  2. 11. Hip and Spine in Cerebral Palsy

    Author : Måns Persson-Bunke; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cerebral palsy; windswept hip deformity; scoliosis; children; posture;

    Abstract : Abstract Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have an increased risk of scoliosis, contractures including windswept hip deformity (WS), and hip dislocation. In 1994, a follow-up program and registry for children and adolescents with CP (CPUP) was initiated in Sweden to allow the early detection and prevention of hip dislocations and other musculoskeletal deformities.

  4. 12. On the role of transversus abdominis in trunk motor control

    Author : Martin Eriksson Crommert; Peter Engfeldt; Alf Thorstensson; Maria Ekblom; Birgitta Öberg; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : transversus abdominis; trunk muscles; EMG; intramuscular; IAP; motor control; postural control; spine stability; postural demand; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : All trunk muscles are important contributors to spine stability. However, the deepest abdominal muscle, transversus abdominis (TrA), with its characteristically horizontal fibre orientation seems to serve a unique function in trunk motor control. READ MORE

  5. 13. Pre- and postoperative evaluation of function and activity in patients with paralytic scoliosis

    Author : Eva-Lena Larsson; Alf Udén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Activities of daily living; disability evaluation; paralysis; complications; physiopathology; scoliosis complications; etiology; physiopathology; surgery; posture; treatment outcome; wheelchairs; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluates surgical correction in patients with paralytic scoliosis with emphasis on function and activity. The thesis includes four studies of 100 consecutive patients preoperatively evaluated and surgically corrected between 1992 and 1996 at Linköping University Hospital. Eighteen different diagnoses were represented. READ MORE

  6. 14. Implications of localization and transport regulation of postsynaptic membrane proteins for synaptic function and psychiatric disorders

    Author : Thomas Liebmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A fundamental means of regulating protein function in cells is through modulation of protein abundance at the sites of action via controlled transport processes. The complexity of neurons makes them especially reliant on regulated delivery of proteins to specialized structures throughout the distant cell branches. READ MORE

  7. 15. Endoplasmic reticulum function in dendrites and dendritic spines of hippocampal neurons

    Author : Ai Na Ng; Sektion IV; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endoplasmic reticulum; primary culture; dendritic spines; live cell imaging; STIM1; carbachol; store-operated calcium entry; 3; familial Alzheimer s disease; 5-dihyroxyphenyglycine;

    Abstract : In the hippocampus, dendritic spines are compartmentalized postsynaptic micro-domains in the excitatory synapse. Subsets of bigger and mushroom-shaped hippocampal dendritic spines contain tubules and cisterns of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that are connected to the soma and dendrites of the neuron. READ MORE
