    Author : Ann-Sofie Leffler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Muscle pain; referred pain; hypoaesthesia; allodynia; musculoskeletal; pain; sensory abnormality; quantitative sensory testing; trapezius myalgia; somatosensory perception; perception thresholds; diffuse noxious inhibitory controls DNIC ; central hyperexcitability; tourniquet test; cold-pressor test.;

    Abstract : The underlying mechanisms maintaining long-term pain localised to musculoskeletal structures and joints are not infrequently unknown. In routine clinical work with such patients insufficient attention has been paid to phenomena indicating altered excitability of the central nervous system (CNS). READ MORE

  4. 22. The effects and experiences of internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy : The perspectives of patients with non-cardiac chest pain and healthcare professionals in the emergency and cardiac care

    Author : Magda Eriksson-Liebon; Ghassan Mourad; Peter Johansson; Lilas Ali; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac anxiety; Cognitive behavioural therapy; Internet-delivered; Non-cardiac chest pain; Patient experience; Psychological distress; Randomised controlled trial; Qualitative design;

    Abstract : BackgroundNon-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) is a common issue, accounting for roughly half of all emergency department visits related to chest pain. Patients afflicted with NCCP often endure cardiac anxiety, misinterpreting the pain as heart-related and fearing it, despite the absence of any life-threatening cardiac issues. READ MORE

  5. 23. Cryoablation of cardiac arrhythmias

    Author : Hamid Bastani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluates the safety and efficacy of cryoablation in supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. In Study I, the acute and long-term outcome of cryoablation therapy of typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) was studied in a large series of patients (n=312). READ MORE

  6. 24. Identification of subgroups in experimental and chronic pain : Sensory, emotional and evaluative aspects

    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : One hundred and two healthy subjects, 32 fibromyalgia patients and 12 chronic low back pain patients were included in the study. Quantitative sensory tests were performed to identify thermal hyperalgesia in the fibromyalgia group and to compare the results with those in healthy pain-free subjects. READ MORE

  7. 25. Learning Spatiotemporal Features in Low-Data and Fine-Grained Action Recognition with an Application to Equine Pain Behavior

    Author : Sofia Broomé; Hedvig Kjellström; Efstratios Gavves; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Equine pain; computer vision for animals; deep learning; deep video models; spatiotemporal features; video understanding; action recognition; frame dependency; video data; end-to-end learning; temporal modeling; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Recognition of pain in animals is important because pain compromises animal welfare and can be a manifestation of disease. This is a difficult task for veterinarians and caretakers, partly because horses, being prey animals, display subtle pain behavior, and because they cannot verbalize their pain. READ MORE
