1. 6. Medication in temporomandibular disorders and bruxism

   Författare :Birgitta Johansson Cahlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; temporomandibular disorders; sleep bruxism; glucosamine sulfate; pramipexole; dopamine agonist; botulinum toxin; cerebral palsy;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to explore aspects of pharmaceutical intervention in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and bruxism. Sleep bruxism is a movement disorder that signals disturbed sleep and constitutes a significant health problem due to TMDs, headache and tooth wear. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Background: Despite advances in the management of facial paralysis and its associated sequelae, therapies targeting the lower facial region remain underdeveloped. This thesis aimed to improve both the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for facial paralysis, with a focus on the lower face. LÄS MER

4. 8. Structural and functional studies of a novel Botulinum neurotoxin and of MTH1

   Författare :Linda Henriksson; Pål Stenmark; Maria Selmer; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Botulinum neurotoxin; botulism; cancer; gene cluster; molecular structures; MTH1; NTNH; oxidised nucleotides; progenitor complex; protein expression; protein purification; X-ray crystallography; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Sammanfattning : X-ray crystallography visualizes the three dimensional molecular structures of proteins at atomic resolution. Seeing the molecular structure of a biomedically interesting protein enables a higher understanding of its function. LÄS MER

5. 9. 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

7. 10. Children with spastic cerebral palsy : aspects of muscle activity and botulinum toxin a treatment

   Författare :Kristina Tedroff; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Cerebral Palsy; children; spasticity; voluntary activity; co-activity; synergistic muscle activity; botulinum toxin A; long-term; contracture; gait development;

   Sammanfattning : Backgound: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a heterogeneous disorder in which movement and posture are always affected. Spasticity is one of the most common symptoms. A spastic muscle prevents normal motor behaviour and is believed to cause secondary contractures. LÄS MER
