Turku University Hospital

Neurosciences and Critical Care

Clinical work includes aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage requiring intensive care and ventilatory support, with interest in neuroprotection, brain injury, and neurological outcome after severe acute cerebral events.

  • Intensive care neuroprotection
  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage
  • Ventilatory care

Research activity also extends to recovery after critical illness, with attention to survival and functional outcomes in acute neurologic disease.

Urologic Oncology and Prostate Disease

The sponsor is active in prostate cancer, including metastatic prostate cancer, intermediate-risk prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia, as well as treatment-related imaging and biomarker evaluation involving PSMA and FAP.

  • Prostate cancer
  • Metastatic disease
  • Molecular imaging

Additional interest is seen in the effects of androgen deprivation therapy, prostate-directed local treatment, and the interaction between prostate therapies and gut microbiota.

Oncology Imaging and Cancer Diagnostics

Research spans several solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, and bladder cancer, with emphasis on PET/CT, SPECT/CT, and lesion detection in nodal and distant metastatic disease.

  • Non-small cell lung cancer
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Bladder cancer

Diagnostic interests also include staging, metastatic assessment, and tumor-specific tracer expression in malignancies across the genitourinary and gastrointestinal systems.

General Surgery and Appendicitis

Multiple studies focus on complicated acute appendicitis and uncomplicated acute appendicitis, with interest in antibiotic treatment, disease etiology, and links between appendicitis and the intestinal microbiota.

  • Acute appendicitis
  • Antimicrobial therapy
  • Gut microbiota

Work in this area also covers treatment selection and short-term clinical recovery in abdominal infection.

Inflammation, Gynecology, and Musculoskeletal Care

Additional research includes endometriosis with infertility and pelvic pain, hip osteoarthrosis and postoperative pain management, and inflammatory disorders such as active arthritis, vasculitis, and pulmonary sarcoidosis.

  • Endometriosis
  • Hip osteoarthrosis
  • Inflammatory disease

There is also interest in pediatric vesicoureteral reflux diagnostics and imaging approaches for systemic inflammatory conditions.
