Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Dental Phobia and Anxiety
The first book to describe evidence-based treatment of dental phobia using brief CBT, based on the pioneering single-session treatment for specific phobias developed by Lars-Göran Öst. Brings together research, experience and techniques from clinical psychology and dentistry to describe evidence-based treatment of dental phobia in clinical and dental contexts Chapters describe epidemiology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, symptoms, clinical characteristics and consequences, and aetiology of dental phobia Also covers related issues including intra-oral injection phobia, dental treatment of fearful children, and the use of medication to supplement psychological treatment of fear
Organic Bioelectronics for Neurotransmitter Release at the Speed of Life
The signaling dynamics in neuronal networks includes processes ranging from lifelong neuromodulation to direct synaptic neurotransmission. In chemical synapses, the time delay it takes to pass a signal from one neuron to the next lasts for less than a millisecond. At the post-synaptic neuron, further signaling is either up- or down-regulated, dependent on the specific neurotransmitter and receptor. While this up- and down-regulation of signals usually runs perfectly well and enables complex performance, even a minor dysfunction of this signaling system can cause major complications, in the shape of neurological disorders. The field of organic bioelectronics has the ability to interface neuro...
Wireless Bioelectronic Devices Driven by Deep Red Light
The use of electronic devices in medical care is one of the main targets of precision medicine. The field of bioelectronic medicine uses electronic devices to diagnose or treat diseases and disorders in a complementary or alternative way to chemical drugs. It has been more than sixty years since the world’s first implantable battery-driven cardiac pacemaker was implanted here in Sweden. Since then, electronic therapies have been implemented for neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, sensory and motor function restoration, and many more. However, electronics can also be used for delivery of conventional drugs in a more controlled, localized, and specific fashion. Th...
Interacting with biological membranes using organic electronic devices
Many physiological processes are reliant on activities in the cell membrane. These activities are of great importance to our well-being since they allow the cells to respond to their environment and communicate with each other to function as tissues and organs. In this thesis the use of organic electronic devices to interface with cell membranes has been explored. Organic electronics are especially suited for the task given their ability to transduce ionic to electronic signals. Four scientific papers are included in the thesis, where organic electronic devices are used together with living cells and supported lipid bilayers (SLB). In the first paper a ferroelectric cell release surface is p...
Iontronics
With contributions from a community of experts, the book focuses on the use of ionic functions to define the principle of operation in polymer devices. It begins by reviewing the scientific understanding and important scientific discoveries made on the electrochemistry of conjugated polymers. It examines the known effects of ion incorporation, including the theory and modulation of electrochemistry in polymer films, and it explores the coupling of electronic and ionic transport in polymer films.
Organic electronic materials for hydrogen peroxide production
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important oxidant, used in various fields of industry, such as paper manufacturing, production of polymers, detergents, and cosmetics. Considering that the molecule degrades only to H2O and O2, it is regarded as a green chemical. Unfortunately, the incumbent method of H2O2 synthesis, based on anthraquinone oxidation, although efficient, is not environmentally friendly, as it requires fossil fuels and significant energy input. Therefore, there are efforts underway to reduce the ecological impact of hydrogen peroxide production. Some of the most promising approaches involve catalytic reduction of O2 to H2O2 in an aqueous environment. This can be coupled with wate...
Semiconducting Polymers
Halbleitende Polymere sind ein faszinierendes interdisziplinäres Forschungsgebiet, das kurz vor dem anwendungstechnischen Durchbruch steht. Insbesondere für neue Komponenten in der Photonik und Optoelektronik bieten diese Materialien ein enormes Potential. Dieses zweibändige Handbuch mit Beiträgen herausragender Experten aus den Feldern Organische und Physikalische Chemie, Festkörperphysik bis hin zur Verfahrenstechnik, beschreibt detailliert die Grundlagen, die zum Verständnis und zur Kontrolle dieser faszinierenden Materialien notwendig sind.
Guided Regeneration of the Human Skin
Every day and in all parts of the world, humans experience different grades of wounding and tissue loss of the skin, thus initiating one of the most complex biological processes. Acute and chronic wounds, as well as the additional problem of skin scarring, involve not only great suffering for the patient but also extensive health care costs for the society. Although the wound-healing process is a wellstudied field much knowledge must be gained to unlock the door to regenerative pathways in humans. Epidermis heals by complete regeneration, but dermal and full thickness injuries heal with fibrosis and scar formation. In Papers I and II, we studied whether dermal scarring could be turned into r...
