1. A Helping Hand : On Innovations for Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology
Abstract : This thesis focuses on assistive and rehabilitation technology for restoring the function of the hand. It presents three different approaches to assistive technology: one in the form of an orthosis, one in the form of a brain-computer interface combined with functional electrical stimulation and finally one totally aiming at rehabilitating the nervous system by restoring brain function using the concept of neuroplasticity.

2. Studies on the overactive bladder with special reference to diagnosis, classification and surgical treatment
Abstract : The overactive bladder (OB) is a symptom of disturbed neuromuscular control of the lower urinary tract. The cause is sometimes obvious, but even a lesion that is minor and difficult to detect might be of significance. READ MORE

3. Biochemical and immunological characterization of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo marmorata electric organ
Abstract : Neuronal information transfer in vertebrate skeletal muscle and in the electric organ of e.g. Torpedo is mediated by acetylcholine (ACh). The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) complex translates the binding of ACh into permeability changes. READ MORE

5. Materials and Devices for Stretchable Electronic Nerve Interfaces
Abstract : Within our body, there is a large network of nerves that facilitates communication between the brain and the body’s organs. This network is called our peripheral nervous system, consisting of soft and stretchable nerve bundles that gradually increase in their functional specificity as they split and branch out the closer they get to their target organ.
