    Sammanfattning : Photodynamic therapy – pain and aspects of pain relief Christina Halldin Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Institute of Clinical Sciences at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden ABSTRACT Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment option for superficial basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ or Bowen’s disease (BD), and actinic keratoses (AK). One of the advantages of PDT is the possibility to treat field cancerization. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :Evaluation of pain; pain; pain rating; pain threshold; sensory stimulation;

    Sammanfattning : Pain is a worldwide clinical problem that causes great suffering for the individual and costs for society. The assessment and evaluation of perceived pain is necessary for diagnosis, choice of treatment, and for the evaluation of treatment efficacy. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Itch and Pain Inhibitory Mechanisms in Humans - evidence for a differential control of nociceptive senses

    Författare :Hans-Jörgen Nilsson; Neurofysiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsychology; Neurology; Human; TENS; Somatosensory; Pruritus; Analgesia; Pain; Nociception; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : It is known that stimulation of thin nerve afferents can inhibit itch and pain and that the nociceptive systems have a detailed topographical organisation, with subsystems exhibiting specific excitatory and inhibitory receptive fields. On this basis, a new technique was developed, termed Cutaneous Field Stimulation (CFS), that electrically stimulates thin nerve fibers innervating specific skin fields. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  7. 5. On the causes of ventricular arrhythmia, its treatment and outcome

    Författare :Christina M Holmgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Cardiac arrest; ICD; ventricular arrhythmia;

    Sammanfattning : On the causes of ventricular arrhythmia, its treatment and outcome Christina Holmgren Institute of Medicine Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg Göteborg, Sweden ABSTRACT Background: Ventricular arrhythmia is the most common aetiology of sudden cardiac death. Death can sometimes be prevented by the implantation of a defibrillator (ICD). LÄS MER
