2. 1. Daily Physical Activity, Body Fat and Aerobic Fitness in Children

   Author : Magnus Dencker; Malmö Klinisk fysiologi och nuklearmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Physiology; Fysiologi; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Aerobic fitness; Body fat; Children; Daily physical activity;

   Abstract : Introduction: Physical inactivity, low aerobic fitness and obesity are all associated with an increased risk of a wide range of diseases in adults. Promotion of physical activity, improvement of aerobic fitness and regulation of body weight in children may be of importance, as low physical activity, low aerobic fitness and obesity early in life have been known to track into adulthood.

4. 2. Magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor imaging after brachial plexus injury and repair : Experimental and clinical study

   Author : Grainne Bourke; Mikael Wiberg; Lev N. Novikov; Lars Dahlin; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Brachial Plexus; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Neonatal; Diffusion Tensor Imaging;

   Abstract : Brachial plexus injuries (BPI) cause permanent upper limb paralysis and serious disability in adults and children. Timely identification of the severity of nerve injury and early appreciation of the inane potential for recovery would revolutionise management. READ MORE

5. 3. Functional and morphological MR studies in congenital cardiovascular malformations

   Author : Catarina Holmqvist; Lund Diagnostisk radiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; medicinsk instrumentering; tomografi; radiologi; Klinisk fysiologi; Contrast-enhanced MR angiography.; Coarctation; Intra-cardiac shunts; Conduits; Tetralogy of Fallot; Function; Flow; MR velocity mapping; Infants; Children; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Angiocardiography; Heart; Congenital heart defects; medical instrumentation; tomography; radiology; Clinical physics;

   Abstract : The aim of this study was to evaluate new MR techniques permitting qualitative and quantitative analysis of cardiac function and measurement of velocity and flow, and later on contrast-enhanced MR angiography, techniques largely unexplored in children with CHD. Infants with tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect were examined pre-operatively. READ MORE

6. 4. Diagnosis of solid abdomino-pelvic tumours in children : A retrospective radiological study

   Author : Claes Hugosson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Children; pelvic; staging: MR; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; onkologi;

   Abstract : Problems and Aims: Solid abdomino-pelvic tumours (APTs) in children constitute a heterogeneous group of masses which may originate from the retroperitoneum, the abdominal or pelvic cavities or any adjacent structure. They have different histological features, growth patterns and prognoses. READ MORE

7. 5. The effect of pressure afterload due to aortic coarctation on left ventricular function in children

   Author : Haki Jashari; Michael Henein; Annika Rydberg; Katarina Hanséus; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Coarctation of the aorta; congenital aortic stenosis; left ventricle; myocardial deformation imaging; speckle tracking echocardiography; longitudinal strain; aorto-septal angle; children; kardiologi; Cardiology;

   Abstract : Background:Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital heart disease which represents a narrowing of the proximal descending aorta, hence increasing pressure afterload to the left ventricle (LV). Conventional treatment of native CoA is surgical repair, however potential recurrence or other related complications e.g. READ MORE
