    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intraepidermal nerve fibre; health-related quality of life; Carpal tunnel syndrome; diabetes mellitus; myelinated nerve fibre; nerve biopsy; nerve conduction study; skin biopsy.;

    Abstract : Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy in the upper extremity. Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing CTS from an estimated prevalence of 2-4% in the general population to 15-30% in diabetics. READ MORE

  4. 2. Peripheral polyneuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance. Correlations between morphology, neurophysiology, and clinical findings

    Abstract : Histopathologic examination of tissue biopsies is the current gold standard for the diagnosis of dermatological problems. Similarly, in oncology, sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is the state-of-the-art diagnostic method for me- tastasis screening. READ MORE

  7. 5. Skin sensitivity testing : a biophysical approach

    Author : Miruna Nyren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The skin is regarded as the largest organ of the body, although it is only a few millimetres thick; it is also the interface between the environment and the body's vital structures. Its large surface area is constantly exposed to physical factors, allergens, irritants and infectious agents. READ MORE
