  2. 1. Towards new tools for clinical evaluation and visualization of tumor growth in patients with glioma

    Author : Kenney Roy Roodakker; Anja Smits; Anne-Marie Landtblom; Elna-Marie Larsson; Jan J. Heimans; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : PROX1; Histology; MRI; PET; Epilepsy; Co-registration; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Abstract : Gliomas are derived from glial cells and are the most common type of primary brain tumors in adults. Gliomas are classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) according to their malignancy grade and histological and molecular features. Malignancy grades range from I to IV. WHO grade I tumors are benign tumors, mostly occurring in childhood. READ MORE

  4. 2. Towards Novel Biomarkers for Low-grade Glioma

    Author : Shala Ghaderi Berntsson; Anja Smits; Peter Siesjö; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Low-grade glioma; prognosis; epilepsy; PROX1; DNA repair enzyme; PET; Physiological MRI; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Gliomas are common primary brain tumours that occur as low-grade (LGG) and high-grade gliomas (HGG). Typically occurring in younger adults, LGG has an indolent course with a median survival of 5-10 years, but carries an inherent potential for transforming into HGG. READ MORE

  5. 3. Epidemiological, clinical anf pathogenetic studies of acute intermittent porphyria

    Author : Ingemar Bylesjö; Christer Andersson; Pertti Mustajoki; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Medicine; Acute intermittent porphyria; epilepsy; melatonin; diabetes mellitus; white-matter lesions; symptoms; Medicin; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : Porphyrias are inherited metabolic disorders characterised by an impairment of heme biosynthesis. Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is the most common of the acute porphyrias in Sweden. Acute attacks of AIP are characterised by neuro-psychiatric symptoms, including epileptic seizures. READ MORE

  6. 4. Adenosine receptors in the immature brain : with special reference to their role in hypoxic ischemia

    Author : Ulrika Ådén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Newborn; neonatal; caffeine; theophylline; hypoxia-ischemia; adenosine; immature;

    Abstract : Although the newborn brain tolerates a much longer period of oxygen deprivation and ischemia than does the adult brain, perinatal hypoxic ischemia probably is an important cause of neurological dysfunction, cerebral palsy and epilepsy later in life. Hence it is important to investigate the mechanisms that modulate the extent of perinatal ischemic brain damage. READ MORE
