2. 1. Driving to Learn. The process of growing consciousness of tool use - a grounded theory of de-plateauing

   Author : Lisbeth Nilsson; Hållbar vardag och hälsa i ett livsperspektiv; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; Social sciences; Samhällsvetenskaper; rehabilitation; revalidation; kinesitherapy; Physical medicine; arbetsmiljömedicin; Yrkesmedicin; industrial medicine; Occupational health; assessment; outcome; profound cognitive disabilities; powered wheelchair; joystick; well-being; control; self-awareness; growth; facilitate; activity; occupation;

   Abstract : The Driving to Learn project explored possible achievements of training people with cognitive disabilities in a joystick-operated powered wheelchair utilizing the grounded theory approach. Theoretical sampling led the concomitant collection and analysis of data. READ MORE

4. 2. Two New Non-invasive Treatment Methods for Otitis Media with Effusion in Children and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea in Adults

   Author : Armin Bidarian-Moniri; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Otitis media with effusion; Obstructive sleep apnoea; Serous otitis media; Conservative non-invasive non-surgical treatment; Glue ear; Polygraphy; Autoinflation; Polysomnography; Valsalva; Positional therapy; Politzer; Supine lateral and prone positioning; Secretory otitis media; Sleep apnea;

   Abstract : Otitis media with effusion (OME) in children and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in adults are common conditions in medicine. Several surgical and non-surgical methods have been suggested for treatment of these diseases. READ MORE

5. 3. Mechanisms of Transgene Silencing in Neural Cells -Implications for Ex Vivo Gene Therapy to the Brain

   Author : Nina Rosenqvist; Neurobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neurophysiology; Neurologi; Neurology; neuropsychology; ChIP; rat; transgene; insulator; differentiation; GFP; lentivirus; DNA methylation; histone deacetylation; chromatin; expression; silencing; stem cell; progenitor; gene therapy; neurofysiologi; neuropsykologi; CNS; transplantation;

   Abstract : The use of genetically modifi ed neural stem and progenitor cells could possibly be a future strategy for repairing a brain suffering from neurodegeneration. However, so far it has proven diffi cult to maintain sufficient levels of a transferred gene in suitable cell types, after transplantation. READ MORE

6. 4. Generation of cell diversity in the developing brainstem and its modeling in vitro

   Author : Mariya Kozhevnikova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The intersection of spatial and temporal patterning programs underlies the formation of neural cell type diversity in the developing central nervous system (CNS). Deciphering the molecular mechanisms regulating positional and temporal patterning provides a basic framework for how the developing brain can be functionally assembled, and the growing knowledge about these patterning mechanisms offer a powerful tool to effectively control the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into different neuronal subtypes of clinical importance.

7. 5. Role of the OX40 ligand/receptor pair in coronary artery disease

   Author : Massimiliano Ria; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Atherosclerosis is the pathological basis for coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. CAD and atherosclerosis have long been known to have a familial component and result from the interaction of several genes with a wide range of environmental and lifestyle factors. READ MORE
