4. 2. Mitochondrial dysfunction and alterations of brain HMPAO SPECT in depressive disorder : perspectives on origins of 'somatization'

   Author : Ann Gardner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : 99mTc-d; 1-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime; clinical rating scales; hearing loss; mtDNA; muscle biopsy; PCR; single photon emission computed tomography; tinnitus; unipolar depression.;

   Abstract : A range of somatic symptoms are more common in patients with major depression than in the general population. Similar somatic symptoms and depression have been described in mitochondrial disorders, in which decreased production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is found. READ MORE

5. 3. Advances in brain SPECT : methodological and human investigations

   Author : Marco Pagani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : SPECT; 99Tcm-HMPAO; Computerised Brain Atlas; rC13F; Control Subjects; Alzheimer s Disease; Frontal Lobe Dementia;

   Abstract : The aim of this work was to optimise and validate a new approach for examination of die regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) for application in clinical research and patient care. It also involved the implementation of a software system for evaluation and analysis of rCBF. READ MORE

   Keywords : Human; tick-borne encephalitis; viral; meningo-encephalitis; cerebrospinal fluid; PCR; cytokines; immunoglobulin; SPECT; technetium-99m-HMPAO;

   Abstract : The general aim of the five studies presented in this thesis was to investigate the clinical outcome and prognosis and factors of importance for the pathogenesis of TBE compared to other aseptic meningo-encephalitis. In a prospective study 149 patients presenting with clinical symptoms of acute viral meningo-encephalitis between June 1991 and December 1993 were included. READ MORE

7. 5. Leukocyte scintigraphy, SPECT/CT and PET/CT in prosthetic joint infection

   Author : Johan Teiler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: A known complication of arthroplasty is prosthetic joint infection (PJI). It can be challenging to diagnose and treat PJI due to the formation of a biofilm protecting the bacteria in chronic infections from the innate immune system and antibiotics. READ MORE
