1. 3D modelling of epidermal nerve fiber patterns
Abstract : Neuropathical disorders, such as diabetic neuropathy, damage the nerve structure in the epidermis. This thesis presents statistical analyses and models for the epidermal nerve fibers (ENFs). The main objective is to improve our understanding regarding the three dimensional ENF structure and for this purpose, stochastic models are constructed. READ MORE

2. Statistical methods for early discovery of diabetic neuropathy using epidermal nerve fiber data
Abstract : The main aim with the work in this thesis is to increase the understanding of the effects diabetic neuropathy has on the epidermal nerve fibers and thereby find methods to detect the disorder at an earlier stage. Epidermal nerve fibers (ENFs) are small sensory nerve fibers in the skin, sensing heat and pain. READ MORE

3. Spatial analysis and modeling of nerve fiber patterns
Abstract : Diabetic neuropathy is a condition associated with diabetes affecting the epidermal nerve fibers (ENFs). This thesis presents analysis methods and models for ENF data, with two main puroposes: to find early signs of diabetic neuropathy and to characterize how this condition changes the nerve fiber structure.

5. Cellular and molecular mechanisms of inflammatory arthritis and fibromyalgia
Abstract : In Study I, we examined the impact of the hR100E-NGF mutation on inflammatory pain and bone erosion in both female and male mice. Our findings indicate that the hR100E-NGF mutation did not affect the development of the peripheral sensory nervous system at the lumbar DRG, sciatic nerve, ankle joint, or glabrous skin. READ MORE
