Spinal mobility, muscle strength and function in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Different aspects on long term outcome
(2019-11-19)
Introduction: The long-term physical function outcome in patients treated for idiopathic scoliosis (IS) during childhood and adolescence has not been fully explored. In addition, there is a lack of studies where different ...
Taurine and dopamine-related effects of ethanol. An experimental study in rodents
(2019-11-18)
The reinforcing properties of alcohol (ethanol) are associated with activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system and the concomitant increase in dopamine in the nucleus accumbens (nAc). Changes in this system are thought ...
On detection, treatment and prevention of complications in paediatric cataract surgery
(2019-11-06)
Purpose: To find and validate methods for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of complications in paediatric cataract surgery.
Background: Cataract and glaucoma are major treatable blinding conditions in children. Surgery ...
In vivo responses of neural progenitor cells to extracellular matrix signaling under pathological conditions
(2019-05-23)
The adult brain has an inherently low capacity for tissue regeneration, and neurons lost to disease or injuries are normally not replaced. This becomes especially apparent when stroke or brain trauma occurs. The discovery ...
On the Effects of Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors in Major Depression
(2019-01-25)
This thesis focuses on the antidepressant effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and how these are reflected by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). To this end, we have assembled a large data ...
Wearable sensors for monitoring epilepsy and Parkinson´s disease
(2019-04-11)
Introduction: Epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are conditions where management would benefit greatly from monitoring symptoms over longer time periods in natural everyday environments instead of only intermittent ...
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and anxiety symptoms in older adults
(2019-09-11)
Anxiety is a broad concept, difficult to detect and recognize. Expression may shift over the lifetime further complicating identification. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is one of the most common anxiety disorders in ...
Exercise in older adults with rheumatoid arthritis - a person-centred approach
(2019-11-20)
Physical activity and exercise are well known to enhance health and are recommended as part of the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the level of physical activity among older adults with RA is found to be ...
Investigations of human cortical processing of gentle touch. A study with time-resolved electro-magnetic signal analysis
(2019-04-12)
The present work summarizes investigations of the temporal correlates of brain activity elicited by gentle, moving touch on the hairy skin in healthy participants and in epilepsy patients. Light touch to the hairy skin ...
On Neuroimmunology and Brain Function: Experimental and Clinical Studies
(2019-05-23)
The immune system has been implicated in the mechanisms underlying many psychiatric disorders. Immune mediators are expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) not only in response to harmful stimuli, but also in a ...
