  1. 21. Studies of diaphragm fatigue and dysfunction

    Author : Peter J Radell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Diaphragm function; contractility; fatigue; oxidative metabolism; 31phosphorus nuclear magnetic spectroscopy; ultrasonography; prolonged ventilation; compound muscle action potential; myopathy; electroneurography; muscle fiber; morphology.;

    Abstract : Diaphragm fatigue and dysfunction are important components of acute and chronic respiratory pump failure. We lack knowledge about the nature of diaphragm fatigue and the pathophysiological and morphological changes that occur in the diaphragm after prolonged mechanical ventilation. This thesis studied two aspects of diaphragm function. READ MORE

  2. 22. Charcot-Marie-tooth disease : muscle morphological and neurophysiological aspects

    Author : UllaBritt Ericson-Gripenstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a common inherited disorder of the peripheral nervous system characterised by distal weakness and muscular atrophy, sensory disturbance of the distal limbs, diminished or absent deep tendon reflexes and often pes cavus. CMT is divided into two major groups based on clinical and electrophysiological findings. READ MORE

  3. 23. Quantitative EEG analysis : temporal variability and clinical applications

    Author : José Carlos Maltez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The quantification of the EEG power (qEEG) in different frequency bands, and their spatial distribution improve the sensitivity of the technique, although questions have been raised about the reproducibility of the results. The aim of the present work was to study the reproducibility of some quantitative parameters in clinical routine EEG, and their clinical application in the study of patients with type I diabetes.

  4. 24. Cryoablation of cardiac arrhythmias

    Author : Hamid Bastani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluates the safety and efficacy of cryoablation in supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. In Study I, the acute and long-term outcome of cryoablation therapy of typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) was studied in a large series of patients (n=312). READ MORE
