  2. 6. Cutaneous effects of nerve injury : An experimental study in the rat

    Author : Nenad Stankovics; Göran Lundborg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : One of the most difficult tasks of the hand surgeon is to reach a satisfactory restoration of the nerve functions of the injuried hand. In spite of the use of meticulous microsurgery, the results of nerve repair are disappointing, particularly with respect to mixed nerve trunks. READ MORE

  4. 7. Hidradenitis suppurativa : clinical studies with focus on evaluation

    Author : Karin Sartorius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of mainly unknown aetiology which in most cases involves axillae or groins and that can last for decades. In this thesis different clinical aspects of HS are studied: development of a clinical scoring system, relation to smoking and obesity, outcome of laser surgery, bacteraemia in HS patients and distribution of the neuroendocrine marker protein gene product (PGP) 9.

  5. 8. Study of serotonin, innervation and sensory neuropeptides in allergic contact dermatitis

    Author : Husameldin El-Nour; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Allergic contact dermatitis; serotonin; sensory neuropeptides; nerve density;

    Abstract : In a murine model of contact allergy, 24 h after challenge with antigen, increased axonal growth using an antibody to growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) was seen in the epidermis and dermis of eczematous skin. Protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) positive nerve fibres tended to increase in the eczematous skin. READ MORE

  6. 9. Changes in human uterine innervation in term pregnancy and labor occurence and roles of neurotrophins and TRPV1

    Author : Berith Karlsson Tingåker; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Keywords : menopause; paraurethral connective tissue; extracellular matrix; collagen. proteoglycans; sensory innervation; intravaginal slingplasty.;

    Abstract : Objective: The pathophysiology of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is multifactorial. In this thesis biochemical and ultrastructural changes in the paraurethral supporting connective tissue and changes in the innervation of the vaginal wall in relation to SUI have been focused upon.
