Effects of electrode size and placement on comfort and efficiency during low-intensity neuromuscular electrical stimulation of quadriceps, hamstrings and gluteal muscles
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-08-22)Background: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) may prevent muscle atrophy, accelerate rehabilitation and enhance blood circulation. Yet, one major drawback is that patient compliance is impeded by the discomfort ... -
Lung-function trajectories : relevance and implementation in clinical practice
(Inst för klinisk forskning och utbildning, Södersjukhuset / Dept of Clinical Science and Education, Södersjukhuset, 2024-08-09)Lung development starts in utero and continues during childhood through to adolescence, reaching its peak in early adulthood. This growth is followed by gradual decline due to physiological lung ageing. Lung-function ... -
Wearable neuromuscular electrical stimulation on quadriceps muscle can increase venous flow
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) of the quadriceps (Q) may increase venous blood flow to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism. This study assessed whether Q-NMES pants could increase peak venous velocity ... -
Residual substance P levels after capsaicin treatment correlate with tendon repair
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)The aim of the study was to assess healing after capsaicin-induced SP depletion during rat Achilles tendon repair by biomechanical testing. Capsaicin treatment reduced the concentrations of substance P (SP) by ~60% ... -
Prolonged immobilization compromises up-regulation of repair genes after tendon rupture in a rat model
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)It was hypothesized that mobilization versus immobilization after injury would promote tissue healing by regulating gene expression for molecules associated with repair. Cast immobilization versus free mobilization was ... -
High plantar force loading after Achilles tendon rupture repair with early functional mobilization
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)Background: Mechanical loading is essential for tendon healing and may explain variability in patient outcomes after Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) repair. However, there is no consensus regarding the optimal postoperative ... -
Knee extensor force production and discomfort during neuromuscular electrical stimulation of quadriceps with and without gluteal muscle co-stimulation
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)Purpose: To investigate whether Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) simultaneously applied on the quadriceps (Q) and gluteal (G) muscles, as compared to single Q-stimulation alters the knee extensor force production ... -
The effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on the human skeletal muscle transcriptome
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)Aim: The influence on acute skeletal muscle transcriptomics of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), as compared to established exercises, is poorly understood. We aimed to investigate the effects on global ... -
Protein intake and healthy aging : sooner rather than later?

Standardization of antigen-emulsion preparations for the induction of autoimmune disease models
(Inst för medicinsk biokemi och biofysik / Dept of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2024-02-09)Autoimmune murine disease models are vital tools for identifying novel targets and finding better treatments for human diseases. Complete Freund's adjuvant is commonly used to induce disease in autoimmune models, and the ... -
Antigen-presenting autoreactive B cells activate regulatory T cells and suppress autoimmune arthritis in mice
(Inst för medicinsk biokemi och biofysik / Dept of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2024-02-08)B cells undergo several rounds of selection to eliminate potentially pathogenic autoreactive clones, but in contrast to T cells, evidence of positive selection of autoreactive B cells remains moot. Using unique tetramers, ... -
Therapy targeting antigen-specific T cells by a peptide-based tolerizing vaccine against autoimmune arthritis
(Inst för medicinsk biokemi och biofysik / Dept of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2024-02-08)A longstanding goal has been to find an antigen-specific preventive therapy, i.e., a vaccine, for autoimmune diseases. It has been difficult to find safe ways to steer the targeting of natural regulatory antigen. Here, we ... -
Being prevented from providing good care : a conceptual analysis of moral stress among health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic
(Inst för global folkhälsa / Dept of Global Public Health, 2024-01-31)Background Health care workers (HCWs) are susceptible to moral stress and distress when they are faced with morally challenging situations where it is difficult to act in line with their moral standards. In times of crisis, ... -
Reduced variability of bursting activity during working memory
(Inst för klinisk neurovetenskap / Dept of Clinical Neuroscience, 2024-01-30)Working memories have long been thought to be maintained by persistent spiking. However, mounting evidence from multiple-electrode recording (and single-trial analyses) shows that the underlying spiking is better characterized ... -
Working memory control dynamics follow principles of spatial computing
(Inst för klinisk neurovetenskap / Dept of Clinical Neuroscience, 2024-01-30)Working memory (WM) allows us to remember and selectively control a limited set of items. Neural evidence suggests it is achieved by interactions between bursts of beta and gamma oscillations. However, it is not clear how ... -
Moral stress among Swedish health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic : a cross-sectional study
(Inst för global folkhälsa / Dept of Global Public Health, 2023-12-21)Aims: This study quantifies to what extent Health care workers (HCWs) experienced moral stress and to what extent their experiences of moral stress were related to gender and age as well as to working directly with COVID-19 ... -
Dealing with difficult choices : a qualitative study of experiences and consequences of moral challenges among disaster healthcare responders
(Inst för global folkhälsa / Dept of Global Public Health, 2023-12-21)Background: Disasters are chaotic events with healthcare needs that overwhelm available capacities.
