1. 11. Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Acute Quadriplegic Myopathy : Studies in Experimental Animal Models and Intensive Care Unit Patients

   Författare :Holly Norman; Lars Larsson; Thomas Sejersen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Neurosciences; Acute Quadriplegic Myopathy; intensive care unit; atrophy; myosin heavy chain; actin; myosin binding proteins; nuclear transcription factors; mRNA; Neurovetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : The combination of a severe systemic illness, corticosteroids, and neuromuscular blocking agents in patients on the mechanical ventilator often results in a condition known as Acute Quadriplegic Myopathy (AQM). While severe weakness of all spinal nerve innervated muscles is known to be a significant clinical characteristic of the disease, this symptom is typically not recognized until the disease has progressed to an advanced stage.

3. 12. Myosin myopathy. A new disease entity

   Författare :Homa Tajsharghi; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Neuromuscular disorders; Myosin myopathy; Myosin heavy chain; Myosin storage myopathy;

   Sammanfattning : By the discovery and characterization of two familial myopathies caused by mutations in myosin heavy chaingenes, we introduce a new entity within the field of neuromuscular disorders: Myosin myopathyThe first myopathy affected a family in western Sweden. Previous linkage analysis had located the gene tochromosome 17p13. LÄS MER

4. 13. Celluar and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Contraction in Health and Disease

   Författare :Mingxin Li; Lars Larsson; Tomas Winkler; Alf Månsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Scaling; myosin heavy chain; in vitro motility assay; myopathy; Clinical neurophysiology; Klinisk neurofysiologi; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Morphological changes, genetic modifications, and cell functional alterations are not always parallel. Therefore, assessment of skeletal muscle function is an integral part of the etiological approach. LÄS MER

5. 14. Tendon transfer mechanics and donor muscle properties : implications in surgical correction of upper limb muscle imbalance

   Författare :Eva Pontén; Bertil Romanus; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :laser diffraction; sarcomere length; tendon transfer; spasticity; muscle morphology; myosin heavy chain; capillary; rabbit; human; cerebral palsy; stroke; handkirurgi; hand surgery;

   Sammanfattning : Tendon transfer surgery is used to improve the hand function of patients with nerve injuries, spinal cord lesions, cerebral palsy (CP), stroke, or muscle injuries. The tendon of a muscle, usually with function opposite that of the lost muscle function, is transferred to the tendon of the deficient muscle. LÄS MER

7. 15. The effects of long chain alcohol blends on engine performance and spray characteristics in CI engines

   Författare :Josefine Preuss; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; spray characteristics; RME; drop-in bränslen; long chain alcohols; CI engine; HVO;

   Sammanfattning : Replacing fossil fuels with alternatives derived from renewable sources is one way of meeting society’s increasing need for mobility while also significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles with internal combustion engines. To facilitate such a replacement, this thesis presents optical spray studies and engine experiments conducted to evaluate the potential of blends of biomass-derived alcohols and vegetable oils to serve as drop-in fuels for compression ignition engines.
