  2. 1. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Diabetes. Surgical outcome and nerve pathology

    Author : Niels Thomsen; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intraepidermal nerve fibre; health-related quality of life; Carpal tunnel syndrome; diabetes mellitus; myelinated nerve fibre; nerve biopsy; nerve conduction study; skin biopsy.;

    Abstract : Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy in the upper extremity. Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing CTS from an estimated prevalence of 2-4% in the general population to 15-30% in diabetics. READ MORE

  4. 2. Peripheral polyneuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance. Correlations between morphology, neurophysiology, and clinical findings

    Author : Soley Thrainsdottir; Sektion IV; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nerve conduction studies; skin biopsy; intraepidermal nerve fibers; Diabetic neuropathy; sural nerve pathology; body mass index; quantitative sensory testing; vibrotactile sense;

    Abstract : Diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy (PN) is a common and serious complication of diabetes. The prevalence of PN is rising with the global burden of type 2 diabetes. The causal mechanisms of PN are not fully understood, but both vascular and metabolic factors play a role. READ MORE

  6. 4. Expression of biomarkers by peripheral nerve fibres in human masseter muscle

    Author : Abdelrahman Alhilou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) often manifest as masticatory muscle pain (myalgia). Nerve growth factor (NGF) and glutamate injection into healthy human masseter muscle induced signs and symptoms mimicking those of TMD myalgia and have therefore been suggested as pain models to study the neurobiological mechanisms of this type of chronic pain conditions.

  7. 5. The serotonin receptor type 3 in chronic and experimental human muscle pain

    Author : Nikolaos Christidis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : 5-HT3 receptor; Granisetron; Human muscles; Muscle biopsy; Pain; Pressure pain threshold; Visual Analogue Scale; Randomized Controlled Double-blind Trial;

    Abstract : The main aim of this thesis was to gain a better understanding of the influence of serotonin on chronic craniofacial muscle pain. The thesis comprised a basic science part and a human experimental part. READ MORE
