  4. 2. Morphological and electromyographical studies of trapezius myalgia in cleaners

    Author : Britt Larsson; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; female cleaners; Trapezius myalgia; work-related; arbetsmiljömedicin; Yrkesmedicin; industrial medicine; Occupational health; morphological analysis and surface-EMG;

    Abstract : Pathomechanisms of work-related myalgia are poorly understood. Myalgia is caused by exitation of nociceptors present in the muscular tissue but not in the muscle fibres themselves. Morphological analysis can contribute to knowledge of excitation of nociceptors. Surface EMG is a widely used method in the research field of ergonomics. READ MORE

  5. 3. Induction of a non-allergic inflammation in the human respiratory tract by organic dust

    Author : Britt-Marie Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Swine farmers; airway inflammation; bronchial responsiveness; organic dust; interleukins; lekotrienes;

    Abstract : Swine farming is an occupation associated with high exposure levels to organic dust, but gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulphide are also contributing to the potentially hazardous exposure. The prevalences for respiratory symptoms, chronic or work-related, are increased among swine farmers, compared to both the normal population as well as other farming categories. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The components of DNA, the deoxyribonucleotides, are produced from the components of RNA, the ribonucleotides. One single substitution is needed to convert a ribonucleotide into a deoxyribonucleotide i.e. a replacement of a hydroxyl group with a hydrogen atom. READ MORE
