    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to study the myouelectric activity of all major muscles involved in the movements and stabilization of the trunk, pelvis and hips during training exercises, postures, motor tasks, maximal strength performance and locomotion. By use of ultra-sound, EMG electrodes could be guided safely and accurately into muscles situated even close to the spinal column, such as psoas, quadratus lumborum and deep parts of erector spinae.

    Abstract : The use of organometallic chemistry in the pursuit of novel scaffolds is outline d. A 4-phenyl- 2-carboxy-piperazine targeted combinatorial chemistry library has been synthesized aimed at the early lead discovery phase. READ MORE

  6. 4. Structure-Based Design and Synthesis of Protease Inhibitors Using Cycloalkenes as Proline Bioisosteres and Combinatorial Syntheses of a Targeted Library

    Author : Fredrik Thorstensson; Ingemar Kvarnström; Charles Hedgecock; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; organic chemistry; organic synthesis; combinatorial synthesis; metathesis; olefin metathesis; thrombin; HCV; NS3; protease; proline isosteres; inhibitor; Organic synthesis; Organisk syntes;

    Abstract : Structure-based drug design and combinatorial chemistry play important roles in the search for new drugs, and both these elements of medicinal chemistry were included in the present studies. This thesis outlines the synthesis of protease inhibitors against thrombin and the HCV NS3 protease, as well as the synthesis of a combinatorial library using solid phase chemistry. READ MORE

  7. 5. Exercise and Functional Performance in Middle-aged Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis

    Abstract : The overall purpose of this thesis was to explore the impact of exercise and functional performance on development and treatment of knee osteoarthritis in the middle aged. In this thesis, I have studied a population based cohort of middle-aged subjects (35-54 years, 42 % women) with chronic knee pain at baseline, to evaluate the longitudinal effect of muscle weakness on knee osteoarthritis development, the relationship between muscle function and joint load and the effects of exercise on joint load.
