  1. 21. Functional appliance treatment and stability in Class II/1 malocclusion, and masticatory muscle characteristics

    Författare :Gregory Antonarakis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Class II malocclusion; functional appliances; masticatory muscles; stability; ultrasonography; bite force;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: To evaluate the short-term antero-posterior effects on Class II division 1 malocclusion in growing children using functional appliances, and investigate whether the functional capacity of the masticatory musculature can be used as a predictive variable in determining the treatment and post-treatment effects following functional appliance treatment. Material and Methods: Firstly, a literature search was carried out identifying prospective clinical trials on the treatment of Class II malocclusion using functional appliances or/and headgear in growing children.

  3. 22. On the role of transversus abdominis in trunk motor control

    Författare :Martin Eriksson Crommert; Peter Engfeldt; Alf Thorstensson; Maria Ekblom; Birgitta Öberg; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :transversus abdominis; trunk muscles; EMG; intramuscular; IAP; motor control; postural control; spine stability; postural demand; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : All trunk muscles are important contributors to spine stability. However, the deepest abdominal muscle, transversus abdominis (TrA), with its characteristically horizontal fibre orientation seems to serve a unique function in trunk motor control. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Hormones, muscles and oncological outcome in men with rectal cancer

    Författare :John Tapper; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Paper I. The aim was to elucidate if testosterone (T) dose-dependently increase muscle size in abdomen and pelvis, analogous to the known anabolic influence on appendicular muscles. Participants were young (age 18-50) healthy men participating in the 5a-reductase trail, a double blinded RCT. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Passenger kinematics in evasive maneuvers

    Författare :Emma Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; volunteer kinematics; Active Human Body Model; pre-crash; active muscles; occupant variability; evasive maneuvers;

    Sammanfattning : In situations that might lead to a vehicle crash, drivers often perform an evasive maneuver, such as braking or steering, in an attempt to avoid a crash. If a crash was not avoided, the maneuver could influence the injury outcome by altering the occupant’s position. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Facial Feedback and the Experience of Emotion

    Författare :Sven Söderkvist; Tomas Furmark; Ulf Dimberg; Jeff Larsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Facial feedback; emotion; facial expressions; facial muscles; facial skin; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Emotional facial expressions are not only considered by most scholars to communicate and express emotional states, but are also thought to affect the person expressing them. Facial feedback occurs when activity in emotion-relevant facial muscles feeds back into the brain and initiates the corresponding emotion or modulates the intensity of an ongoing emotional state.
