2. 1. Comorbidity and complications in neurological diseases

   Author : Heléne E.K. Sundelin; Jonas F. Ludvigsson; Henrik Larsson; Rodney Scott; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antiepileptic drugs; autism; cerebral palsy; child; Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome; epilepsy; obstetric; pregnancy; traffic accidents;

   Abstract : Background: Neurological diseases are complex and many share etiology as well as comorbidities. Epilepsy, a brain disorder characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), are considered to be associated, but the connection is still not fully uncovered.

4. 2. Cerebral palsy in Mulago hospital, Uganda : comorbidity, diagnosis and cultural adaptation of an assessment tool

   Author : Angelina Kakooza-Mwesige; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Cerebral palsy;

   Abstract : Background and aim: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common form of chronic motor disability that begins in early childhood and persists throughout life. The clinical features, including motor function, comorbidities and nutritional status, have not been investigated in Uganda. READ MORE

5. 3. Upper limb function in children with cerebral palsy : range of motion, botulinum neurotoxin A and accelerometry metrics

   Author : Jenny Hedberg Graff; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of movement disorders in children and may result in diverse levels of severity of the disability, from very mild to very severe. The underlying neurological pathology in CP is by definition not progressive, but motor symptoms may cause permanent and progressive secondary movement complications, which often change over time.

6. 4. Hydrocephalus in children. Epidemiology and outcome

   Author : Eva-Karin Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Prevalence; Epidemiology; Hydrocephalus; MMC; Treatment; Outcome;

   Abstract : Aims: To analyse trends in the live-birth prevalence of infantile hydrocephalus and hydrocephalus associated with myelomeningocele (MMC) during the period 1989-2002 and to study the outcome in terms of learning disability, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and visual deficits. Another objective was to explore motor function and disability profiles in various aetiological and gestational-age subgroups and to see whether treatment complications and neuroradiological findings correlate with outcome.

7. 5. Characterization of immune cell profiles in meninges and brain parenchyma following injury in the developing mouse brain

   Author : Aura Zelco; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; preterm brain injury; hypoxia-ischemia; immune response; neonatal meninges;

   Abstract : Preterm newborns are particularly susceptible to complications such as hypoxia-ischemia (HI), which can result in brain injury and subsequent cognitive and/or motor function disabilities, including cerebral palsy. Immune cells have been shown to be involved in the development of perinatal brain damage, commonly with detrimental effects. READ MORE
