    Sammanfattning : Excessive sweating may cause considerable disability, with psychological, social and occupational consequences. Primary hyperhidrosis may also play a key role in the pathogenesis of dyshidrotic dermatitis and some other skin diseases. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Lateral epicondylitis : intramuscular blood flow, pressure and metabolism in the ECRB muscle

    Författare :Eva Oskarsson; Karin Piehl Aulin; Eva Nylander; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Lateral epicondylitis; ECRB; intramuscular microcirculation; intramuscular pressure; botulinum toxin; muscle metabolism; pain; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Idrottsvetenskap; Sports Science;

    Sammanfattning : Lateral epicondylitis is classified as an overuse injury and the main symptom is pain from the lateral side of the elbow. There is general agreement that the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) muscle and its proximal tendon play a central role in the development of lateral epicondylitis. However, the pathophysiology is to a large extent unclear. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Upper limb assessment and treatment in cerebral palsy

    Författare :Izabela Blaszczyk; Mikael Wiberg; Louise Rönnqvist; Ann van Heest; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cerebral palsy; upper limb; botulinum toxin type A; upper limb surgery; side effects; thumb assessment; handkirurgi; hand surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Cerebral palsy (CP) is a heterogeneous group of neurological disorders caused by fetal or infant brain damage that often involves deficits in upper limb (UL) posture and function. Knowledge about effective methods of assessment and treatment of UL in CP is not extensive. In this thesis, different aspects of these two are explored. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Idiopathic toe-walking in children : prevalence, neuropsychiatric symptoms and the effect of botulinum toxin A treatment

    Författare :Pähr Engström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic toe-walking (ITW) is a term used to describe a state in which a child, in the absence of a known cause, walks on his or her toes, as compared to the normal heel-toe gait. The diagnosis is thus used when other defined causes are excluded. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Real-time PCR for diagnosis of botulism and quantification of neurotoxin gene expression in Clostridium botulinum

    Författare :Ingrid Artin; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; detection; qRT-PCR; Clostridium botulinum; molecular methods;

    Sammanfattning : The objectives of the work presented in this thesis have been to develop molecular methods for (i) detection of Clostridium botulinum in food and clinical samples, and (ii) monitoring the expression of the neurotoxin gene, cnt, during different growth phases and under different growth conditions. For the diagnosis of botulism, a real-time PCR-based method including an internal amplification control for C. LÄS MER
