21. Aspects on local recurrence of rectal cancer
Sammanfattning : Rectal cancer is a common malignant disease in Sweden which is diagnosed in about 1,800 patients annually. Local failure, defined as residual or recurrent disease within the pelvis, is of major concern in rectal cancer treatment. LÄS MER
22. Spasticity : an elusive problem after spinal cord injury
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to characterize spasticity in individuals and in a near total prevalence population with traumatic spinal cord (SCI) injury by assessment of: Article I) Relation between Self-reporting of symptoms, neurologic examination (ASIA), physical therapy examination, ROM and complications; Article II) Repeated self-rating (VAS), and the relation between movement- provoked MAS rating and self-rating after a repetitive passive movement intervention; Article III) Correlation between movement-provoked MAS rating during simultaneous recording of EMG thigh muscle activity; Article IV) Correlation between Isokinetic movement-provoked resistive torque measurements during recording of EMG thigh muscle activity; and Article V) FES induced changes in body composition evaluated by CT and in spasticity by using the methods from articles II-IV. Article I comprised the near-total prevalence population (n=354) of individuals with traumatic SCI in Stockholm. LÄS MER
23. Folding and interaction studies of subunits in protein complexes
Sammanfattning : Proteins function as worker molecules in the cell and their natural environment is crowded. How they fold in a cell-like environment and how they recognize their interacting partners in such conditions, are questions that underlie the work of this thesis. LÄS MER
24. The temporomandibular joint : Tomopraphic and CT assesment of its bone demarcations with reference to adjacent organs
Sammanfattning : The wall of the temporal bone separating the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) from surroundings organs, can be very thin and also have development defects. Distortion effects in the radiographic reproduction of these bone walls can result in misinterpretations when exanimating suspected pathologic changes in the region. LÄS MER
25. Aspects of circulatory failure in respiratory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Sammanfattning : Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) was developed in the seventies for the intended use of supporting respiratory failure. Today ECMO has become a well-established treatment for patients with both respiratory and circulatory failure where conventional intensive care is inadequate. LÄS MER
