  1. 21. lntramuscular pressure in the lower leg - Studies on chronic exertional compartment syndrome and effects of external compression

    Författare :Sophia Lindorsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intramuscular pressure; external compression; compartment syndrome; chronic exertional compartment syndrome; fasciotomy;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis on intramuscular pressure (IMP) in the lower leg is concerned with two topics. The first of these is external compression; more specifically, the effect of compression stockings (CS). There are conflicting data on how compression garments such as CS affect IMP and muscle function during activity. LÄS MER

  3. 22. CSF biomarkers in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus- Diagnostics and pathophysiology

    Författare :Anna Jeppsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; cerebrospinal fluid; biomarkers;

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a disease of the elderly with enlarged ventricles despite a normal CSF pressure. Clinically, iNPH presents with gait- and balance disturbances, cognitive decline and incontinence. As the symptoms are reversed by shunt surgery, precise diagnostics is of essence. LÄS MER

  4. 23. On the pathophysiology of idiopathic adult hydrosephalus syndrome : energy metabolism, protein patterns, and intracranial pressure

    Författare :Aina Ågren Wilsson; Per Enblad; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :hydrocephalus; biochemical markers; microdialysis; cerebrospinal fluid; B waves; brain tissue oxygen tension; Neurology; neurologi;

    Sammanfattning : The symptoms in Idiopathic Adult Hydrocephalus Syndrome (IAHS) – gait disturbance, incontinence, and cognitive deficit – correlate anatomically to neuronal dysfunction in periventricular white matter. The pathophysiology is considered to include a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hydrodynamic disturbance, including pressure oscillations (“B waves”), in combination with cerebrovascular disease. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Applanation Resonance Tonometry for Intraocular Pressure Measurement

    Författare :Per Hallberg; Olof A. Lindahl; Anders Eklund; Christina Lindén; Per Ask; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Physics; Resonance; applanation; tonometry; glaucoma; Goldmann; biomechanical; Intraocular; ART; Fysik; fysik; Physics;

    Sammanfattning : Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the major risk factors for glaucoma. Since glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, reliable methods for measuring the IOP are important. This doctoral dissertation presents a new method, applanation resonance tonometry (ART), for measurement of IOP. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Early arterial disease of the lower extremities in diabetes : diagnostic evaluation and risk markers

    Författare :David Sahli; Maria Svensson; Eric Wahlberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetes mellitus; ankle blood pressure; toe blood pressure; screening; risk markers; mediasclerosis; macroangiopathy; fibrinolysis; inflammation; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Diabetology; Diabetologi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to assess the occurrence of early lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in patients with diabetes and to assess novel potential risk markers for development or worsening of LEAD in the same patients. In parallel different measures of impaired peripheral circulation were evaluated. LÄS MER
