  2. 21. Carbon dioxide, oxygen, and serum biomarkers after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

    Author : Florian Ebner; Helsingborg Kliniska Vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Carbon dioxide; oxygen; serum biomarkers; out-of-hospital cardiac arrest;

    Abstract : Cardiac arrest is the aprupt loss of cardiac function and circulation, follwed by the loss of consciousness and breathing. Most patients succumb before admission to hospital and survivors frequently suffer from anoxic-ischemic brain injury. The number of patients who survive with good neurological outcome, is low.

  4. 22. The diagnostic challenge of Parkinsonian syndromes. Clinical and laboratory evaluation

    Author : Björn Holmberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson s disease; MSA; PSP; autonomic tests; differential diagnosis; levodopa test; NFL; GFAP;

    Abstract : Background: The differentiation between Parkinson's disease (PD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) may be difficult, but it is important for prognostic and therapeutic purposes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the differential diagnostic capacity of laboratory tests in a population of patients fulfilling strict clinical criteria for these disorders. READ MORE

  5. 23. Ocular function and morphology in humans and rabbits exposed to vigabatrin medication

    Author : Ulrika Kjellström; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vimentin; PKC-alpha; visual field defects; optical coherence tomography; full-field electroretinography; GABA; vigabatrin;

    Abstract : Vigabatrin is an antiepileptic drug that is known to cause visual field defects and retinal dysfunction measured by full-field electroretinography (ff-ERG). Underlying mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. READ MORE

  6. 24. The Role of Reactive Astrocytes in Brain Ischemia and Neurotrauma

    Author : Lizhen Li; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : astrocytes; intermediate filaments; GFAP; vimentin; reactive gliosis; brain ischemia; neurotrauma;

    Abstract : Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type in the central nervous system (CNS) and increasing evidence now suggests that they play an active role in various brain functions. Astrocytes are involved in the induction and maintenance of the blood brain barrier, as well as the induction and stabilization of neuronal synapses. READ MORE

  7. 25. Directing stem cells and progenitors towards neuronal differentiation - implications for experimental therapies for Parkinson's disease

    Author : Anke Brederlau; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : stem cells; Parkinson s disease; progenitors; BMP; ASK1; dopamine;

    Abstract : The insight that stem- and progenitor-cells contribute to replacement of nerve cells in the adult central nervous system is the basis of modern therapies for structural brain repair. Their goal is to protect, support and stimulate endogenous stem cells in areas affected by disease and to replace lost cells by transplanting in vitro generated, tailored nerve cells. READ MORE
