  2. 21. Implications of autonomic nervous system and central inflammatory parameters for the perception of pain in fibromyalgia patients

    Author : Diana Kadetoff; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : fibromyalgia;

    Abstract : Dysfunctions of the autonomic nervous system and of endogenous pain modulation have been reported in fibromyalgia (FM) patients. The dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, i.e. READ MORE

  4. 22. Multimodal neuroimaging of pain and inflammation in the central nervous system in patients with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis

    Author : Angelica Sandström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The prevalence of concomitant fibromyalgia (FM) is puzzlingly high among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and a contemporary challenge is to resolve why some RA patients continue to report pain despite adequate treatment of their peripheral inflammation. While recent literature has concentrated on the link between cerebral and inflammatory mechanisms in RA patients with concomitant FM, little attention has been directed towards commonalities and divergences among these two patient groups when they are wellcharacterized.

  5. 23. Reliability-based Design Procedure for Flexible Pavements

    Author : Yared Hailegiorgis Dinegdae; Björn Birgisson; Nicole Kringos; Nils Rydén; William Buttlar; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Top-Down fatigue cracking; asphalt mixture morphology; fracture mechanics; response surface; reliability analysis; load resistance factor design; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : Load induced top-down fatigue cracking has been recognized recently as a major distress phenomenon in asphalt pavements. This failure mode has been observed in many parts of the world, and in some regions, it was found to be more prevalent and a primary cause of pavements failure. READ MORE

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by snoring, apneas and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS).

OSA is associated with obesity and with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and the metabolic syndrome. READ MORE

  7. 25. Cured but not well : long term survivorship after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation

    Author : Erik Boberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Improved donor matching and supportive care have reduced short term complications after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), leading to a growing number of survivors. However, despite being cured of leukemia many patients struggle to return to a normal life due to persistent chronic graft versus host disease (cGvHD), fatigue and cognitive dysfunction. READ MORE
