1. Functional aspects of tactile directional sensibility
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
2. Measuring the tactile sense: Cortical mechanisms and clinical applications of 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
3. Physiological properties of unmyelinated low-threshold tactile (CT) afferents in the human hairy skin
Sammanfattning : For more than a decade it has been known that human skin is supplied with a system of slowly conducting unmyelinated afferents that respond strongly to innocuous skin deformation (Nordin, 1990; Vallbo et al., 1993). LÄS MER
4. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Diabetes. Surgical outcome and nerve pathology
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
5. Malignant melanoma of the vulva
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
