    Author : Maggie Yeung Wong; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Many cells have a shorter life span than the organism itself and are continuously being replaced. However, for many cell types in the human body it is still largely unknown whether they turn over at all once development is complete. READ MORE

  5. 13. Postural adjustments in sitting position : effect of development, training and brain lesions

    Author : Eva Brogren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : postural adjustments; development; training; cerebral palsy; preterm birth; brain lesions;

    Abstract : The aim of the present study was to investigate the development of postural adjustments, and how this development could be affected by daily training and early brain lesions. To this end postural adjustments were assessed by means of multiple surface EMGs of neck, trunk and leg muscles and kinematics in various well documented groups of children. READ MORE

  7. 15. Pathophysiology of intrauterine asphyxia

    Author : Anna-Karin Welin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : asphyxia; ECG; endotoxemia; fetal sheep; inflammation; melatonin; periventricular leukomalacia; preterm;

    Abstract : Background: The premature infant is at increased risk of cerebral white matter damage, oftenreferred to as periventricular leucomalacia, PVL, which is associated with later developmentof cerebral palsy and cognitive impairment. The etiology of PVL remains unclear, but ischemia-reperfusion followed by generation of free radicals and intrauterine infections havebeen suggested to play an important role. READ MORE
