    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness is a protozoan disease prevalent in Sub-saharan Africa. It is caused by the genus Trypanosoma and occurs in humans and animals and is transmitted by infected tsetse flies. Trypanosoma brucei (T b.) rhodesiense and T b. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Charcot-Marie-tooth disease : muscle morphological and neurophysiological aspects

    Författare :UllaBritt Ericson-Gripenstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a common inherited disorder of the peripheral nervous system characterised by distal weakness and muscular atrophy, sensory disturbance of the distal limbs, diminished or absent deep tendon reflexes and often pes cavus. CMT is divided into two major groups based on clinical and electrophysiological findings. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Tracing local hyaluronan after ocular anterior segment trauma

    Författare :Anna Makar; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oftalmologi; Ophtalmology; COX-2 inhibitors; radiolabeling; trauma response; aqueous humor; hyaluronan; iris;

    Sammanfattning : Hyaluronan has been found in the eye in varying amounts and at different sites. It is involved in physiological and pathological processes, though many aspects of its bio-logi-cal functions are still unclear. We have studied the role of iris tissue in hyal-uro-nan production in the anterior segment of the eye, and its changes after trauma. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Transurethral microwave thermotherapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia : mechanisms of action and clinical outcome

    Författare :Marianne Brehmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :benign prostatic hyperplasia; transurethral microwave thermotherapy; clinical outcome; sham treatment; innervation; urethral sensitivity; necrosis; apoptosis; prostatic stromal cells in culture;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The therapeutic value of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a matter of debate. Aims: Evaluation of the clinical effect of TUMT and of various duration of the treatment; investigation of the kind and extent of tissue lesions induced by TUMT and of the mechanisms behind the therapeutic effect; investigation of the effect of heat on human prostate stromal cells in cell culture.

  7. 20. Sarcopenia

    Författare :Erik Edström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Aging; sarcopenia; atrophy; regeneration; innervation; dietary restriction;

    Sammanfattning : Sarcopenia (Greek; sarcos: flesh, and penia: poverty) is the pronounced muscle loss that affects the aging population. Sareopenia of the leg muscles results in loss of independence and increased morbidity in the elderly. Emphasizing hind limb motor function, this thesis investigates different aspects of aging and sarcopenia in a rodent model. LÄS MER
