  1. 1. Diabetic neuropathy clinical and experimental studies

    Författare :Per Lindström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :diabetes mellitus; neuropathy; ischaemia; sensibility; thermal sensibility; quantitative sensory testing; mammalian nerve; ouabain; osteopenia; neurophysiology; peripheral nerve; anoxia.;

    Sammanfattning : A classification of impaired thermal sensibility is proposed, reflecting the severity of diabetic polyneuropathy in terms of its regional extension. The classification may be a useful tool in cross-sectional and long-term studies of patients with diabetes mellitus. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Pedicled and free TRAM flaps in breast reconstructions : a comparative study

    Författare :Åsa Edsander-Nord; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :breast reconstruction; TRAM; pedicled flap; free flap; microdialysis; monitoring; flap circulation; flap metabolism; glucose; lactate; glycerol; abdominal muscles; trunk muscle strength; KIN-COM; quantitative sensory testing; tactile perception threshold; thermal perception threshold; breast volume; thermoplastic; quality of life; SF-36; esthetic evaluation; applanation tonometry;

    Sammanfattning : The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap is frequently used when autologous tissue is desired for breast reconstruction, and it can be transferred pedicled or free. The pedicled TRAM flap is elevated as a lower transverse abdominal flap with the rectus abdominis muscle attached in the epigastric area, by which means the deep superior epigastric vessels nourish the flap.

  4. 3. Neuropathic Pain; Quality of Life, Sensory Assessments and Pharmacological Treatments

    Författare :Ann Kvarnström; Torsten Gordh; Rolf Karlsten; Per Hansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anaesthesiology and intensive care; neuropathic pain; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthetics and intensive care; Anestesiologi och intensivvård;

    Sammanfattning : Neuropathic pain of central and peripheral origin presents a substantial clinical problem as it is often resistant to pharmacological treatment.The health related quality of life of 126 patients with peripheral neuropathic pain was studied, to provide a cross sectional description from this point of view.

  5. 4. Stresses in high performance concrete due to temperature and moisture variations at early ages

    Författare :Hans Hedlund; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents results from laboratory tests and numerical analyses of stress states in concrete structures arising from volume changes due to temperature and shrinkage during hydration. The laboratory tests presented here deal with: the determination of heat transfer coefficients for cooling pipes measurements of self-desiccation and shrinkage under sealed conditions deformation measurements under temperature and moisture changes and measurements of stress development during hardening for a fully restrained structural member.

  7. 5. Idiopathic scoliosis : radiographic, neurophysiologic and psychologic aspects

    Författare :Yngvi Ólafsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :idiopathic scoliosis; brace treatment; back surface analysis; self-image; somatosensory testing;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to study brace treatment outcome, the brace effect on electromyographic muscle responses and self image, possible occurrence of somatosensory dysfunction and the descriptive power of surface topography contra radiography, in idiopathic scoliosis. There were 64 patients in a retrospective 4. LÄS MER
