  1. 11. Predicting postoperative pain. Clinical and genetic studies of relationships between pain sensitivity and pain after surgery

    Författare :Anna KM Persson; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Nyckelord :Elektrisk smärttröskel; genetik och smärta; smärtprediktion; postoperativ smärta; VAS; smärtkänslighet; smärta efter kirurgi; nålsättning; Perifer kateterisering; Electrical pain threshold; prediction of postoperative pain; pain genetics; pain prediction; postoperative pain; venous cannulation; gender and pain; VCP;

    Sammanfattning : Many patients experience pain after surgery. Postoperative pain may lead to delayed mobilization, persisting pain, and psychosocial distress. Others are given excessive analgesic doses and experience side effects. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Local and systemic inflammatory mediators and their relation to pressure-pain threshold and pain of the temporomandibular joint

    Författare :Lars Fredriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The first aim of this investigation was to investigate the validity of TMJ pressure-pain threshold for assessment of pain conditions of inflammatory nature in the TMJ. Pressure-pain threshold was recorded from the palpable lateral pole of the TMJ condyle with a hand-held electronic pressure algometer (Somedic Production AB, Sollentuna, Sweden). LÄS MER

  4. 13. Coronary prevention in two European areas with different risk levels, Stockholm and Sicily : doctors' risk judgments and statin utilization

    Författare :Federico Vancheri; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: International guidelines on the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease recommend that preventive measures should be based on the doctors’ quantitative total risk assessment of the patient. Treatment is recommended when the patient’s risk is above a certain threshold. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Role of potassium channels in regulating neuronal activity

    Författare :Göran Klement; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Potassium channels; threshold dynamics; trafficking; hERG; SMOCs; excitability;

    Sammanfattning : The firing behaviour of excitable cells is fundamental for the information processing in multicellular organisms, varying from single spikes to different forms of repetitive firing. Of the many regulators, voltage gated potassium channels play a major role. In this thesis some aspects of the potassium channel regulation of firing are explored. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Significance of serotonin for pain, allodynia, and hyperalgesia in the human masseter muscle

    Författare :Malin Ernberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Anxiety; Double-Blind Method; 5-Hydroxytryptamine; Fibromyalgia; Hyperalgesia; Masseter muscle; Microdialysis; Pain threshold; Visual Analogue Pain Scale;

    Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the hypothesis that serotonin (5-HT) is involved in the pathophysiology of human chronic muscle pain. The thesis comprises a clinical and a human experimental part. LÄS MER
