  2. 1. Peripheral and central effects of nerve regeneration : Experimental and clinical studies

    Author : Thomas Hansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : A nerve injury in the hand often results in profound abnmmalities in sensory perception despite careful alignment and microsurgical repair in order to facilitate accurate nerve regeneration. The present experimental and clinical studies were undertaken in an attempt to functionally evaluate peripheral and central effects of nerve regeneration. READ MORE

  4. 2. Structural and functional studies on nerve regeneration in the rat

    Author : Bo Povlsen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Peripheral nerves cannot be repaired, but they may be helped to regenerate. The results of surgical treatment of nerve injuries remain disappointing, however. This is a biological rather than a technical challenge. READ MORE

  5. 3. Regulation of spontaneous tone in guinea pig trachea

    Author : Staffan Skogvall; Neurofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tetrodotoxin; lidocaine; substance P; tachykinin; prostaglandin; indomethacin; capsaicin; neuroepithelial endocrine cells; epithelium; oxygen; oscillations; spontaneous tone; Asthma; airway smooth muscle; electrical field stimulation.; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Asthma is a common disease, characterized by periods of bronchoconstriction of unclear origin. This thesis examines a specific behavior of airway smooth muscle, the so-called spontaneous airway tone. It was suspected that a defect regulation of this tone may be a cause of asthmatic bronchoconstriction. READ MORE

  6. 4. The role of galanin in chronic pain mechanisms

    Author : Karin Hygge Blakeman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Galanin; galanin receptor 1; pain; neuropathic pain; transgenic mice; knock-out mice; microdialysis;

    Abstract : The general aim of these studies is to further elucidate the role of galanin in pain mechanisms. We have utilized normal and genetically modified animals and a variety of techniques. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Peptide (PACAP): An Experimental Study On the Expression and Regulation in the Peripheral Nervous System

    Author : Kristian Moller; Neuroendokrin cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cytokemi; histokemi; Histologi; vävnadskultur; Histology; cytochemistry; histochemistry; tissue culture;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with PACAP and PACAP type-1 receptors in the sensory and autonomic parts of the peripheral nervous system. In the rat, PACAP is expressed in small-sized sensory neurons and in C-fibers. READ MORE
