  1. 1. Positional Cloning of Disease Causing Genes : A Genetic Study of Obesity, Ichthyosis Prematurity Syndrome and Meniere's Disease

    Författare :Joakim Klar; Niklas Dahl; Catharina Larsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Positional cloning; Obesity; Ichthyosis; Meniere’s disease; RORa; PIK3C2G; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Positional cloning is a method to identify genes from their position in the genome without prior knowledge about function. We used this approach to investigate the basis for three distinct genetic disorders; Obesity, Ichthyosis Prematurity Syndrome and Meniere's disease. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Vertigo as a companion through life : Empirical studies regarding psychological factors in Menière's disease

    Författare :Christina Hägnebo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; coping; emotions; Menière s disease; psychology; quality of life; stress; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi; klinisk psykologi; Clinical Psychology;

    Sammanfattning : Vertigo, tinnitus and hearing impairment constitute the cardinal symptoms in Menière'sdisease. This inner ear disorder, the aetiology of which is not fully understood, may causeconsiderable distress to the individual. Previous psychological research regardingMenière's disease has mainly focused on general personality traits. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Case-crossover studies of the triggering of disease : myocardial infarction and Ménières disease

    Författare :Jette Möller; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Myocardial infarction; Ménières disease; case-crossover; trigger; physical exertion; anger; sexual activity; life events; misclassification; recall bias;

    Sammanfattning : The general objective of this thesis is to contribute to understanding of the aetiology of myocardial infarction. It focuses on identification and risk-quantification of the factors acting late in the causal chain towards manifest myocardial infarction, so-called triggers, by using the case-crossover design.

  4. 4. Clinical Electrocochleography in Menière´s disease

    Författare :Kornel Sass; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intrathoracic pressure; perilymphatic fistula; pressure exposure; endolymphatic hydrops; Menière´s disease; reproducibility; specificity; sensitivity; rarefaction click; condensation click; electrocochleography; summating potential; Otorhinolaryngology; audiology; auditive system and speech; Otorinolaryngologi; audiologi; hörsel- och talorganen;

    Sammanfattning : Electrocochleography (ECoG) is an objective method to evaluate cochlear electrophysiology. The recordings are considered to reflect the mechano-electric processes of the cochlea, and can indicate the presence of suspected endolymphatic hydrops. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Pitch, loudness and frequency selectivity in low-frequency hearing loss

    Författare :Jonas Brännström; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; frequency coding; Cochlea; frequency selectivity; hearing fluctuation; inner ear pressure; long-term measurement; Ménière s disease; low-frequency hearing loss; loudness; pitch.;

    Sammanfattning : Patients with Ménière's disease and cochlear hydrops show fluctuating low-frequency hearing loss (FLFHL). At present these changes are followed as patients' subjective reports and occasional measurements. LÄS MER
