  2. 16. Study the role of patient-specific mutations by genetic disease modeling : From gene to function; A study to understand muscles

    Author : Martin Dahl-Halvarsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Muscles; Myosin; MYH7; Myosin storage myopathy; Laing early-onset myopathy; Drosophila; TOR1A; DYT1; HCM; heart disease;

    Abstract : Many genetic diseases inherited in a dominant fashion have a complex pathological pattern. TOR1A mediated Dystonia-1 (DYT1) is an example of incomplete penetrance, affecting only a third of the carriers. READ MORE

  4. 17. Ophthalmological follow-up in young adults born premature and screened for retinopathy of prematurity

    Author : Dýrleif Pétursdóttir; Eva Larsson; Gerd Holmström; Marita Andersson Grönlund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Long-term follow-up; prematurity; refraction; retinopathy of prematurity; strabismus; visual function; visual-motor integration; young adults; Ophtalmology; Oftalmiatrik;

    Abstract : Prematurely born children have a higher risk of ophthalmological and neurodevelopmental disorders than those born at term. There is a paucity of long-term prospective follow-up studies on the visual function of prematurely born adults. READ MORE

  5. 18. Long-term follow-up of very low birthweight children : A prospective study from the southeast region of Sweden

    Author : Per-Olof Gäddlin; Ingemar Leijon; Orvar Finnström; Torstein Vik; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Very low birthweight infants; Follow-up studies; Adolescence; Gender; Neonatal risk factors; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Cognitive function; School performance; Health; Quality of Life; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

    Abstract : Background: The survival rates for very low birthweight (VLBW; birthweight ≤1500 g) children are increasing, but they run a greater risk than controls of developing neurosensory disabilities and other functional problems during childhood. However, there is a great need for more knowledge regarding long-term outcome to adulthood in VLBW subjects. READ MORE

  6. 19. Post Cardiac Arrest Care : Evaluation of prognostic tools, Patient outcomes and Relatives’ experiences at 6 months after the event

    Author : Ewa Wallin; Sten Rubertsson; Marja-Leena Kristofferzon; Silvana Naredi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; hypothermia; neurological outcome; cerebral oxygenation; MRI; relatives; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The overall aim of the present thesis was to study post-resuscitation care of cardiac arrest (CA) patients treated with target temperature management 33°C with a focus on evaluation of two prognostic tools: variations in cerebral venous saturation and acute magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings on the brain post-CA. An additional aim was to investigate patients’ neurological outcome and relatives’ experiences 6 months after the event. READ MORE

  7. 20. Biomechanical consequences of gait impairment at the ankle and foot : Injury, malalignment, and co-contraction

    Author : Ruoli Wang; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Eva Broström; Eriksson Anders; Ilse Jonkers; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; muscle function; gait analysis; induced acceleration; foot kinematics; dynamic joint stiffness;

    Abstract : The human foot contributes significantly to the function of the whole lower extremity during standing and locomotion. Nevertheless, the foot and ankle often suffer injuries and are affected by many musculoskeletal and neurological pathologies. READ MORE
