1. Impairment of intra-oral sensation, discrimination ability, and swallowing function following radiotherapy and surgery for oral and pharyngeal cancer
Abstract : Oral and pharyngeal cancer is commonly treated with a combination of radiotherapy and surgery. It is a clinical knowledge that patients often experience severe swallowing disorders following treatment. Since surgical sequelae are instantaneous and obvious, little attention has been paid to other concurrent effects of the treatment. READ MORE

2. Effects of cold and hand-arm vibration on the peripheral neurosensory and vascular system : an occupational perspective
Abstract : Background In Swedish working life, exposure to cold and exposure to hand-arm vibration (HAV) are two common health hazards. Health effects of HAV in the neurosensory, vascular and musculoskeletal systems are collectively denoted hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), and have been thoroughly studied. READ MORE

3. Diabetic neuropathy clinical and experimental studies
Abstract : A classification of impaired thermal sensibility is proposed, reflecting the severity of diabetic polyneuropathy in terms of its regional extension. The classification may be a useful tool in cross-sectional and long-term studies of patients with diabetes mellitus. READ MORE

4. Idiopathic scoliosis : radiographic, neurophysiologic and psychologic aspects
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to study brace treatment outcome, the brace effect on electromyographic muscle responses and self image, possible occurrence of somatosensory dysfunction and the descriptive power of surface topography contra radiography, in idiopathic scoliosis. There were 64 patients in a retrospective 4. READ MORE

5. Pain influences somatosensory perception : an experimental and clinical study
Abstract : The underlying mechanisms maintaining long-term pain localised to musculoskeletal structures and joints are not infrequently unknown. In routine clinical work with such patients insufficient attention has been paid to phenomena indicating altered excitability of the central nervous system (CNS). READ MORE
