  2. 1. The human Achilles tendon : innervation and intratendinous production of nerve signal substances - of importance in understanding the processes of Achilles tendinosis

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Achilles tendon; tendinosis; tendinopathy; nerve signal substances; hälsena; Achillessena; tendinos; tendinopati; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Abstract : Tendinopathies are painful tendon conditions of presumably multifactorial genesis. In tendinosis, as in Achilles tendinosis, there is apart from pain also morphological changes which are described as degenerative with no signs of inflammation. The exact mechanisms behind these conditions are still, to a large extent, unknown. READ MORE

  4. 2. Improved Lp Hardy Inequalities

    Author : Jesper Tidblom; Ari Laptev; Andrzej Szulkin; Achilles Tertikas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spectral theory; Hardy inequality; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Abstract : Paper 1 : A geometrical version of Hardy's inequality for W_0^{1,p}(D).The aim of this article is to prove a Hardy-type inequality, concerning functions in W_0^{1,p}(D) for some domain D in R^n, involving the volume of D and the distance to the boundary of D. The inequality is a generalization of a previously proved inequality by M. and T. READ MORE

  5. 3. The plantaris tendon in relation to the Achilles tendon in midportion Achilles tendinopathy : studies on morphology, innervation and signalling substances

    Abstract : Midportion Achilles tendinopathy (tendinosis) is a troublesome painful condition, often characterised by pain, local swelling, tenderness and functional disability. Despite extensive research, the pathogenesis is poorly understood and treatment remains challenging. Features related to the peritendinous connective tissue can be of importance. READ MORE

  7. 5. Achilles tendinopathy : evaluation and treatment

    Author : Karin Grävare Silbernagel; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Tendinopathy > therapy; Achilles tendon > pathology; Clinical protocols >;

    Abstract : Abstract. Background: Achilles tendinopathy is considered to be one of the most common overuse injuries in elite and recreational athletes. There are, however, only a few randomized studies of treatment and there is a need for standardized outcome measures for the patients? symptoms and function. READ MORE
