  1. 11. Brain injury biomechanics in closed-head impact : studies on injury epidemiology, tolerance criteria, biomechanics and traffic injury prevention

    Författare :David Viano; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Closed-head impact; brain injury; biomechanics; injury mechanisms; tolerance criteria; epidemiology; and primary prevention.;

    Sammanfattning : Permanent disability from traumatic brain injury is a devastating consequence of traffic crashes. Injury prevention is a fruitful approach to reduce the incidence and severity of disabling brain injury. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Definition of axonal injury tolerances across scales : A computational multiscale approach

    Författare :Annaclaudia Montanino; Svein Kleiven; Alessandra Villa; Xiaogai Li; Kacy Cullen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traumatic Brain Injury; Axonal Injury; Mechanoporation; Multiscale;

    Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is today regarded as a global health challenge. Revealing how external mechanical loads translate into tissue and cellular damage is necessary, not only for the development of better preventive measures, but also for the definition of treatments that could spare the patients from suffering TBI's devastating consequences.

  4. 13. Assessment and management of patients at risk for persisting disability after mild traumatic brain injury

    Författare :Giedrė Matusevičienė; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : There is a lack of evidence-based interventions for patients with persisting problems after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The interventions needed should focus on patients at particular risk for persisting disability after mTBI and target modifiable factors. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Sickness absence and disability pension among individuals injured in a bicycle crash

    Författare :Linnea Kjeldgård; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Bicyclists are the road user group with the highest number of severe injuries, yet little is known about the impact of such injuries on sickness absence (SA) and disability pension (DP). Therefore, the aim was to increase the knowledge on factors associated with SA and DP among individuals of working ages, injured in a bicycle crash. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Assessment of cattle and pig welfare at stunning in commercial abattoirs

    Författare :Sophie Atkinson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed to develop and implement a standardised assessment for stun quality for use in commercial pig and cattle abattoirs to protect animal welfare. A stun quality protocol identified and rated symptoms signifying recovery risk and level of concern for inferior animal welfare. LÄS MER
