21. Studies of different clinical manifestations of Sarcoidosis and the role of genetic factors
Sammanfattning : Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown etiology characterized by the formation of non-necrotizing granulomas in the affected organs. Engagement of the lungs and/or thoracic lymph nodes (LN) are found in more than 90 % of all cases, but almost any organ such as the eyes, skin, heart and nervous system can be involved. LÄS MER
22. Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia and Emotion : Effects of pictorial stimuli and state anxiety
Sammanfattning : Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) refers to heart rate variations due to respiration, which results from parasympathetic nervous system activity mediated via the tenth cranial nerve, the vagus. Thus, the magnitude of RSA is considered as an index of cardiac vagal tone. This thesis explored RSA during emotional responding in healthy women and men. LÄS MER
23. Anatomical and physiological aspects of anorectal dysfunction
Sammanfattning : Objective: To analyse the results of anal-sphincter repair; to examine the feasibility of motor latency measurements of the anal sphincter after magnetic sacral stimulation in healthy subjects, patients with a spinal cord injury and patients with faecal incontinence, using a new recording technique; to study, in the same 3 groups, the effects ofphasic magnetic sacral root stimulation on the anal sphincter and rectum; to describe normal, undisturbed anatomy of the anal canal and perianal structures in both men and nulliparous women using high-resolution phased array magnetic resonance imaging; to study pelvic floor movements in healthy volunteers of both sexes using a new instrument.Methods: Latencies were recorded with an intraanal, bipolar sponge electrode and an intrarectal ground electrode.

24. Fate selection in the neural crest lineage and its regulation
Sammanfattning : The neural crest is a transient embryonic progenitor cell population that generates a diverse array of cell and tissue types, including cartilage, bone, teeth, soft connective and adipose tissues, peripheral sensory and autonomic neurons, myelinating and non-myelinating Schwann cells, melanocytes, cardiac outflow tract, adrenal medulla and other derivatives. Neural crest cells start as neuroepithelial cells forming at the border of neural and non-neural ectoderm in a vertebrate embryo. LÄS MER
25. Tick-borne encephalitis : clinical and pathogenetic aspects
Sammanfattning : The aims of this study were to investigate the morbidity associated with tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in the acute stage and at long-term follow-up, to identify the possible host risk factors for development of clinical TBE with special reference to the role of the genetic polymorphism, and to investigate neurochemical changes in the brain induced by TBE virus (TBEV) and their possible role on severity of TBE with special reference to endogenous kynurenic acid (KYNA). Paper I: Of 250 consecutively admitted patients with central nervous system (CNS) infections treated during a 1-year period, all 133 patients with TBE participated in the prospective follow-up study.
