1. 36. Social differences in injury risk in childhood and youth : exploring the roles of structural and triggering factors

   Författare :Karin Engström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Socioeconomic differences; health inequality; equalisation; peer victimisation; injury; children; youth; case-crossover design.;

   Sammanfattning : Injuries are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity among children and adolescents. Injury risks are not randomly distributed across social groups. The primary aim of this thesis is to increase knowledge about the determinants of the social distribution of injuries among children and adolescents. LÄS MER

3. 37. Housing accessibility and participation among older adults with long-standing spinal cord injury

   Författare :Lizette Norin; Aktivt och hälsosamt åldrande; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Spinal Cord Injuries; housing accesibility problems;

   Sammanfattning : En stödjande miljö är centralt för att kunna upprätthålla ett självständigt liv och effektivt aktivitetsutförande, särskilt med ökande ålder. För personer med funktionella begränsningar, som konsekvenserna av en ryggmärgsskada, är balansen mellan personens funktionella kapacitet och miljöns krav av yttersta vikt för att kunna leva ett så välfungerande liv som möjligt.

4. 38. Nitric oxide in experimental sepsis

   Författare :Peter Dahm; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intensive care; Nitric oxide; Sepsis; NO inhalation; Endotoxin; Acute lung injury; ARDS; Nitric oxide synthase; L-NMMA; L-NAME; Anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology; Pigs; intensivvård;

   Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) is important in the control of blood pressure and organ perfusion. In septic shock, NO produced by inducible NO-synthase (NOS) has been claimed to mediate pathological vasodilation and cell injury, while NO produced by constitutive NOS may be protective in counteracting hypoperfusion and organ injury.

5. 39. Falls in ambulatory individuals with spinal cord injury : incidence, risk factors and perceptions of falls

   Författare :Vivien Jørgensen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Falls in ambulatory individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) are common and may have adverse consequences. Little and inconclusive research has been done in this population, and there is a need for more knowledge in order to develop prevention strategies appropriate for this population. LÄS MER

7. 40. High-Density Electromyography-Based Methods for Joint Torque Prediction and Motor Unit Behavior Observation

   Författare :Asta Kizyte; Ruoli Wang; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Christian Antfolk; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ankle; isometric contractions; machine learning; neuromuscular control; spinal cord injury; Fotled; isometriska kontraktioner; maskininlärning; neuromuskulär kontroll; ryggmärgsskada; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

   Sammanfattning : Electromyography (EMG) is a technique that measures the electrical activity of muscles. It reflects muscle activation and provides an interface to the central nervous system at the level of the muscle or individual motor units, which helps us understand the mechanisms of muscle force production, control, and coordination.
