1. 1. Cold feet in children with neurological disorders

   Författare :Lena Svedberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Skin temperature; Acupuncture; Autonomic dysfunction; Cerebral palsy; Spinal cord disorders; Pain; Constipation; Well-being; Parental health; Parental mood; Restricted time; Services support; Sleeping disorders;

   Sammanfattning : These studies focused on presence of cold feet in children with neurological disorders and raised the questions: Does acupuncture affect skin temperature? Are cold feet a general symptom in children with neurological disorders? Are cold feet associated with other symptoms? What are the moods, health, and daily life experiences of these children’s parents? Study I assessed effects of acupuncture on skin temperature in children with neurological disorders. The study was of pilot character, to determine if further investigation in a larger, well-characterised group could be worthwhile. LÄS MER

3. 2. The human diving response : effects of temperature and training

   Författare :Erika Schagatay; Lunds universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Djurfysiologi; pig; human; training; breath-holding time; breaking point; cold-receptors; arterial blood; vasoconstriction; bradycardia; diving reflex; diving response; Breath-hold diving; Animal physiology; simulated diving; Organism biology; Organismbiologi; Sports; Idrott; Physiology; Fysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : The aim was to elucidate the cardiovascular response associated with breath-hold diving, especially the effects of temperature in its elicitation and the effects of different types of training on the human diving response (DR) and breath-holding time (BHT), and to evaluate the human DR in a mammalian perspective. A model for simulated diving by apnea and facial immersion in cold water was developed. LÄS MER

4. 3. Human responses to cold and wind

   Författare :Désirée Gavhed; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Bradycardia; blood pressure; clothing insulation; cold; exercise; heart rate; IREQ; mean skin temperature; metabolic rate; rectal temperature; subjective ratings; wind; Wind Chill Index; work.;

   Sammanfattning : Cold is stressful for the human being and has physical, subjective and physiological effects. Body cooling must be prevented to provide for the worker's comfort and safety in cold workplaces. LÄS MER

5. 4. Breastfeeding of preterm infants. Associated factors in infants, mothers, and clinical practice

   Författare :Ragnhild Måstrup; Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Breastfeeding has even more pronounced health benefits for preterm infants than for full-term infants, but preterm infants are less breastfed. There is no consensus in Danish neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) about which clinical methods facilitate breastfeeding. LÄS MER

7. 5. Systemic effects of occupational exposure to arsenic : with special reference to peripheral circulation and nerve function

   Författare :Birgitta Json Lagerkvist; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arsenic toxicity; Cold-induced vasospasm; Finger systolic pressure; Nerve conduction velocity; Occupational exposure; Raynaud s phenomenon; Serotonin antagonist;

   Sammanfattning : Smelter workers who were exposed to air-borne arsenic for a mean of 23 years, and age-matched referents, were examined with clinical, physiological, and neurophysiological methods. Exposure to arsenic in workroom air was estimated to have been around the Swedish occupational limits, which were 500 yg/m before 1975 and 50 yg/ra thereafter. LÄS MER
