2. 1. Studies of biochemical brain damage markers in patients at a neurointensive care unit

   Author : Karin Nylén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : subarachnoid haemorrhage; traumatic brain injury; outcome; NFL; S100; GFAP; biochemical brain damage markers;

   Abstract : Physical examination is the basic and most important tool in medical practice. However, at a neurointensive care unit, neurological status can sometimes be difficult to evaluate due to sedation or impaired consciousness. Repeated radiology may not always be feasible. READ MORE

4. 2. Biochemical and genetic markers after subarachnoid haemorrhage

   Author : Ludvig Z Csajbok; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; subarachnoid haemorrhage; biochemical marker; genetic marker; outcome;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT Background: Subarachnoid haemorrhage is a devastating disease with high morbidity and mortality despite novel treatment options are available. There are no established methods to measure the brain damage occurring due to the bleed and its complications and to predict early neurological outcome of the disease. READ MORE

5. 3. Detection and outcome of mild traumatic brain injury in patients and sportsmen : persisting symptoms, disabilities and life satisfaction in relation to S-100B, NSE and cortisol

   Author : Britt-Marie Stålnacke; Peter Sojka; Jörgen Borg; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; traumatic brain injury; brain concussion; biochemical marker; S100 proteins; cortisol; post concussion symptoms; stress disorder posttraumatic; life satisfaction; sport; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; rehabiliteringsmedicin; Rehabilitation Medicine;

   Abstract : Traumatic brain injuries are common (hospitalization incidence: 250-300 per 100.000 inhabitants/year) and a great majority of these injuries (80-85%) are classified as mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI/concussion). Many patients with MTBI (20-80%) suffer from subsequent persistent and often disabling symptoms. READ MORE

6. 4. Neurochemical and cognitive aftermaths of surgery - studies on short- and long-term effects of surgery and anesthesia

   Author : Mattias Danielsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anesthesia; blood-brain barrier; brain amyloidosis; cardiac surgery; orthopedic surgery; inflammation; neuroinflammation; neuronal damage; cognitive decline; postoperative cognitive dysfunction;

   Abstract : Background: Each year, around the world, more than 230 million patients have surgery. Improvements in healthcare have resulted in older and sicker patients undergoing surgical interventions. As a result, surgical safety has be-come a global public-health concern. READ MORE

7. 5. On the pathophysiology of idiopathic adult hydrosephalus syndrome : energy metabolism, protein patterns, and intracranial pressure

   Author : Aina Ågren Wilsson; Per Enblad; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : hydrocephalus; biochemical markers; microdialysis; cerebrospinal fluid; B waves; brain tissue oxygen tension; Neurology; neurologi;

   Abstract : The symptoms in Idiopathic Adult Hydrocephalus Syndrome (IAHS) – gait disturbance, incontinence, and cognitive deficit – correlate anatomically to neuronal dysfunction in periventricular white matter. The pathophysiology is considered to include a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hydrodynamic disturbance, including pressure oscillations (“B waves”), in combination with cerebrovascular disease. READ MORE
