2. 1. The opioid peptide dynorphin A : Biophysical studies of peptide–receptor and peptide–membrane interactions

   Author : Johannes Björnerås; Lena Mäler; Astrid Gräslund; Scott Prosser; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dynorphin A; opioid receptor; neuropeptide; bicelles; NMR; diffusion; decomposition; Biophysics; biofysik;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis concerns the opioid peptide dynorphin A (DynA). DynA functions primarily as a neurotransmitter and belongs to the family of typical opioid peptides. These peptides are a part of the opioid system, together with the opioid receptors, a family of GPCR membrane proteins. READ MORE

4. 2. Electroencephalography for neurological prognostication after cardiac arrest

   Author : Erik Westhall; Klinisk neurofysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; EEG; Interrater variability; Brain injury; Cardiac arrest; Hypothermia; Prognosis; Outcome;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the prognostic value of electroencephalography(EEG) in comatose patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest (CA), using both simplified continuous EEG monitoring (cEEG) and routine EEG. Background: Comatose survivors are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) to support vital functions. READ MORE

5. 3. Targeting apoptosis-inducing factor as a novel therapeutic strategy for preventing perinatal brain injury

   Author : Juan Rodriguez; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AIF; neonatal; mouse; hypoxia-ischemia; AIF CypA complex; apoptosis; asphyxia; CHCHD4;

   Abstract : Perinatal complications such as asphyxia can cause brain injuries that are often associated with subsequent neurological deficits. The mechanisms of perinatal brain injury are not fully understood, but mitochondria play a prominent role, not only due to their central function in metabolism, but also because many proteins with apoptosisrelated functions are located in the mitochondrion.

6. 4. Bipolar disorder in rural Ethiopia : community-based studies in Butajira for screening, epidemiology, follow-up, and the burden of care

   Author : Alemayehu Negash; Jayanti Chotai; Hans Ågren; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Butajira; bipolar 1 disorder; screening; epidemiology; neurological soft signs; burden of care; Psychiatry; Psykiatri; psykiatri; Psychiatry;

   Abstract : Background: The challenges of research in economically stunted countries’ settings remains a profound concern and is linked to socioeconomic development of these countries. More research is needed regarding psychiatric morbidity in rural areas of the developing and poverty stricken countries. READ MORE
