1. 1. Effects of repetitive work on proprioception and of stretching on sensory mechanisms : implications for work-related neuromuscular disorders

   Författare :Martin Björklund; Håkan Johansson; Albert Crenshaw; Ronny Lorentzon; Måns Magnusson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Repetitive motions; Muscle fatigue; Proprioception; Muscle stretching; Work-related musculoskeletal disorders; Nociception; Ergonomics; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; medicin; Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : The aims of the thesis were (i) to investigate the impact of repetitive low-intensity work exposure on proprioception and (ii) to examine effects of muscle stretching (especially sensory effects and effects on muscle nociception) and to relate its application to the prevention, alleviation and/or treatment of work-related neuromuscular disorders. The effects of low-intensity repetitive work on the shoulder proprioception were tested in healthy subjects. LÄS MER

3. 2. Towards Better Understanding of Etiological Mechanisms at the Neuromuscular Junction

   Författare :Evgenii Bogatikov; Anna Rostedt Punga; Klas Kullander; Viktorija Kenina; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuromuscular junction; Muscle cells; Microelectrode array; MicroRNA; Clinical Neurophysiology; Klinisk neurofysiologi; Biomedical Laboratory Science; Biomedicinsk laboratorievetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) serves as a model for understanding the mechanisms that determine communication between neurons and their target cells. Disorders of the NMJ can be either autoimmune or genetic (hereditary). LÄS MER

5. 4. Morphologican and functional studies on the Drosophila neuromuscular system during postembryonic stages

   Författare :Ana Beramendi; Rafael Cantera; Prof. Carlos Dotti; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Drosophila; neuromuscular system; Rel-proteins; fly brain; rhythmic morphology; aging; ; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi;

   Sammanfattning : The nervous system of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has emerged as an excellent model for fundamental neuroscience as well as for biomedical research of human neurological diseases. In this thesis, two aspects of the neuromuscular system have been investigated: the role of the IkB-protein Cactus in the larval neuromuscular junction and the morphology of motor terminals throughout adult life.

7. 5. Radiological studies of LMNB1-related autosomal dominant leukodystrophy and Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome

   Författare :Johannes Finnsson; Raili Raininko; Eva Kumlien; Isabella Björkman-Burtscher; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Leukoencephalopathies; hereditary central nervous system demyelinating diseases; autonomic dysfunction; adult-onset; neuromuscular disease; pediatric; neuro-ophtalmology; ataxia;

   Sammanfattning : There are approximately 6000 to 8000 rare diseases, each with a prevalence of less than 1 / 10 000, but in aggregate affecting 6 to 8% of the population. It is important to evaluate disease development and progression to know the natural course of any disease. LÄS MER
