  1. 21. Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease: Risk Factors and Outcome Predictors with special reference to the role of leukocytes and inflammatory mediators

    Författare :Ali Mohamed Elneihoum; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transient ischemic attack.; stroke; risk factors; recurrence; mortality; leukocyte; epidemiology; cytokines; Atherosclerosis; cerebral ischemia; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Ischemic cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is usually a consequence of atherosclerosis and is the commonest cause of stroke. The identification of risk factors and outcome predictors and the initiation of preventive measures constitute the cornerstone of efforts to reduce the risk of stroke and improve outcome. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Profilactin and the regulation of actin assembly and disassembly

    Författare :Håkan Larsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Actin filament assembly and disassembly are believed to be fundamental steps in the mechanism of cell motility in non-muscle cells. Profilactin is a complex between monomeric actin and a small protein, profilin, which inhibits the polymerization of the actin. LÄS MER

  4. 23. 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

  5. 24. Calcium channel activity and force regulation in smooth muscle: Effects of polyamines and growth stimulation

    Författare :Maria Gomez; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; verapamil; tissue culture; portal vein; patch-clamp; calcium; spermidine; spermine; polyamines; excitation-contraction; smooth muscle; calcium channel; ionomycin.; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The initial signal for contraction in smooth muscle is an increase in [Ca2+]i. Ca2+ ions can either enter the cytosol from the extracellular medium or be released from intracellular stores. Voltage-operated Ca2+ channels (VOC) play a dominant role in the activation of smooth muscle contraction. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Muscle mass and function after total hip arthroplasty

    Författare :Anton Rasch; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Osteoarthrosis; arthritis; joint disease; hip muscle strength; hip muscle function; outcome; elderly; attenuation; fatty infiltration; gait analysis; balance;

    Sammanfattning : Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip is a common disease among elderly causing pain, joint stiffness and reduced mobility. Outcome studies have shown total hip arthroplasy (THA) to be a successful surgical procedure. Studies of muscle strength and function after THA are more scarce and results vary. LÄS MER
