  1. 1. Environmental factors and risk of acoustic neuroma

    Författare :David Pettersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to increase the knowledge about environmental risk factors of acoustic neuroma and to increase the understanding of the methodological problems encountered when studying this tumor. Acoustic neuroma is a benign, usually slow growing, intracranial tumor of the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII), the nerve that transmits information about hearing and balance from the inner ear to the brain.

    Nyckelord :Acoustic neuroma; brain tumor; case-control study; epidemiology; intracranial tumor; mobile phone; radiofrequency radiation;

    Sammanfattning : Mobile phones are today an integral part of many people's lives in western societies. The phones emit radiofrequency radiation when being used. Concerns have been raised about possible effects that the exposure may have on the health of the mobile phone user. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Structure and function of trigeminal primary sensory neurons after peripheral nerve injury

    Författare :Ulf Bongenhielm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :ankyrinG; chronic constriction injury; electron microscopy; electrophysiology; hyperexcitability; immunocytochemistry; inferior alveolar nerve; in situ hybridisation; nerve injury; neuroma; SNS PN3; sodium channel; trigeminal ganglion;

    Sammanfattning : Iatrogenic injuries to branches of the trigeminal nerve are common during surgical procedures in the jaws and teeth, and as the repercussion of facial fractures or certain pathologies. A portion of these patients are left with disturbed sensory functions, and some with unpleasant abnormal sensations, including pain. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Variations in the regulation of pain genes after nerve injury : with focus on sodium channels

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic neuropathic pain is a burdensome clinical condition that causes major suffering for countless of individuals worldwide. It is characterized by a hyperreactive nervous system with hyperexcitable neurons that fire in the absence of stimuli or at mild stimuli, causing pain. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Rotation and development of the glenohumeral joint in brachial plexus birth palsy
