  2. 1. Impact of Tissue Characteristics on Radio-Frequency Lesioning and Navigation in the Brain : Simulation, experimental and clinical studies

    Author : Johannes Johansson; Karin Wårdell; Hans von Holst; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Brain; Radio frequency ablation; Finite element method; Monte Carlo simulation; light reflectance; Radiological research; Radiologisk forskning;

    Abstract : Radio-Frequency (RF) lesioning, or RF ablation, is a method that uses high frequency currents for thermal coagulation of pathological tissue or signal pathways. The current is delivered from an electrode, which also contains a temperature sensor permitting control of the current at a desired target temperature. In the brain, RF lesioning can e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biomimetic Transition Metal Catalysts : Insights from Theoretical Modeling

    Author : Adam Johannes Johansson; Per E. M. Siegbahn; Margareta R. A. Blomberg; Per-Ola Norrby; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Catalysis; biomimetic; copper; non-heme iron; heme iron; O2 cleavage; H-atom transfer; radical chemistry; redox chemistry; thermo chemistry; entropy calculations; quantum chemistry; spin states; density functional theory DFT ; self-interaction error SIE .; Chemical physics; Kemisk fysik; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

    Abstract : The scientific interest in the chemistry of synthetic transition metal complexes is motivated by at least two arguments:1.These can be regarded as models of biological transition metal complexes, e.g. metalloenzymes, whose functions can be difficult to reveal in detail due to their complexity.

  6. 4. Models and Simulations of the Electric Field in Deep Brain Stimulation : Comparison of Lead Designs, Operating Modes and Tissue Conductivity

    Author : Fabiola Alonso; Karin Wårdell; Simone Hemm; Johannes D Johansson; Fernando Seoane; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established surgical therapy for movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). A thin electrode is implanted in a predefined area of the brain with the use of stereotactic neurosurgery. READ MORE

  7. 5. GABA-, glycine- and glutamate-induced currents in rat medial preoptic neurons : functional interactions and modulation by capsaicin

    Author : Urban Karlsson; Staffan Johansson; Johannes Krupp; Bryndis Birnir; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; medial preoptic nucleus; synaptic transmission; glutamate; GABA; glycine; TRPV1; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : The medial preoptic nucleus (MPN) of the hypothalamus plays a major role in many functions involved in maintaining bodily homeostasis, such as thermoregulation and osmoregulation, as well as in the control of complex behaviours, e.g. sexual behaviour. READ MORE
