  1. 6. Studies of polyglutamine repeats and their biology in relation to disease

    Författare :Cecilia Zander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :trinucleotide repeat; polyglutamine; autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia; repeat expansion detection; spastic paraplegia; autophagy; inclusions;

    Sammanfattning : Polyglutamine repeat expansions of the CAG/CTG type frequently lead to disease characterized by progressive neuronal dysfunction. These diseases typically begins in mid-life and result in severe neurodegeneration. To a certain extent they present with similar features and probably share a common mechanism of pathogenesis.

  3. 7. Performance and trainability in paraplegics : motor function, shoulder muscle strength and sitting balance before and after kayak ergometer training

    Författare :Anna Bjerkefors; Alf Thorstensson; Jan Fridén; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Balance; electromyography; exercise; kinematics; motor skills; paraplegia; postural control; shoulder joint; spinal cord injury; wheelchair;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a complete or partial loss of motor and/or sensory function below the injury level. An SCI causes extensive functional impairment compelling many persons to wheelchair usage. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Spinal cord repair strategies

    Författare :Henrich Cheng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Spinal cord; injury; paraplegia; repair; regeneration; nerve graft; fibrin glue; aFGF; GDNF; gait; axonal tracing Henrich Cheng; 1996;

    Sammanfattning : Regeneration of long fiber tracts does not occur spontaneously in the adult mammalian brain or spinal cord. The present work is an attempt to develop a repair strategy that may overcome this lack of recovery and apply it to spinal cord injury. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Energy expenditure and accelerometer cut-points for sedentary behavior and physical activity in spinal cord injury : implication for guiding and prevention

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

    Sammanfattning : Background: A motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI) alters the prerequisites for physical activity (PA) and subsequently energy expenditure. Persons with SCI above thoracic level six have a compromised physiological response, which further compromises energy expenditure, during exercise. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Management of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms and dissections : with emphasis on spinal cord protection in aneurysm repair and non-surgical treatment of type-B dissection

    Författare :Anders Winnerkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Aortic cross-clamping; cerebrospinal fluid drainage; GFAp; NFL; retrograde venous spinal cord perfusion; somatosensory evoked potentials; S100B; thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm; type B aortic dissection.;

    Sammanfattning : Thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms and dissections are two very serious disease processes which entail a high risk of vessel rupture and death. Their specific treatment strategies have several similarities which have formed a base for this thesis. LÄS MER
