  2. 1. Identification of pathways of degeneration and protection in motor neuron diseases

    Author : Susanne Nichterwitz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Motor neuron diseases preferentially affect specific neuronal populations with distinct clinical features even if disease-causing genes are expressed in many cell types. In spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), somatic motor neurons are selectively vulnerable to a deficiency in the broadly expressed survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. READ MORE

  4. 2. General Motor Function Assessment and Perceptions of Life Satisfaction during and after Geriatric Rehabilitation

    Author : Anna Cristina Åberg; Hans Lithell; Birgitta Lindmark; Birgitta Sidenvall; Christina Helging Stenström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Geriatric nursing; geriatric rehabilitation; motor function; assessment; qualitative interviews; life satisfaction; self-expresion; informal care; Äldrevård; Older people and ageing; Äldre och åldrande;

    Abstract : Two main goals of geriatric rehabilitation are to re-establish ability for physical function in order to facilitate independence in activities of daily living (ADL), and to promote an optimal degree of well-being, i.e. life satisfaction, in the individual. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies on metals in motor neuron disease

    Author : Per M Roos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A slow but steady increase in neurodegenerative disorders has been noted in recent decades. Degenerations in the nervous system are found in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and motor neuron diseases. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common of the motor neuron diseases. READ MORE

  6. 4. Experimental spinal cord injury : development of protection and repair strategies in rats

    Author : Matthias Erschbamer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Spinal cord injury typically results in neurological deficits that can not be reversed, often leaving patients bound to a wheelchair. Current treatment strategies are not very successful. Despite many promising experimental strategies, clinical translation has so far been very limited. READ MORE

  7. 5. High Frequency Model of Electrified Railway Propulsion System for EMC Analysis

    Author : Kelin Jia; Rajeev Thottappillil; Hans Bängtsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electromagnetic compatibility; railway; propulsion system; multitransmission line; ac motor modeling; vector fitting; fast transient;

    Abstract : A model of the electrified railway propulsion system working in a wide frequency range is studied in this thesis. The high frequency modeling is the first stage to study and predict the Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems in the electrified railway propulsion system, which are safety and reliability issues of high concern.
