  2. 1. Botulinum Toxin : Formulation, Concentration and Treatment

    Author : Alma Rystedt; Dag Nyholm; Carl Swartling; Klas Nordlind; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Botulinum toxin; Botox; Dysport; Xeomin; NeuroBloc; Hyperhidrosis; Cervical dystonia; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Abstract : Botulinum toxin (BTX) is used in various fields of medicine, including the treatment of hyperhidrosis and cervical dystonia. Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin® and NeuroBloc® are commercially available BTX products, which are formulated differently and their dosing units are unique. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tendon Healing : Mechanical Loading, Microdamage and Gene Expression

    Author : Malin Hammerman; Per Aspenberg; Pernilla Eliasson; Ludvig Backman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Mechanical loading and the inflammatory response during tendon healing might be important for the healing process. Mechanical loading can improve the healing tendon but the mechanism is not fully understood. READ MORE

  5. 3. Synchrotron-based characterization of mechanobiological effects on the nanoscale in musculoskeletal tissues

    Author : Isabella Silva Barreto; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nanoscale; microscale; mechanical properties; synchrotron; x-ray imaging; collagen; hydroxyapatite; biomechanics; experimental mechanics; x-ray tomography; small-angle x-ray scattering SAXS ; wide-angle x-ray scattering WAXS ; x-ray fluorescence XRF ; small-angle x-ray scattering tensor tomography SASTT ; Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy FTIR ; polarized light microscopy PLM ; bone development; Achilles tendon; tendon healing;

    Abstract : Collagen is the main organic building block of musculoskeletal tissues. Despite collagen being their smallest load bearing unit, these tissues differ significantly in mechanical function and properties. A major factor behind these differences is their hierarchical organization, from the collagen molecule up to the organ scale. READ MORE

  6. 4. Botulinum Toxin in the Treatment of Focal Hyperhidrosis and Dyshidrotic Hand Dermatitis

    Author : Carl Swartling; Klas Nordlind; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Hyperhidrosis; dyshidrotic hand dermatitis; botulinum toxin; side-effects; EMG; quality of life; sweat glands; immunohistochemistry; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Dermatologi och venereologi; Dermatology and Venerology;

    Abstract : Excessive sweating may cause considerable disability, with psychological, social and occupational consequences. Primary hyperhidrosis may also play a key role in the pathogenesis of dyshidrotic dermatitis and some other skin diseases. READ MORE

  7. 5. Structural and functional studies of a novel Botulinum neurotoxin and of MTH1

    Author : Linda Henriksson; Pål Stenmark; Maria Selmer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Botulinum neurotoxin; botulism; cancer; gene cluster; molecular structures; MTH1; NTNH; oxidised nucleotides; progenitor complex; protein expression; protein purification; X-ray crystallography; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : X-ray crystallography visualizes the three dimensional molecular structures of proteins at atomic resolution. Seeing the molecular structure of a biomedically interesting protein enables a higher understanding of its function. READ MORE
