1. 16. Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea : Evaluation of surgical treatments and immunological aspects

   Författare :Isabella Sjölander; Danielle Friberg; Johan Hellgren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstructive sleep apnea; pediatric sleep disordered breathing; tonsillar surgery; Polysomnography; adenotonsillotomy; adenotonsillectomy; Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire; OSA-18; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi;

   Sammanfattning : Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder often caused by  enlargement of the adenoid and the tonsils. The peak prevalence is among children who are two to six years of age, when the lymphatic tissue is  most active. Clinical diagnosis can be challenging, since the symptoms are often unspecific.

   Sammanfattning : Background: Treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC) is often multimodal, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. The anatomic location of HNC and its treatments often affect vital functions such as swallowing and speech, but also physical appearance, leading to a risk for social withdrawal and nutritional difficulties that can affect the patient’s quality of life.

4. 18. Adaptation and learning in postural control

   Författare :Fredrik Tjernström; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Postural control; Adaptation; Learning; Sensory reweighting;

   Sammanfattning : The importance of the ability to use bipedal stance and gait in everyday life cannot be underestimated. Bipedal stance is learned during childhood and constantly adapted to changing circumstances throughout life. Failure to attain and maintain the control of upright posture can have catastrophic consequences. LÄS MER

5. 19. The Human Cochlea and Cochlear Implantation : Morphological Characteristics and Clinical Correlations

   Författare :Nadine Schart-Morén; Helge Rask-Andersen; Elina Mäki-Torkko; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cochlear implantation; micro-CT; synchrotron; facial nerve stimulation; hearing preservation; round window;

   Sammanfattning : The most common sensory deficit in the world is sensorineural hearing loss. Cochlear implantation (CI) can majorly contribute to restore hearing, not only in patients with severe to profound hearing loss, but also in hearing-impaired patients with residual low-frequency hearing.

   Sammanfattning : The inner ear lies sheltered in the temporal bone and consists of basically three parts: the cochlea (the hearing organ), the vestibular (the balance organ), and the endolymphatic duct (ED) and endolymphatic sac (ES). The ES and ED are located in a bony canal, the vestibular aqueduct (VA), located on the medial side of the vestibule. LÄS MER
