  1. 1. Aspects of hand function in children with unilateral impairments : caused by obstetric brachial plexus or hemiplegic cerebral palsy

    Sammanfattning : Unilateral arm/hand dysfunction caused by obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) or hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) is most often afflicted on a child in the pre- or perinatal period of life. Despite different origin of the impairments, the outcomes for both groups implicate one well functioning and one dysfunctioning hand, and the consequences for every day task performance are similar.

    Sammanfattning : Objectives: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a symptomatic treatment for people with essential tremor (ET) who have unsatisfactory tremor relief with pharmacological treatment alone. A common symptom of ET is voice tremor, but only about 50% of patients with voice tremor get a satisfactory result with DBS. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging for investigating alterations in brain organization after injury during early development : with specific reference to the motor and visual system

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Disturbances or injuries to the brain during early development cause different types of structural abnormalities, depending mainly on the stage of maturation of the brain at the time of the insult. These are, herein, collectively referred to as early brain lesions. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus infections in the fetus and newborn infant, with regard to neurodevelopmental disabilities

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The congenital cytomegalovirus infection (CMV) is the most common congenital infection causing childhood morbidity. The majority (85%) of infected infants have no signs of infection in the newborn period, and when sequelae such as a hearing deficit or neurological impairment manifest themselves, the possibility of a CMV infection is easily overlooked.
