  1. 16. Vulvar vestibulitis syndrome : pathophysiology of the vestibular mucosa

    Författare :Nina Bohm-Starke; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Vulvar vestibulitis syndrome; immunohistochemistry; QST; COX 2; NOS; laser Doppler perfusion imaging; intraepithelial nerve fibres; pain thresholds; sensory stimulation.;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: The main purpose of the study was to survey possible pathophysiological changes of the vestibular mucosa in women with vulvar vestibulitis syndrome with regard to the clinical findings of superficial dyspareunia and mucosal erythema. Methods: Biopsies analysed with immunohistochemistry were used to study the morphology, distribution and neuropeptide content of the peripheral nerves, and the microvascularisation of the vestibular mucosa.

  3. 17. Factors modulating neonatal pain responssiveness

    Författare :Lena L Bergqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : To relieve pain in newborn infants, particularly preterm infants, is essential in modern neonatology. However, there are a number of innate difficulties related to pain assessment and pharmacological treatment, which includes in this thesis work. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : The use of implantable electrodes has been long thought as the solution for a more natural control of artificial limbs, as these offer access to long-term stable and physiologically appropriate sources of control, as well as the possibility to elicit appropriate sensory feedback via neurostimulation. Although these ideas have been explored since the 1960’s, the lack of a long-term stable human-machine interface has prevented the utilization of even the simplest implanted electrodes in clinically viable limb prostheses.

  5. 19. Atopic dermatitis and distress

    Författare :Saly Mustafa Abdelhadi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition characterized by itching, redness, and skin lesions, affecting approximately 10–20% of children and 1–3% of adults worldwide. Distress associated with AD can negatively impact quality of life, work, and daily activities. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Estrogen receptor expression in relation to pain modulation and transmission : experimental studies in rats

    Författare :Åsa Amandusson; Anders Blomqvist; Kaj Fried; Ola Hermanson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medical cell biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; MEDICINE;

    Sammanfattning : Estrogens have a remarkably wide range of actions in the mammalian brain. They not only play a pivotal role in reproductive behavior and sexual differentiation, but also contribute to e.g. thermoregulation, feeding, memory, neuronal survival and the perception of somatosensory stimuli.
