2. 1. Model-based optimization for individualized deep brain stimulation

   Author : Rubén Cubo; Alexander Medvedev; Madeleine Lowery; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Neuromodulation; Deep Brain Stimulation; Inverse Problems; Optimization; Finite Element Methods; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot reglerteknik; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Automatic Control;

   Abstract : Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is an established therapy that is predominantly  utilized in treating the symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor, crippling diseases like Chronic Pain and Epilepsy, and psychiatric diseases such as Schizophrenia and Depression. Due to its invasive nature, DBS is considered as a last resort therapy. READ MORE

5. 3. Heat shock proteins in exercised human skeletal muscle

   Author : Mattias Folkesson; Fawzi Kadi; Britta Wåhlin-Larsson; Robert Kruse; Barbara Wessner; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endurance training; Resistance training; Muscle Fibre Type; Electrical Pulse Stimulation; Muscle Hypertrophy;

   Abstract : Exercise is considered as an important stressor accompanied by concerted molecular and cellular changes leading to adaptations at the level of skeletal muscle size and function. An important protein family produced by cells in response to stressful conditions is the heat shock proteins (HSPs). READ MORE

6. 4. Infrared Laser Stimulation of Cerebral Cortex Cells - Aspects of Heating and Cellular Responses

   Author : Rickard Liljemalm; Tobias Nyberg; Hans von Holst; Claus-Peter Richter; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; laser; modeling; heating; infrared neural stimulation; astrocytes; neurons; damage;

   Abstract : The research of functional stimulation of neural tissue is of great interest within the field of clinical neuroscience to further develop new neural prosthetics. A technique which has gained increased interest during the last couple of years is the stimulation of nervous tissue using infrared laser light. READ MORE

7. 5. The Renin Angiotensin System in the Human Esophageal Mucosa − expression, actions and potential involvement in reflux disease

   Author : Eleonora Björkman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; endoscopic biopsies; epithelial electrical current; epithelial electrical resistance; esophageal mucosae; gastroesophageal reflux disease; mucosal barrier integrity; renin angiotensin system;

   Abstract : The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is a classical endocrine system, regulating body fluid balance and blood circulation. Recent research has shown that the system is being also locally expressed and active in several organs and tissues. READ MORE
