  2. 21. Adult Neural Stem Cells-Influence of Stroke, Inflammation and Aging

    Author : Henrik Ahlenius; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; inflammation; Neural stem cells; adult; neurogenesis; stroke; aging; TNF-R1; TNF-α;

    Abstract : Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the embryo generate neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, the principal cells of the central nervous system (CNS), which contribute to the full diversity of the brain. Some NSCs persist in the adult brain and ensures neurogenesis throughout adult life in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and the subgranular zone (SGZ). READ MORE

  4. 22. Stroke in geriatric patients - Aspects of depression, cognition and motor activity

    Author : Berit Agrell; Geriatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; laterality; rating scales; motoractivity; aphasia; neglect; disability; depression; cognition; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : Six depression rating scales, GDS, Zung, CES-D, CPRS-D and Cornell, were compared in 40 patients. The validity was good for all scales except for the Cornell scale. A comprehensive investigation was done in 116 elderly stroke patients. There was no difference in prevalence and severity of post-stroke depression in relation to side of lesion. READ MORE

  5. 23. Neural Stem Cells - interaction with the brain and prospects for cell replacement therapy for Stroke

    Author : Emanuela Monni; Neural stamcellsbiologi och terapi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neural stem cells; human; fetus; cortex; striatum; stroke; transplantation; inflammation; fusion; reprogramming; chimera; heterokaryon;

    Abstract : Stroke is an acute neurological condition and the leading cause of disability in adult humans. Treatments for efficient recovery are not available. The most common form of stroke results from the occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, which causes loss of brain parenchyma and many types of neurons as well as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.

  6. 24. Aphasia in acute stroke

    Author : Ann Charlotte Laska; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Acute stroke; aphasia; atrial fibrillation; depression; drug treatment; prognosis; speech and language therapy;

    Abstract : Aphasia is a language impairment due to a brain lesion, usually in the left hemisphere, and is a common symptom in acute stroke. The aims of this thesis were to evaluate aphasia in acute stroke patients, to assess spontaneous language recovery, to evaluate the test instruments, to evaluate the efficacy of drug treatment, and speech and language therapy for recovery of aphasia, and to assess the possibility to reliable identify depression in aphasic patients.

  7. 25. Pericytes in Hypoxia and Ischemic Stroke

    Author : Andreas Enström; Translationell Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pericytes; Ischemic stroke; Hypoxia; Secretome; Transcriptome; RGS5;

    Abstract : Molecular oxygen is essential for most living species. Consequently, hypoxic or ischemic conditions are major cellular stressors and prominent pathological features in ischemic stroke. Stroke is a global health problem and remains the second leading cause of death or disability worldwide. READ MORE
