  1. 1. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Diabetes. Surgical outcome and nerve pathology

    Författare :Niels Thomsen; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intraepidermal nerve fibre; health-related quality of life; Carpal tunnel syndrome; diabetes mellitus; myelinated nerve fibre; nerve biopsy; nerve conduction study; skin biopsy.;

    Sammanfattning : Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy in the upper extremity. Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing CTS from an estimated prevalence of 2-4% in the general population to 15-30% in diabetics. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Peripheral polyneuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance. Correlations between morphology, neurophysiology, and clinical findings

    Författare :Soley Thrainsdottir; Sektion IV; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nerve conduction studies; skin biopsy; intraepidermal nerve fibers; Diabetic neuropathy; sural nerve pathology; body mass index; quantitative sensory testing; vibrotactile sense;

    Sammanfattning : Diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy (PN) is a common and serious complication of diabetes. The prevalence of PN is rising with the global burden of type 2 diabetes. The causal mechanisms of PN are not fully understood, but both vascular and metabolic factors play a role. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Biophysical aspects of the skin barrier : towards increased non-invasive extraction and optimized biomarker sampling

    Författare :Maxim Morin; Johan Engblom; Sebastian Björklund; Nicole K Brogden; Malmö universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The skin provides a link to the body’s health via its rich variety of high and low molecular weight biomarkers, reflecting both systemic diseases (e.g., cancer, diabetes) and local skin disorders (e.g. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Diagnostic aspects of skin cancer and lichen sclerosus studied with laser scanning microscopy

    Författare :Despoina Kantere; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; skin cancer; lichen sclerosus; reflactance confocal microscopy; multiphoton microscopy;

    Sammanfattning : Histopathologic examination of tissue biopsies is the current gold standard for the diagnosis of dermatological problems. Similarly, in oncology, sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is the state-of-the-art diagnostic method for me- tastasis screening. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Skin sensitivity testing : a biophysical approach

    Författare :Miruna Nyren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The skin is regarded as the largest organ of the body, although it is only a few millimetres thick; it is also the interface between the environment and the body's vital structures. Its large surface area is constantly exposed to physical factors, allergens, irritants and infectious agents. LÄS MER
