  1. 16. Visual influences on vestibular compensation and postural control

    Författare :Anna Hafström; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Otorhinolaryngology; audiology; auditive system and speech; Otorinolaryngologi; Medicin människa och djur ; Vestibular schwannoma; Alcohol intoxication.; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Vestibular deafferentation; Visual-vestibular interactions; Subjective visual horizontal and vertical; Visual dependence; Utriculus; Balance; Vision; audiologi; hörsel- och talorganen;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed to investigate visual-vestibular interactions in healthy subjects and in patients with a well defined unilateral vestibular lesion (vestibular schwannoma before and six months after translabyrinthine surgery). Visual information is particularly important for balance control during perturbed stance. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Environmental Factors of Importance in Myasthenia Gravis : Emphasis on Physical Activity

    Författare :Elisabet Westerberg; Anna Rostedt Punga; Anne-Marie Landtblom; Chantal Tallaksen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Myasthenia Gravis; MG subgroups; Environmental factors; Lifestyle; Physical activity; Exercise; Clinical Neurophysiology; Klinisk neurofysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease caused by antibodies directed against proteins at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). The disturbed neuromuscular transmission induces fatigable weakness in skeletal muscles. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Studies of genetic mosaicism in rare diseases

    Författare :Sofia Frisk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Mosaicism in human genetics refers to an individual harboring two or more genetic compositions, all derived from the same fertilized egg. Common signs of genetic mosaicism are asymmetric growth, skin aberrations or vascular malformations. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Functional analysis of ATM with relevance for primary immunodeficiency and tumor formation

    Författare :Aleksi Lähdesmäki; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Ataxia-telangiectasia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by cerebellar degeneration with ataxia, ocular and cutaneous telangiectasias, radiosensitivity, chromosomal instability, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition in both patients and heterozygous carriers of the gene. The gene responsible for the disorder, ATM, has been identified as a member of a family of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinaserelated genes and is one of the master controllers of the networks that are involved in cell cycle control and response to DNA damage.

  7. 20. Image Analysis Techniques for Segmentation, Classification and Presentation of High-Resolution Prometaphase Chromosome

    Författare :Stefan Nivall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aberration; segmentation; digital image analysis; high-resolution CCD camera; classification; prometaphase; chromosome; database;

    Sammanfattning : The extraction, analysis, and presentation of integrated optical density (IOD) profiles from banded prometaphase chromosome material is an increasingly important clinical method for the detection and analysis of structural aberrations. Particular translocations, duplications, or deletions of genetic material have been shown to be implicated in specific mental or physical disorders. LÄS MER
