11. Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia in children and adults: aspects on central and peripheral blocks
Sammanfattning : The universal use of regional anesthesia has previously been hampered by fundamental factors, e.g. excessive failure rates, inability to detected anatomical variations and fear for unintentional tissue damage; all due to the inherent imprecision of previous localization techniques.

12. Autism syndromes in three behavioural phenotype conditions. A clinical psychiatric study of 76 individuals with Möbius sequence, CHARGE syndrome, and oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum
Sammanfattning : AUTISM SYNDROMES IN THREE BEHAVIOURAL PHENOTYPE CONDITIONS A clinical psychiatric study of 76 individuals with Möbius sequence, CHARGE syndrome, and oculoauriculovertebral spectrum Maria Johansson Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Göteborg University, Sweden Abstract Objectives: (1) Examine the prevalence of autism syndromes in three different Behavioural Phenotype Conditions (BPCs), (2) examine background and associated factors/conditions, and (3) describe and evaluate diagnostic difficulties in this field of research. Method: As part of multidisciplinary surveys of Möbius sequence (Möbius) (n=25), CHARGE syndrome (CHARGE) (n=31) and oculoauriculovertebral spectrum (OAV) (n=20), the occurrence of autism symptoms was assessed utilizing the DSM-III-R and DSM-IV checklists for autistic disorder (AD), the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and the Autistic Behavior Checklist (ABC).

13. Clinical translation of a regeneration strategy for spinal cord injury
Sammanfattning : The complex and vulnerable tissue of the spinal cord does not heal after injury, leaving patients with lifelong disability after spinal cord injury (SCI). Many milestones have been reached during the last century through specialized centers for SCI, greatly increasing life expectancy and quality of life by battling common medical problems such as urinary tract infections, pressure ulcers, spasticity, neurogenic pain, and sexual function as well as providing means of rehabilitation to a meaningful and productive life after SCI.

14. Development of surgical techniques in craniofacial reconstruction
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Facial fractures are common and either the injury or the surgical treatment may cause sequelae including diplopia, visual loss, dystopia, enophthalmos, scarring, soft tissue affection and sensory disturbances. Severe facial fractures may also lead to bone defects due to resorption. LÄS MER
15. Environmental factors and risk of acoustic neuroma
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to increase the knowledge about environmental risk factors of acoustic neuroma and to increase the understanding of the methodological problems encountered when studying this tumor. Acoustic neuroma is a benign, usually slow growing, intracranial tumor of the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII), the nerve that transmits information about hearing and balance from the inner ear to the brain.
