  2. 6. Psychosocial factors and immune parameters during cancer chemotherapy

    Author : Mats Lekander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : chemotherapy; side-effects; anticipatory symptom; conditioning; anxiety; psychoneuroimmunology; relaxation; social support.;

    Abstract : Cancer patients are exposed to side-effects during chemotherapy, such as nausea and vomiting elicited by drug administration, or in anticipation of treatment. Chemotherapy also results in bone marrow suppression. READ MORE

  4. 7. Response of human skeletal muscle to chronic and acute exercise and ischemia : muscle dimensions, tissue water and blood flow as measured by magnetic resonance imaging and comparative methods

    Author : Anders T Nygren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Bloodflow; cross-sectional area; exercise; fiber area; Gd-DTPA; glycogen; human; hypotrophy; intermittent claudication; ischemia; magnetic resonance imaging; metabolism; perfusion; reflex sympathetic activity skeletal muscle; training; transverse relaxation; ultrasonography.;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the response of human skeletal muscle to exercise, training and ischemi and to evaluate if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be used to measure regional muscle cross-sectional area, muscle perfusion and detect muscle ischemia in patients with intermittent claudication. For this purpose studies were performed on 29 healthy young volunteers and 7 patients with intermittent claudication. READ MORE

  5. 8. Algebraic Reconstruction Methods

    Author : Touraj Nikazad; Tommy Elfving; Constantin Popa; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; iterative methods; image reconstruction; ART; Cimmino; Kaczmarz; Landweber; sequential iteration; simultaneous iteration; block iteration; semi-convergence; relaxation parameters; stopping rules; discrepancy principle; Numerical analysis; Numerisk analys;

    Abstract : Ill-posed sets of linear equations typically arise when discretizing certain types of integral transforms. A well known example is image reconstruction, which can be modeled using the Radon transform. After expanding the solution into a finite series of basis functions a large, sparse and ill-conditioned linear system occurs. READ MORE

  6. 9. Rehabilitation of adults with asthma : A quantitative and qualitative study

    Author : Margareta Emtner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Bronchial asthma; rehabilitation; exercise therapy; physical therapy; patient education; exercise-induced asthma; patient compliance; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Abstract : The general aim of this study was to evaluate the objective and subjective effects of a comprehensive rehabilitation program for adult asthmatic patients. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was used. READ MORE

  7. 10. Acute and early chronic responses to resistance exercise using flywheel or weights

    Author : Lena Norrbrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Weight training typically offers constant external load during coupled shortening (concentric) and lengthening (eccentric) muscle actions in sets of consecutive repetitions until failure. However, skeletal muscle inherently has the capability to produce greater force in the eccentric compared with the concentric action, which allows for greater loading during the eccentric action, i.
