2. 21. Evolution and Pharmacology of Receptors for Bradykinin and Neuropeptide Y in Vertebrates

   Author : Torun Bromée; dan larhammar; Nina Mohell; Samuel Svensson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Pharmacology; Evolution; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi;

   Abstract : The bradykinin and neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors belong to the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). The GPCRs form the largest class of therapeutic targets and it is therefore of great interest to investigate the pharmacological properties, functions and evolution of these receptors. READ MORE

4. 22. Hormonal Regulation of Neural Stem Cell Proliferation and Fate Determination

   Author : Karin Brännvall; Dan Lindholm; Sandra Ceccatelli; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Neural stem cell; Proliferation; Fate determination; Hormones; Anabolic androgenic steroids; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi;

   Abstract : Stem cells have the capacity for both self renewal, and to form all cell types in the body. Interestingly, so called neural stem cells (NSCs) are found in the adult human brain, which is of significance both out of a developmental perspective and from a clinical point of view. READ MORE

   Author : Christer Carlsson; Neurokirurgi; []

   Abstract : In a retrospective follow-up study, n=202, long-term pain relief (>6 months) after a course of acupuncture treatments was found mainly among patients with chronic nociceptive pain while patients with neurogenic or psychogenic pain did not benefit much. In a placebo-controlled randomised single-blind long-term study with independent observer of chronic nociceptive low back pain, n=50, it was found that acupuncture, was significantly superior to true placebo in all outcome measurements, even more than 6 months after the treatment series.

6. 24. Neurointensive care of subarachnoid hemorrhage : Clinical and neurochemical aspects

   Author : Kristina Giuliana Cesarini; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; SAH; neurointensive care; neurochemical monitoring; cerebral ischemia; microdialysis; cerebral metabolism; secondary ischemic events; clinical outcome; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurosurgery; neurokirurgi;

   Abstract : Neurointensive care (NIC) has gained terrain in the treatment of patients with various acute cerebral conditions. It is based on the concept that an unfavorable clinical outcome, to a certain extent, results from all secondary ischemic insults sustained by the brain during the acute phase of the disease.

7. 25. Delayed Cell Death after Traumatic Brain Injury : Role of Reactive Oxygen Species

   Author : Fredrik Clausen; Lars Hillered; Tiit Mathiesen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Traumatic Brain Injury; Reactive oxygen species; Fluid percussion injury; Controlled cortical impact; weight drop injury; Extracellular-signal regulated kinase; apoptosis; free radical scavenging; morphology; functional outcome; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi;

   Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability TBI survivors often suffer from severe disturbances of cognition, memory and emotions. Improving the treatment is of great importance, but as of yet no specific neuroprotective treatment has been found. READ MORE
