  1. 1. Studies on the overactive bladder with special reference to diagnosis, classification and surgical treatment

    Författare :Christer Edlund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Unstable detrusor; overactive bladder; detrusor hyperreflexia; lidocaine; electric nerve stimulation; neuromodulation; sacral nerve stimulation; urodynamics.;

    Sammanfattning : The overactive bladder (OB) is a symptom of disturbed neuromuscular control of the lower urinary tract. The cause is sometimes obvious, but even a lesion that is minor and difficult to detect might be of significance. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Computational Models in Deep Brain Stimulation : Patient‐Specific Simulations, Tractography, and Group Analysis

    Författare :Teresa Nordin; Karin Wårdell; Simone Hemm-Ode; Johannes D. Johansson; Harith Akram; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anisotropy; Deep brain stimulation DBS ; Finite element method FEM ; Patient‐specific simulation; Probabilistic stimulation maps PSM ; Tractography;

    Sammanfattning : Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established method for symptom relief in movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor (ET), and dystonia. The therapy is based on implanting an electrode with four contacts in the deep brain structures where it provides electrical stimulation, mainly impacting the nerve tracts. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Voluntary activation of skeletal muscle in young and old women and men

    Författare :Michael Miller; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical medicine; pain measurement; electric stimulation; muscle; kinesitherapy; revalidation; rehabilitation; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ;

    Sammanfattning : The evaluation of skeletal muscle strength is an important part of the physiotherapist’s clinical examination in order to plan and execute appropriate interventions. This requires the objective assessment of muscle strength and the determination of the underlying factors of muscle weakness. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Materials and Devices for Stretchable Electronic Nerve Interfaces

    Författare :Samuel Lukas Lienemann; Klas Tybrandt; Magnus Berggren; Diego Ghezzi; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stretchable electronics; Nanowires; Peripheral nerve interfaces; Cuff electrodes;

    Sammanfattning : Within our body, there is a large network of nerves that facilitates communication between the brain and the body’s organs. This network is called our peripheral nervous system, consisting of soft and stretchable nerve bundles that gradually increase in their functional specificity as they split and branch out the closer they get to their target organ.

  7. 5. Effects of Inflammatory Mediators on Pulmonary Airways

    Författare :Ofir Bachar; Klinisk och experimentell allergiforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; electric ?eld stimulation; bradykinin; airway; tumor necrosis factor a; Respiratory system; nitric oxide; Andningsorganen; Toll-like receptor; prostaglandin E2; neurotrophin; allergy;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic inflammation is together with excessive contraction of the airways key features of asthma. The aims of the thesis were to analyze the effect of inflammatory mediators on airway smooth muscle, using an in vitro model of cultured murine airways. LÄS MER
