  2. 1. Percutaneous Balloon Compression for the Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia

    Author : Pär Asplund; A. Tommy Bergenheim; Patric Blomstedt; Marc Sindou; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; trigeminal neuralgia; multiple sclerosis; surgery; percutaneous balloon compression; percutaneous retrogasserian glycerol rhizolysis; neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

    Abstract : Background. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a paroxysmal unilateral facial pain condition. That it is rather rare is of little comfort to those who are affected, as TN is often described as one of the worst pains known to mankind. Advanced age and multiple sclerosis (MS) are risk factors for developing TN. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of the Biology of Intrathecal Treatment in Progressive MS

    Author : Joakim Bergman; Anders Svenningsson; A. Tommy Bergenheim; Jonathan D. Gilthorpe; Joachim Burman; Magnus Andersson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Progressive Multiple Sclerosis; intrathecal treatment; Ommaya reservoir; anti-CD20 therapy; microdialysis; cerebrospinal fluid; CNS compartments; Progressiv Multipel Skleros; intratekal behandling; Ommaya reservoar; anti-CD20 terapi; mikrodialys; ryggmärgsvätska; sektioner i centrala nervsystemet; Neurology; neurologi;

    Abstract : Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease, affecting the central nervous system (CNS). About 85% of afflicted present with a relapsing-remitting form of the disease (RRMS), for which a breakthrough in treatment was made in 2008 with rituximab, an antibody directed towards CD20, a surface antigen on B-cells.

  5. 3. In Search of Prognostic Factors in Grade 2 Gliomas

    Author : Dan Ribom; Tommy Bergenheim; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; low-grade glioma; positron emission tomography; platelet-derived growth factor receptor; mass spectrometry; alpha 2-HS glycoprotein; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Abstract : Grade 2 gliomas are malignant brain tumours affecting otherwise healthy adults. Although the long-term prognosis is poor, many patients are well and may have a high quality of life for several years. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cognitive function, quality of life and functional brain networks : before and after glioma surgery

    Author : Mattias Stålnacke; Rickard L. Sjöberg; Tommy Bergenheim; Johan Eriksson; Kenneth Hugdahl; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate how cognitive function and quality of life are affected by glioma surgery in the supplementary motor area (SMA) and the lower primary motor cortex (M1), as well as to explore possible changes in functional network connectivity after surgery in the SMA.Sixteen patients subject to resective neurosurgical procedures due to gliomas in either the SMA or the M1 were studied.

  7. 5. Stereotactic microdialysis for metabolic assessment and experimental treatment of malignant glioma

    Author : Pedram Tabatabaei; A. Tommy Bergenheim; Mikael Johansson; Maria Zetterling; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Brain microdialysis; Glioblastoma multiforme; Malignant glioma; Retrograde microdialysis; Glucose metabolism; Radiotherapy; Chemotherapy; Cytokine.; neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma multiforme, the most common primary brain tumor, has a dire prognosis despite multimodal treatments that include surgery and radio-chemotherapy. To improve the outcome of this destructive disease, we need to improve our understanding of its tumor biology. READ MORE
