  2. 1. Cervical Spine Injuries - Numerical Analyses and Statistical Survey

    Author : Karin Brolin; KTH; []
    Keywords : neck injuries; finite element method; numerical analysis; cervical spine;

    Abstract : Injuries to the neck, or cervical region, are very importantsince there is a potential risk of damage to the spinal cord.Any neck injury can have devastating if not life threateningconsequences. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sensorimotor characteristics in chronic neck pain : possible pathophysiological mechanisms and implications for rehabilitation

    Author : Peter Michaelson; Gwendolyn Jull; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Outcome prediction; Pain intensity; Neck Pain; WAD; Motor control; Proprioception; Balance; Cervical stability; Jerk; Neck kinematics; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Pain from the musculoskeletal system is very common in the modern society. Chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes causes not only individual suffering but also dysfunctions of movements and postural control, as large costs for the society. READ MORE

  5. 3. 3D Finite Element Modeling of Cervical Musculature and its Effect on Neck Injury Prevention

    Author : Sofia Hedenstierna; Hans von Holst; Peter Halldin; Jac Wismans; KTH; []
    Keywords : Finite Element; Cervical Musculature; Neck injury prediction; Continuum Mechanics; Solid Elements; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Injuries to the head and neck are potentially the most severe injuries in humans, since they may damage the nervous system. In accidents, the cervical musculature stabilizes the neck in order to prevent injury to the spinal column and is also a potential site for acute muscle strain, resulting in neck pain. READ MORE

  6. 4. Maternal and placental inflammatory biomarkers in spontaneous preterm delivery - Predictive ability, stability and neonatal associations

    Author : Panos Tsiartas; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Preterm birth; Prediction; Multiplex; Microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity; Histological chorioamnionitis; Neonatal outcome; Cytokine stability; Interleukin-6 IL-6 ;

    Abstract : Preterm delivery (PTD), spontaneous or iatrogenic, causes short- and long-term morbidity and underlies almost 75% of neonatal deaths. The prevalence in the Nordic countries is about 6% but it differs among countries. In the USA, for instance, it is around 9.6%. READ MORE

  7. 5. Human papillomavirus infection, genetic instability and invasive properties of cervical lesions

    Author : Barbro Skyldberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cervical neoplasia; HPV; ISH; PCR; centrosomes; genetic stability; laminin-5;

    Abstract : Cancer of the uterine cervix is one of the most frequent malignancies in women worldwide. Approximately half a million new cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed each year, and about 200 000 women die from the disease. Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA has been shown to be present in about 90 % of all cervical cancers. READ MORE
