  1. 1. Late effects on hearing and balance after treatment for childhood cancer

    Författare :Einar-Jon Einarsson; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Childhood cancer; Chemotherapy; Late effects; Hearing; Word Recogniton; Postural Control; Oculomotor Control; Subjective horizontal and vertical; Visual dependence; Self-reported disability and handicap.;

    Sammanfattning : During the last several decades, improvements in diagnostic skills and in the treatment of children with cancer have substantially increased the number of long term survivors of childhood cancer. Treatment of children with cytostatic drugs is known to create a range of late adverse effects. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Whiplash is caused by an acceleration-/deceleration transfer of energy to the neck. It commonly occurs in motor vehicle accidents. The force may result in lesions of the cervical spine and soft tissues, which may result in many clinical manifestations: whiplash associated disorders (WAD), according to the Quebec classification.

  4. 3. New light on neurocognitive processes linked to autism and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder in childhood : studies of eye movements in twins

    Författare :Monica Siqueiros Sanchez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Visual attention and oculomotor response inhibition have been associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) respectively. The aim of this thesis was to increase our knowledge about these cognitive functions relevant to ASD and ADHD in early infancy and childhood using eye tracking and twin modelling. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The role of Lmx1a and Lmx1b in regulating mesencephalon development and dopamine neuron specification

    Författare :Qiaolin Deng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : One of the most challenging questions in developmental biology is how neurons are specified, acquire their distinct characteristics and find their correct innervations to form functional circuits. The development of different subsets of neurons involves the expression of a program intrinsic to each cell type and the response to extrinsic environmental influences represented by soluble factors.

  7. 5. Identification of pathways of degeneration and protection in motor neuron diseases

    Författare :Susanne Nichterwitz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Motor neuron diseases preferentially affect specific neuronal populations with distinct clinical features even if disease-causing genes are expressed in many cell types. In spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), somatic motor neurons are selectively vulnerable to a deficiency in the broadly expressed survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. LÄS MER
