1. 21. Identification of pathways of degeneration and protection in motor neuron diseases

   Författare :Susanne Nichterwitz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Motor neuron diseases preferentially affect specific neuronal populations with distinct clinical features even if disease-causing genes are expressed in many cell types. In spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), somatic motor neurons are selectively vulnerable to a deficiency in the broadly expressed survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. LÄS MER

3. 22. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder : alterations of motor behaviour and dopaminergic transmission

   Författare :Aurelija Jucaite; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :AD HD; DCD; neurodevelopmental disorder; PET; dopamine transporter; dopamine D2 receptors; raclopride; striatum; midbrain; anticipatory postural adjustments;

   Sammanfattning : Altered catecholaminergic neurotransmission in the brain has long been thought to be of importance in the regulation of motor behavior and cognitive performance in children who had symptoms of distractability, impulsivity and clumsiness. The dopamine theory of AD/HD has mainly been substantiated by: i) the effects of psychostimulants, which target the dopamine transporter (DAT), and thereby reduce impulsiveness and inattentiveness, increase the striatal cerebral blood flow and functional activity, and ii) the evidence from linkage studies associating the AD/HD syndrome with allelic variations of genes encoding the dopamine transporter and, possibly, the dopamine D4 receptors.

4. 23. Central and peripheral adaptation after nerve repair with a synthetic biocompatible adhesive

   Författare :Thomas Landegren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The epineural repair technique is currently the accepted standard for peripheral nerve repair. However, due to the demanding nature of this method, it is not uncommon to delay or even omit action, especially in situations which are associated with extensive traumatic injuries. LÄS MER

5. 24. Cerebral palsy in Mulago hospital, Uganda : comorbidity, diagnosis and cultural adaptation of an assessment tool

   Författare :Angelina Kakooza-Mwesige; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Cerebral palsy;

   Sammanfattning : Background and aim: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common form of chronic motor disability that begins in early childhood and persists throughout life. The clinical features, including motor function, comorbidities and nutritional status, have not been investigated in Uganda. LÄS MER

7. 25. Losing control and developing concerns : The complexities of ageing postural control and fall-related concerns

   Författare :Mascha Pauelsen; Lars Nyberg; Ulrik Röijezon; Irene Vikman; Jorunn Lægdheim Helbostad; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ageing; postural balance; postural control; sensory and motor systems; fall-related concerns; fear of falling; neurological models; Physiotherapy; Fysioterapi;

   Sammanfattning : With the world population shifting its proportions towards higher ages, it is imperative to increase healthspan rather than lifespan, both for the sakes of community sustainability as well as individual quality of life. One of the main means to obtain healthy ageing, is a concept called active ageing, as activity has shown to slow down the natural ageing process. LÄS MER
