  2. 11. 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.

  4. 12. Alcohol Consumption among Adolescents : Psychosocial and Genetic influences

    Author : Erika Comasco; Kent W. Nilsson; Lars Oreland; Rainer Spanagel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : adolescents; alcohol; biomarkers; depression; drinking motives; FAEE; gene environment interaction; interview; OPRM1; PER2; PEth; questionnaire; sleep; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : The present thesis is based on four studies focusing on alcohol consumption among Swedish adolescents, and therewith related psychosocial and genetic factors. One main objective was to study the reasons for drinking alcohol among different population - representative samples of adolescents in order to identify motives for drinking. READ MORE

  5. 13. Neuronal Development in the Embryonic Retina : Focus on the Characterization, Generation and Development of Horizontal Cell Subtypes

    Author : Per-Henrik Edqvist; Finn Hallböök; Steven McLoon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Neurosciences; Activin; Chick; Follistatin; Interneuron; Isl1; Lim1; Migration; Neurogenesis; Prox1; Transcription factor; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Horizontal cells are retinal interneurons that modulate the output from photoreceptors. Two horizontal cell (HC) subtypes are commonly identified in the vertebrate retina: axon-bearing and axon-less HCs. READ MORE

  6. 14. Transmethylation, Polyamines and Apoptosis in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

    Author : Titti Ekegren; Håkan Askmark; Cecilia Gomes-Trolin; Sten-Magnus Aquilonius; Christopher Fowler; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; neurodegeneration; transmethylation; polyamine; apoptosis; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a relentlessly progressive disorder characterized by degeneration of motor neurons in the cortex, brainstem and spinal cord. The patients usually die within 3-5 years after onset. The full etiology of ALS is unknown and many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the neurodegeneration. READ MORE

  7. 15. Functional consequences of dopaminergic degeneration : Clinical and experimental studies using a novel stabilizer of dopaminergic systems

    Author : Anna Ekesbo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Parkinson s disease; positron emission tomography; 6-OHDA; MPTP; dyskinesia; dopaminergic degeneration; - -OSU6162; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Abstract : Since the introduction of levodopa for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) 30 yearsago, the emergence of motor complications, such as levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LID), hasbeen a major clinical problem in advanced stages of the disease. Clinical and preclinical studieshave revealed a number of functional changes in the dopaminergic system that may be ofimportance for the emergence of LIDs. READ MORE
