  1. 1. Late effects on hearing and balance after treatment for childhood cancer

    Författare :Einar-Jon Einarsson; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Childhood cancer; Chemotherapy; Late effects; Hearing; Word Recogniton; Postural Control; Oculomotor Control; Subjective horizontal and vertical; Visual dependence; Self-reported disability and handicap.;

    Sammanfattning : During the last several decades, improvements in diagnostic skills and in the treatment of children with cancer have substantially increased the number of long term survivors of childhood cancer. Treatment of children with cytostatic drugs is known to create a range of late adverse effects. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Multisensory control of gaze stabilization : from brainstem to bedside

    Författare :Tobias Wibble; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Without the continuous updates provided by the vestibular and visual systems, our world would appear blurry and unstable. In order to allow the retina to reliably record incoming light in a meaningful way, the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and optokinetic reflex (OKR) aim to stabilize our gaze on visual features.

  4. 3. Effects of acute alcohol intoxication on human sensory orientation and postural control

    Författare :Fredrik Modig; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Alcohol affects balance and is related to falls and injuries. Even though alcohol effects on balance and eye movement have been studied before we know less about the dose and time dependent effects and how each supportive sense to balance contributes during acute alcohol intoxication.

  5. 4. Diagnostic considerations on whiplash associated disorders

    Författare :Carsten Tjell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Whiplash associated disorders; neck propriocepdon; oculomotor function; smooth pursuit eye movements; velocity gain; tension headache; cervical vertigo; auditory brainstem response; vestibular tests; hearing impairment; speech recognition; reading ability; cognitive function;

    Sammanfattning : Whiplash is caused by an acceleration-/deceleration transfer of energy to the neck. It commonly occurs in motor vehicle accidents. The force may result in lesions of the cervical spine and soft tissues, which may result in many clinical manifestations: whiplash associated disorders (WAD), according to the Quebec classification.

  7. 5. Inter- and intracellular resistance and vulnerability in motor neuron diseases

    Författare :Jik Nijssen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are fatal diseases presenting with degeneration and loss of lower motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord. However, oculomotor and trochlear motor neurons that control eye movement, are resistant until late stages of disease. LÄS MER
