  1. 6. Clinical and Genetic Studies of Hearing Impairment

    Författare :Carina Frykholm; Ulla Friberg; Hans-Christian Larsen; Niklas Dahl; Marie-Louise Bondeson; Lisbeth Tranebjaerg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Otorhinolaryngology; NF2; array-CGH; Meniere’s disease; PIK3C2G; X-linked; progressive; hearing impairment; Otorhinolaryngologi;

    Sammanfattning : Monogenic disorders offer a possibility for studies of genetic disturbances in hearing impairment—a knowledge which could be essential for development of future treatment options. In this thesis, the underlying genetic disturbances in neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) and familial Meniere’s disease (FMD) were evaluated, and familial X-linked hearing impairment was described from a clinical point of view.

  3. 7. The effects of plasminogen deficiency on the healing of tympanic membrane perforations

    Författare :Annika Hansson; Sten Hellström; Diana Berggren; Tor Ny; Magnus von Unge; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tympanic membrane; macrophages; neutrophils; fibrin ogen ; inflammation; keratinocyte migration; wound healing; uPA; tPA; in vitro; Otorhinolaryngology; Otorhinolaryngologi;

    Sammanfattning : The healing of tympanic membrane (TM) perforations is a complex wound healing process including inflammation, migration of keratinocytes and tissue remodelling. Most TM perforations in human heal spontaneously, however some perforations become chronic, and the reason to why is still largely unknown. LÄS MER

  5. 9. On Predictive Factors of Treatment Response in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Författare :Fredrik Jerhammar; Karin Roberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Otorhinolaryngology; Otorhinolaryngologi;

    Sammanfattning : Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer and yearly include 500 000 new cases worldwide. The outcomes for these patients have not been significantly improved over the last decades and the five year survival is still around 50 %. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Oral Motor Function, Voice, Speech and Language in Children with Tonsillar Hypertrophy in Relation to Surgical Outcome

    Författare :Inger Lundeborg Hammarström; Anita McAllister; Elisabeth Hultcrantz; Anneli Yliherva; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Otorhinolaryngology; Otorhinolaryngologi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was two-fold: first, to evaluate four different functional aspects of the speech and language spectrum; oral-motor function, voice, /s/-articulation and phonology in preschool children with tonsillar hypertrophy before and after surgical treatment. The second aim was to investigate weather the outcome of surgery was equal for two surgical techniques; tonsillectomy or tonsillotomy combined with adenoidectomy when necessary. LÄS MER
