  1. 1. Transcriptional basis of Huntington’s Disease: Gene expression analysis indicate increased immune responses in the brain and mitochondrial dysfunction in adipose tissues of HD model mouse

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Intisar Salim; [2023]
    Keywords : Huntington’s Disease; mRNA-seq; tissue specific gene expression; cerebrospinal fluid; biomarker; Huntingtons sjukdom; mRNA-seq; vävnadsspecifik genexpression; cerebrospinalvätska; biomarkör;

    Abstract : Huntingtons sjukdom (HD) är ett neurodegenerativt tillstånd som orsakas av mutationer i huntingtin gen (Htt), och resulterar till upprepade glutamin (polyQ) i Htt-proteinet. Muterad Htt kan inte vika sig ordentligt och börjar därför aggregera i celler. READ MORE

  3. 2. Comparison of In Vivo Intramuscular Fat Quantification Techniques in MRI

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Pien Derikx; [2023]
    Keywords : Fat-water separation; Dixon technique; Intramuscular fat quantification;

    Abstract : People with cerebral palsy (CP) may develop muscle contractures, which are defined as a loss of joint range due to an increase in passive muscle stiffness [1]. Computer models suggest that intramuscular fat can increase muscle stiffness [2]. READ MORE

  4. 3. Magnetic Resonance Elastography in Muscle Tissue based on Anisotropic Assumption

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Frederick Holmer Fann; [2022]
    Keywords : Magnetic Resonance Elastography MRE ; Muscle Tissue; Anisotropic MRE reconstruction;

    Abstract : Mechanical properties of muscle tissue are linked to its function. Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) has the capability toquantitively measure these mechanical properties of soft tissue in-vivo. However, most MRE methods assume tissue isotropy during MRE reconstruction which is not an appropriate assumption for muscle tissue. READ MORE

  5. 4. High density EMG based estimation of lower limb muscle characteristics using feature extraction

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Balázs Szabó; [2021]
    Keywords : HD-EMG; feature extraction; lower limb; muscle characteristics;

    Abstract : Electromyography (EMG) is a common tool in electrical muscle activity measurement and can be used in multiple areas of clinical and biomedical applications, mainly in identifying neuromuscular diseases, analyzing movement or in human machine interfaces. Traditionally a pair of electrodes were used to measure the signals, but in recent years the use of high density surface EMG (HD-sEMG) gained more popularity as it can sample myoelectric activities from multiple electrodes in an array on a single muscle and provide more information.

  6. 5. 3D Freehand Ultrasonography in Quantifying Muscle Morphological Parameters in Lower Extremity

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Ruoyu Huang; [2021]
    Keywords : 3D freehand ultrasonography; muscle structure; fascicle length; pennation angle;

    Abstract : Muscle morphological parameters such as fascicle length (FL), pennationangle (PA) and physiologic cross-sectional area (PCSA) can provide an insightinto the reasons of the deteriorated muscle functions caused by pathologies.This study investigates the 3D structure of the lower leg muscles using 3Dfreehand ultrasound (3DfUS).
