  2. 1. The temporomandibular joint : Tomopraphic and CT assesment of its bone demarcations with reference to adjacent organs

    Author : Jan Ahlqvist; Annika Isberg; Sven-Ola Hietala; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Temporomandibular joint; anatomy; tomography; CT; artefacts; odontologi; Odontology;

    Abstract : The wall of the temporal bone separating the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) from surroundings organs, can be very thin and also have development defects. Distortion effects in the radiographic reproduction of these bone walls can result in misinterpretations when exanimating suspected pathologic changes in the region. READ MORE

  4. 2. Inversion and Joint Inversion of Electromagnetic and Potential Field Data

    Author : Jochen Kamm; Ari Tryggvason; Laust B Pedersen; Mehrdad Bastani; Douglas Oldenburg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inversion; Electromagnetic methods; Joint inversion; Potential Field methods; Inversion; Elektromagnetische Verfahren; Joint-Inversion; Potentialverfahren; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics;

    Abstract : In this thesis, four inversion problems of different scale and difficulty are solved. Two of them are electromagnetic inverse problems. Two more are joint inversion problems of potential field data and other types of data. READ MORE

  5. 3. Chronic lateral instability of the ankle joint : natural course, pathophysiology and steroradiographic evaluation of conservative and surgical treatment

    Author : Richard Löfvenberg; Per Renström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ankle-Joint-Instability; Kinematics; Ligament; Osteoarthritis; Orthosis; Proprioception; Radiology; Reaction time; Stereo-Photogrammetry; Subtalar; Surgery;

    Abstract : Chronic lateral instability of the ankle (CLI), defined as frequent sprains and recurrent giving way, difficulty in walking and running on uneven surface, is often connected with pain and swollen ankles. It occurs in 10 to 20 percent after acute ankle injuries. READ MORE

  6. 4. Block stability analysis using deterministic and probabilistic methods

    Author : Mehdi Bagheri; Håkan Stille; Charlie C. Li; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Block stability analysis; Model uncertainty; Joint relaxation; Partial factor; Sensitivity analysis;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a discussion of design tools for analysing block stability around a tunnel. First, it was determined that joint length and field stress have a significant influence on estimating block stability. READ MORE

  7. 5. Chronic anterior cruciate ligament tear : knee function and knee extensor muscle size, morphology and function before and after surgical reconstruction

    Author : Lars-Gunnar Elmqvist; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; knee joint; ligaments; articular; surgery; muscle fibre; isokinetics; exercise therapy; muscular atrophy; electromyography;

    Abstract : Knee function was evaluated by knee score, activity level, clinical findings and performance tests, muscle size by computerized tomography (CT), morphology by light (LM) and electron microscopy (EM), muscle function by electromyography (EMG) and isokinetic performance in 29 patients with chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Preoperatively CT disclosed a significant mean atrophy of the quadriceps and nonsignificant changes of the other muscle areas of the injured leg. READ MORE
