  1. 6. Assessment of masticatory function and nutrition in people with dental implants

    Författare :George Homsi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Treatment with bimaxillary implant-supported fixed prostheses is the state-of-the-art treatment of complete edentulism and replacement of natural teeth. However, the extraction of teeth results in the loss of periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMRs), normally located in the periodontal ligament. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Craniofacial morphology and growth in the ferret: effects from alteration of masticatory function

    Författare :Tailun He; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : INTRODUCTION: Our hypothesis is that any effects on craniofacial growth and morphology induced by altering the masticatory function will vary according to the species involved. The general aim of this thesis was to test the possible effects of altering the masticatory function on craniofacial growth and morphology, as well as features of masticatory muscles in ferrets.

  4. 8. Oral health and olfactory function : what can they tell us about cognitive ageing?

    Författare :Christina Silvia Dintica; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis was to advance our understanding of whether oral health and olfactory function may predict accelerated cognitive ageing. Data from two Swedish study populations and one from the United States were applied to investigate the relationship of oral health and olfactory function with cognitive decline and brain ageing in late life.

  5. 9. Methodological studies of orofacial aesthetics, orofacial function and oral health-related quality of life

    Författare :Pernilla Larsson; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Det finns idag ett ökat medvetande om hur hälsa, ohälsa och vård påverkar livskvaliteten. Utveckling av olika hälsomått och livskvalitetsinstrument är ett växande forskningsområde där det är individens upplevelse i samband med ett visst tillstånd man undersöker. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Intensive Care Unit Muscle Wasting : Skeletal Muscle Phenotype and Underlying Molecular Mechanisms

    Författare :Sudhakar Reddy Aare; Larsson Lars; Rooyackers Olav; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acute quadriplegic myopathy; gene expression; myosin; heat shock proteins; mechanical ventilation; myostatin; sepsis; corticosteroids; diaphragm; Clinical Neurophysiology; Klinisk neurofysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Acute quadriplegic myopathy (AQM), or critical illness myopathy, is a common debilitating acquired disorder in critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients characterized by generalized muscle wasting and weakness of limb and trunk muscles. A preferential loss of the thick filament protein myosin is considered pathognomonic of this disorder, but the myosin loss is observed relatively late during the disease progression. LÄS MER
