   Abstract : Objectives: To explore the pain mechanism and the origin of the pain and to evaluate a short-term pain relief treatment in women suffering from CPP persisting after childbirth in order to enable physiotherapeutic intervention.Material and methods: Thirty-six parous women with chronic pelvic pain persisting after childbirth were recruited at the Department of Physiotherapy, SundsvallHospital and by advertisements in newspapers and 29 parous women without chronic pelvic pain were recruited from an organized gynaecological screening at a midwifery surgery.

4. 2. Genetics of pain : studies of migraine and pain insensitivity

   Author : Anna Norberg; Monica Holmberg; Arn van den Maagdenberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Migraine; pain insensitivity; susceptibility genes; genome-wide scan; linkage; polymorphism; association; HSAN V; nerve growth factor; neurite outgrowth; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

   Abstract : Pain is a major public health issue throughout the world. Increased understanding of the different forms of pain and identification of susceptibility genes could contribute to improved treatments. READ MORE

5. 3. Stress Management Interventions and Predictors of Long-term Health : Prospectively Controlled Studies on Long-term Pain Patients and a Healthy Sample from IT- and Media Companies

   Author : Dan Hasson; Ulla Maria Anderberg; Töres Theorell; Ulf Lundberg; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : This thesis reports on the effects of stress management on long-term pain patients and on a healthy sample from IT and media companies; two groups that are commonly exposed to high stress levels. Even if there are important differences between these two groups, there are similarities such as the necessity for effective stress management. READ MORE

6. 4. Spinal Cord Processing of Sensory Information: Spatial Organization and Adaptive Mechanisms

   Author : Anders Levinsson; Malmö Diagnostisk radiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; transplantatioin; pain; sensorimotor; plasticity; reflex; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

   Abstract : Principles for sensorimotor transformation and plasticity in the spinal cord and functional repair in the root-avulsed spinal cord were studied. A comparative study confirmed that the nociceptive withdrawal reflex (NWR) system is composed of reflex modules, with each performing a finely tuned transformation of skin sensory input to activity in one muscle.

7. 5. Mapping genetic diseases in northern Sweden

   Author : Elisabet Einarsdottir; Dan Holmberg; Gösta Holmgren; Ulf Gyllensten; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; isolated populations; linkage disequilibrium; linkage analysis; genome-wide scan; hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy; type 1 diabetes mellitus; type 2 diabetes mellitus; autoimmune thyroid disease; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

   Abstract : The population of northern Sweden has previously been shown to be well suited for the mapping of monogenic diseases. In this thesis we have tested the hypothesis that this population could also be used for efficient identification of risk genes for common diseases. READ MORE
