2. 6. Cost-Efficient Designs for Assessing Work-Related Biomechanical Exposures

   Author : Mahmoud Rezagholi; Svend Erik Mathiassen; Apostolos Bantekas; Eva Vingård; Göran Hägg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : measurement strategy; postural loads; statistical performance; optimization; economic evaluation; resource allocation; input costs; cost function; returns to scale; elasticity; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; Arbets- och miljömedicin;

   Abstract : Work-related disorders due to biomechanical exposures have been subject to extensive research. Studies addressing these exposures have, however, paid limited attention to an efficient use of resources in exposure assessment. The present thesis investigates cost-efficient procedures for assessment of work-related biomechanical exposures, i.e. READ MORE

4. 7. Mesenchymal stem cell regeneration and differentiation after anti inflammatory drug exposure

   Author : Maritha Kumlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Traumatic and degenerative pathologies of the musculoskeletal system are common and often involve injuries of multiple mesenchymal tissues including bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Medical intervention is frequently initiated to relieve pain, restore biomechanical function, with aim to return to the desired level of activity as soon as possible. READ MORE

5. 8. Developmental exposure to mixtures of persistent environmental pllutants with focus on bone and retinoid system modulations

   Author : Lubna E Elabbas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Environmental pollution of Arctic regions has evoked a scientific as well as public concern. Arctic Inuit inhabitants consume large amounts of fatty fish and marine mammals and are therefore exposed to levels of environmental toxicants that are suspected to cause adverse health effects.

   Abstract : Lung diseases continue to present a large burden to public health, especially in industrialized countries. For abetter understanding of the underlying patho-mechanisms in lung related diseases as well as for testing theefficacy of novel therapies, preclinical studies in animal models are indispensable.

7. 10. Working conditions and musculoskeletal disorders in flight baggage handling

   Author : Eva L Bergsten; Svend Erik Mathiassen; Eva Vingård; Lydia Kwak; Margareta Nordin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epidemiology; low back pain; shoulder pain; physical exposures; psychosocial exposures; inclinometry; implementation; process evaluation; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; Arbets- och miljömedicin; Health-Promoting Work;

   Abstract : Introduction: Baggage handling is considered to be a heavy manual handling job including biomechanical exposures suspected of increasing the risk for musculoskeletal disorders. Aims: To document low back pain (LBP), shoulder pain (SP), and physical and psychosocial factors in baggage handlers, and to evaluate the implementation of an ergonomic intervention aiming to increase the use of loading assist devices.
