Medical uncertainty in fibromyalgia has been found to be a defining feature of the condition, as much as specific clinical symptoms. The argument is supported by evidence from the literature as well as through empirical studies presented here. A review of the history and review of current medical literature on fibromyalgia established that little consensus exists among experts about the condition, creating uncertainty. Bi

Abstract:

It is known that slight variations in total dose delivered to the patient in external beam photon radiotherapy can significantly alter the probability of tumour control. For this reason, ICRU has recommended a goal of $ pm$5% precision in the dose delivery to the target volume. Several investigators have analyzed the degree of precision routinely achieved and have come to the conclusion that ICRU's goal can be attained, but in practice this is just barely so.<br>We have measured the degree of precision which exists in our institution by examining each step of the radiotherapy process on a coba

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with plants, chronic illness and medicine in Oku, Northwest Region, Cameroon. I focus on patient strategies to obtain effective medical outcomes, and on how such outcomes may be obtained through seeking traditional medicine in Oku. I argue that biomedical notions of efficacy do not appropriately represent the central and diverse roles that plants play in traditional medicine nor do they correctly represent how people in Oku evaluate the efficacy of plant-based traditional medicine. I argue instead that efficacy must be understood in terms of the emic concept of power.

Abstract:

This study explores the phenomenon of the informal medical consultation, a communication event in which an individual asks for medical information, advice, or care from an off-duty health professional with whom the individual has no formal patient-provider relationship. Using surveys and interviews, the study describes these consultations from the perspective of the health care professional and the informal patient. The study explores foundational theories that offer explanations for the phenomenon. The theories considered include social support, decision-making, social exchange, perceived par

Abstract:

Little is known about the lives of undocumented immigrants in Canada, and even less about the experiences of undocumented youth. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, this thesis examines the complex interplay between immigration policies and the lives of undocumented youth (14-20 years old) from Latin-American and Caribbean countries living in Montreal. There are two main objectives of this thesis. Firstly, through an examination of Canadian laws and court decisions in recent decades, it aims to investigate how immigration policies define undocumented minors as both threatening Others and vulner

Abstract:

Healthcare is an organizational field that has undergone profound change in the last few decades, an era characterized by market reform. Healthcare production has revealed both economic and quality problems in past eras, and reporting on these problems can be seen to have contributed to pressures for social reform. Yet, the move toward more market-oriented governance structures and design solutions also reflects a wider isomorphic institutional tendency for organizing social order.The conceptual frame work of this study takes a pessimistic stance on whether the market reform has achieved the i

Abstract:

Dynamically delivered intensity modulated beams (IMBs) pose unique verification problems that may be addressed with the use of integrating continuous 3D dosimeters such as gel based Fricke dosimeters. Accurate knowledge of the ability of these dosimeters to measure adequately and precisely the delivered dose is a prerequisite for their clinical use. The magnetic properties of the ferrous and ferric ions present in the gel based Fricke dosimeter after its irradiation are the basis for the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the measurement of dose.

Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) is a visualization technique that has proved to be a very powerful tool in many scientific visualization applications. Diagnostic medical imaging is one domain where DVR could provide clear benefits in terms of unprecedented possibilities for analysis of complex cases and highly efficient work flow for certain routine examinations. The full potential of DVR in the clinical environment has not been reached, however, primarily due to limitations in conventional DVR methods and tools.

Abstract:

Effective aeromedical evacuation of casualties is one of the most important problems in military medical systems because high-priority casualties will not survive without timely medical care. The decision making process for aeromedical evacuation consists of the following components: (1) identifying which aeromedical evacuation asset (see figure 1) to dispatch to the casualty, (2) locating aeromedical evacuation assets strategically in anticipation of incoming demand, and (3) deciding which medical treatment facility to transport the casualty. These decisions are further complicated because pr

Non-rigid image registration is an important tool for analysing morphometric differences in subjects with Alzheimer's disease from structural magnetic resonance images of the brain. This thesis describes a novel probabilistic approach to non-rigid registration of medical images, and explores the benefits of its use in this area of neuroimaging. Many image registration approaches have been developed for neuroimaging. The vast majority suffer from two limitations: Firstly, the trade-off between image fidelity and regularisation requires selection. Secondly, only a point-estimate of the mapping b

Abstract:

Individual decision-making and the generation of medical demand are crucial subjects in healthcare economics. The following scientific discussion can be classified into these threads. The demand for health care services is typically connected to characteristic imperfections reflecting a bias between an objective and a subjective assessment of a specific demand situation or externally caused frictions. For that reason, the realized demand is not necessarily connected to an efficient allocation of resources. Hence, it is a crucial objective to analyze individual decision-making related on the on

Background Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Sweden. In order to develop better treatments against cancer we need to better understand it. One area of special interest is cancer metabolism and the metabolic fluxes. As these fluxes cannot be directly measured, modeling is required to determine them. Due to the complexity of cell metabolism, some limitations in the metabolism model are required. As the TCA-cycle (TriCarboxylic Acid cycle) is one of the most important parts of cell metabolism, it was chosen as a starting point. The primary goal of this project has been to evaluate t

After the implantation of an ICD the entire life situation can be affected with psychological and social consequences for the patient and his/her next of kin. The healthcare professionals play a vital role in providing educational information, support, and technical follow-up of the device. During recent years more and more hospitals have introduced a more team based organisation where the physicians collaborate with specialised ICD nurses. Aim: The overall aim of

Nos últimos 30 anos, a área de aprendizagem de máquina desenvolveu-se de forma comparável com a Física no início do século XX. Esse avanço tornou possível a resolução de problemas do mundo real que anteriormente não poderiam ser solucionados por máquinas, devido à dificuldade de modelos puramente estatísticos ajustarem-se de forma satisfatória aos dados de treinamento. Dentre tais avanços, pode-se citar a utilização de técnicas de aprendizagem de máquina na área de Química Medicinal, envolvendo métodos de análise, representação e predição de informação molecular por meio de recursos computaci

Abstract:

The practice of medicine is characterized by complex situations that evoke uncertainty. Uncertainty has implications for the quality and costs of health care, thus emphasizing the importance of identifying its the main causes. Uncertainty can be manifested through human behaviour. Accordingly, in this dissertation, a machine learning model that detects events of uncertainty based on mouse cursor movements was created. To do so, 79 participants answered an online survey while the mouse data was being tracked. This data was used to extract meaningful features that allowed model testing an
