2. 1. Biomolecular Aspects of Flexor Tendon Healing

   Author : Maria Berglund; Monica Wiig; Olof Nilsson; Jan Fridén; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Flexor tendon healing; Growth factor; Metalloproteinase; Collagen; Proteoglycan; Myofibroblast; Hyaluronan synthase; Mast cell; Hand surgery; Handkirurgi; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

   Abstract : Flexor tendon injuries in zone II of the hand (i.e. between the distal volar crease and the distal interphalangeal joint) can be costly for both the afflicted individual and society because of the high cost of a long rehabilitation period, complicated by tendon ruptures or scarring with adhesion formation, causing impaired range of motion.

4. 2. Upper limb assessment and treatment in cerebral palsy

   Author : Izabela Blaszczyk; Mikael Wiberg; Louise Rönnqvist; Ann van Heest; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cerebral palsy; upper limb; botulinum toxin type A; upper limb surgery; side effects; thumb assessment; handkirurgi; hand surgery;

   Abstract : Cerebral palsy (CP) is a heterogeneous group of neurological disorders caused by fetal or infant brain damage that often involves deficits in upper limb (UL) posture and function. Knowledge about effective methods of assessment and treatment of UL in CP is not extensive. In this thesis, different aspects of these two are explored. READ MORE

5. 3. Neuroprotection and axonal regeneration after peripheral nerve injury

   Author : Dag Welin; Lev N. Novikov; Lars B. Dahlin; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dorsal root ganglion; Motoneuron; Axonal reaction; Peripheral nerve injury; Nerve regeneration; N-acetylcysteine; Hand surgery; Handkirurgi; Anatomy; Anatomi; anatomi; Human Anatomy; handkirurgi; hand surgery;

   Abstract : Following microsurgical reconstruction of injured peripheral nerves, severed axons are able to undergo spontaneous regeneration. However, the functional result is always unsatisfactory with poor sensory recovery and reduced motor function. READ MORE

6. 4. Intrasynovial flexor tendon injuries and repair

   Author : Sara Edsfeldt; Monica Wiig; Kenneth Jonsson; Lars Adolfsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Complications after surgical repair of intrasynovial flexor tendon injuries in the hand occur despite advanced suture techniques and structured postoperative rehabilitation regimens. Early controlled tendon mobilization prevents adhesion formations and improves tendon healing as well as digit range of motion. READ MORE

7. 5. Sensory neuronal protection & improving regeneration after peripheral nerve injury

   Author : Andrew McKay Hart; Mikael Wiberg; Angus McGrouther; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; cell death; TUNEL; optical disection; dorsal root ganglion; peripheral nerve; nerve conduit; Schwann cell; glial growth factor; leukaemia inhibitory factor; acetyl-L-carnitine; N-acetyl-cysteine; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

   Abstract : Peripheral nerve trauma is a common cause of considerable functional morbidity, and healthcare expenditure. Particularly in the ~15% of injuries unsuitable for primary repair, standard clinical management results in inadequate sensory restitution in the majority of cases, despite the rigorous application of complex microsurgical techniques.
