2. 1. The sensational hand. Clinical assessment after nerve repair

   Author : Birgitta Rosén; Malmö Handkirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; substitution of senses; artificial sensibility; reliability; validity; diagnose-specific; documentation; assessment; longitudinal; functional outcome; hand; sensibility; ulnar nerve; nerve repair; median nerve; brain plasticity; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

   Abstract : Following the transection and repair of major nerve trunks in the forearm, the functional outcome is influenced by mechanisms in the peripheral, as well as in the central nervous system. In the present thesis the interest is focused on assessment of the outcome after nerve repair, central nervous factors influencing the outcome, and sense substitution to compensate for sensory loss.

4. 2. Development of biosynthetic conduits for peripheral nerve repair

   Author : Aleksandra McGrath; Liudmila N Novikova; John Haycock; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biosynthetic conduit; Mesenchymal stem cells; Nerve graft; Nerve tissue engineering; Peripheral nerve injury; Schwann cells;

   Abstract : Peripheral nerve injuries are often associated with significant loss of nervous tissue leading to poor restoration of function following repair of injured nerves. Although the injury gap could be bridged by autologous nerve graft, the limited access to donor material and additional morbidity such as loss of sensation and scarring have prompted a search for biosynthetic nerve transplants.

5. 3. Facial nerve injury and microsurgical repair : Experimental and clinical studies

   Author : Davor Jergovic; Thomas Carlstedt; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Facial palsy is a relatively common clinical condition with a variety of causes. Irrespective of its etiology, facial palsy always represents a very serious problem for the patient. This underlines the need for more effective treatment procedures. READ MORE

6. 4. End-to-side nerve repair - A study in the forelimb of the rat

   Author : Eleana Bontioti; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Nerve regeneration; Kirurgi; traumatology; Surgery; orthopaedics; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Retrograde labelling; ATF3; Collateral sprouting; ortopedi; traumatologi; Nerve injury;

   Abstract : Nerve injuries have a profound impact on individuals, suffering for the patients and induce cost for society. When dealing with severe nerve injuries that create a gap between nerve segments or when the injury is at the brachial plexus level, the clinical alternatives are limited. 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.
