NEW STUDY. In collaboration with colleagues at Chalmers, researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy have developed a new material that prevents infections in wounds – a specially designed hydrogel, that works against all types of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant ones. The new material offers great hope for combating a growing global problem. Contributors at Sahlgrenska Academy are Sara Svensson, Margarita Trobos and Peter Thomsen. The World Health Organization describes antibiotic-resistant bacteria as one…
“A huge opportunity to reach students at the Faculty of Science and Chalmers”
TECHNOLOGY AND HEALTH. May 11 is the date for the master thesis project fair, which brings together supervisors and students from Sahlgrenska Academy, the Faculty of Science and Chalmers University of Technology. The purpose of the fair is to create new interdisciplinary projects. Supervisors can propose projects for the fair until May 5 (extended deadline). “This is a huge opportunity to reach students in the natural sciences and technology who…

AI can discover secondary stroke after subarachnoid hemorrhage
AI NEWS. In the future, perhaps complications following subarachnoid hemorrhage can be reduced or the threat of an ensuing stroke can be avoided. A new monitoring system is being developed which will create an alarm and alert the physician if a patient develop signs of oxygen deficiency in the brain. In a joint project between medicine and engineering at the University of Gothenburg, researchers are using machine learning and AI…
They are the first doctoral students in medical engineering in collaboration with Chalmers
DOCTORAL STUDIES. So far, two doctoral students at Sahlgrenska Academy have begun their doctoral studies in medical engineering in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology. The thesis projects for both Eva Hagberg and Michael Kercsik concern developing assessment support based on artificial intelligence (AI) for different types of heart imaging. Eva Hagberg’s thesis project deals with automated analysis of cardiac ultrasound readings. Ultrasound assessment, a common way to examine heart…
