1. 11. Human body composition. Reference data and anthropometric equations. The metabolic syndrome and risk

   Författare :Ingrid Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :adults; anthropometry; atherosclerotic morbidity; body composition; body fat; cardiovascular disease; DEXA; dual energy x-ray absorptiometry; fat-free mass; FFM; humans; metabolic syndrome; morbidity; mortality; prediction equations; randomly selected sample; reference data; sagittal trunk diameter; TBK; total body potassium; waist circumference;

   Sammanfattning : The determination of body composition is a key to the understanding of the relation between obesity and disease. In order to evaluate body composition data, reference values are needed. Since methods with high validity and reproducibility are expensive and often time consuming, simpler techniques based on anthropometry are needed. LÄS MER

3. 12. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Diabetes. Surgical outcome and nerve pathology

   Författare :Niels Thomsen; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intraepidermal nerve fibre; health-related quality of life; Carpal tunnel syndrome; diabetes mellitus; myelinated nerve fibre; nerve biopsy; nerve conduction study; skin biopsy.;

   Sammanfattning : Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy in the upper extremity. Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing CTS from an estimated prevalence of 2-4% in the general population to 15-30% in diabetics. LÄS MER

4. 13. The bone cement implantation syndrome - epidemiology, pathophysiology and prevention

   Författare :Mathias Hård af Segerstad; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bone cement implantation syndrome; femoral neck fracture; cemented hip hemiarthroplasty; pulmonary haemodynamic; right ventricle ejection fraction; pulmonary vascular resistance; hemiarthroplasty;

   Sammanfattning : Bone cementation implantation syndrome (BCIS) has significant morbidity and mortality for patients who are undergoing cemented hip hemiarthroplasty or arthroplasty. The aim of this thesis is to contribute with information of the epidemiological parameters of BCIS and identify risk factors. LÄS MER

5. 14. Irritable bowel syndrome. Pathophysiological and clinical aspects

   Författare :Magnus Simrén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Irritable bowel syndrome; manometry; colonic perception; visceral hypersensitivity; lipids; gastrointestinal peptides; food; quality of life; anxiety; depression; fatigue;

   Sammanfattning : Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by abdominal pain and/or discomfort related to abnormal bowel habits. Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disturbances, visceral hypersensitivity and psychological factors are involved in the pathophysiology of IBS. LÄS MER

7. 15. Molecular investigation of mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome) in man

   Författare :Stanislav L. Karsten; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; mucopolysaccharidosis type II; Hunter syndrome; MPSII; iduronate-2-sulfatase; mutational analysis; homologous nonhomologous recombination; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Medical Genetics; medicinsk genetik;

   Sammanfattning : Mucopolysaccharidosis type II or Hunter syndrome is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS). The disorder is inherited in an X-linked recessive fashion and has a broad spectrum of clinical phenotypes ranging from severe to mild. LÄS MER
