  2. 21. Morphological and electromyographical studies of trapezius myalgia in cleaners

    Author : Britt Larsson; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; female cleaners; Trapezius myalgia; work-related; arbetsmiljömedicin; Yrkesmedicin; industrial medicine; Occupational health; morphological analysis and surface-EMG;

    Abstract : Pathomechanisms of work-related myalgia are poorly understood. Myalgia is caused by exitation of nociceptors present in the muscular tissue but not in the muscle fibres themselves. Morphological analysis can contribute to knowledge of excitation of nociceptors. Surface EMG is a widely used method in the research field of ergonomics. READ MORE

  4. 22. Integrated Bridge Maintenance : Evaluation of a pilot project and future perspectives

    Author : Hans-Åke Mattsson; Håkan Sundquist; Jan Bröchner; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bridge management; bridge maintenance; real service life; partnering; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : The trend in many countries is to outsource maintenance with competitive tendering. The design of the tender is then a crucial issue. A new type of tendering contract, called "Integrated Bridge Maintenance", was introduced in one experimental area in Sweden. READ MORE

  5. 23. B cell subpopulations in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis

    Author : Katrin Thorarinsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; B cells; Rheumatoid arthritis; Joint destruction; DAS28; CD21- low B cells;

    Abstract : B cell depleting therapy has proven to be an effective treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPA) and the Fc portion of IgG (rheumatoid factor, RF). This demonstrates the vital role B cells play in the disease. READ MORE

  6. 24. Aerobic capacity in rheumatoid arthritis : aspects of associations with cardiovascular risk factors and disease activity

    Author : Lars Ångström; Anna Södergren; Solveig Wållberg Jonsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic and inflammatory disease that has been associated with an increased morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Low aerobic capacity is one of the strongest independent risk factors for CVD and all-cause mortality in the general population. READ MORE

  7. 25. Studies on vascular remodeling in acute coronary artery disease

    Author : Fei Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Atherosclerosis; unstable angina; matrix metalloproteinase; apoptosis; angiogenesis; remodeling;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is an arterial disease, characterized by endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, and lipid accumulation in the vessel wall. Unstable coronary syndroms may be initiated by rupture of the atherosclerotic plaque, which may be caused by activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), apoptosis and angiogenesis. READ MORE
