  1. 1. Vibration exposure of the glabrous skin of the human hand

    Författare :Ronnie Lundström; Ludwik Liszka; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vibration; hand; skin; mechanical impedance; mechanoreceptors; tactile perception; high-frequency;

    Sammanfattning : An occupational exposure to hand-arm vibration can cause a complex of neurological, vascular and musculo-skeletal disturbances, known as the 'vibration syndrome'. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are not at all clear. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Functional aspects of tactile directional sensibility

    Författare :Helena Backlund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Human; directional sensibility; hairy skin; hemispherectomy; postural control; glabrous skin; fMRI; psychophysics;

    Sammanfattning : Tactile directional sensibility, i.e. the ability to tell the movement direction of a moving tactile stimulus, depends on the parallel processing of spatiotemporal information and information about changes in the pattern of skin tension. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Measuring the tactile sense: Cortical mechanisms and clinical applications of tactile direction discrimination

    Författare :Linda Lundblad; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :AIC; diabetic neuropathy; DLPFC; fMRI; hairy skin; psychophysics; QST testing; somatosensory cortex; tactile direction discrimination;

    Sammanfattning : Most of the studies aiming to investigate the human tactile sense are done on the glabrous skin. Still, there is a need for a quantitative method for evaluating nervous function of the hairy skin. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Diabetes. Surgical outcome and nerve pathology

    Författare :Niels Thomsen; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intraepidermal nerve fibre; health-related quality of life; Carpal tunnel syndrome; diabetes mellitus; myelinated nerve fibre; nerve biopsy; nerve conduction study; skin biopsy.;

    Sammanfattning : Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy in the upper extremity. Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing CTS from an estimated prevalence of 2-4% in the general population to 15-30% in diabetics. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Malignant melanoma of the vulva

    Författare :Boel Ragnarsson Olding; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Malignant melanoma; Vulvar melanoma; mucosal melanoma; epidemiology; amelanotic melanoma; pre-existing nevus; N-Ras mutation; TP53 mutation;

    Sammanfattning : From a consecutive, nationwide series of 219 females with primary vulvar malignant melanomas diagnosed in Sweden during 1960 to 1984 and followed up until 1994, we analyzed epidemiological, clinical, histopathological, prognostic and molecular genetic data. The age-standardized incidence among these patients, 75 % of whom were 60 years old or more, decreased by 3. LÄS MER
