  1. 1. Progressive stroke : clinical course and outcome

    Författare :Åsa Rödén-Jüllig; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Acute stroke; Carotid artery disease; Heparin; Progressive stroke; Outcome; Stroke assessment;

    Sammanfattning : The knowledge about progression of symptoms in acute stroke patients was scanty when this thesis was planned. The aim was therefore to study if the rate and type of progression, had any impact on patient outcome, predictors for progression and effectiveness of heparin treatment. LÄS MER

  3. 2. STRENGTH TRAINING AFTER STROKE: EFFECTS ON MUSCLE FUNCTION, GAIT PERFORMANCE AND PERCEIVED PARTICIPATION

    Författare :Ulla-Britt Flansbjer; Geriatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Reproducibility; Neurology; Rehabilitation; sceletal; Muscle; Cerebrovascular Accident; Gait; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the effects of strength training on muscle function, gait performance and perceived participation in subjects with chronic mild to moderate post-stroke hemiparesis. A main impairment after stroke is reduced muscle strength. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Physical Functioning, Body Composition and Exercise in Elderly Community-living Individuals with Stroke

    Författare :Birgit Vahlberg; Karin Hellström; Tommy Cederholm; Lena Zetterberg; Erik Rosendahl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Geriatrics; Geriatrik; Neurology; Neurologi; Nutrition; Nutrition;

    Sammanfattning : A comprehensive view of physical function, body composition and exercise post-stroke that is based on clinical examination is lacking. The effects of a progressive resistance and balance (PRB) exercise program have not been fully evaluated in community-living individuals after stroke. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Cardiovascular function after long-term bed rest

    Författare :Jonas Spaak; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Microgravity; simulated weightlessness; carotid baroreflex; static exercise; muscle chemoreflex; orthostasis; tilting; leg exercise; blood pressure; heart rate; stroke volume;

    Sammanfattning : On earth, daily activities involve standing, changes of posture and various types of muscle action, all of which challenge the cardiovascular regulation. Removal of the orthostatic stress for a longer period, as during spaceflight or head-down tilt bed rest, consistently results in cardiovascular deconditioning. LÄS MER

  7. 5. A study of potassium channel activation as a pharmacological principle for vasodilation of cerebral blood vessels

    Författare :Torsten Ryman; Avdelningen för klinisk kemi och farmakologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacological sciences; cerebral arteries; Cerebral ischemia; Potassium channel openers; vascular endothelium; EDHF; KRN2391; KATP; Pinacidil; pharmacognosy; pharmacy; toxicology; Farmakologi; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : Increasing [K+]o is intimately coupled to progressive ischemia and reduced CBF. In isolated cerebral and mesenteric arteries, it was found that significant differences in the vascular responses to [K+]o exist. Among the species studied, human cerebral arteries were the most sensitive artery to increasing [K+]o. LÄS MER
