2. Effects of Rho kinase, prostacyclin and L-arginine on microvascular permeability and perfusion
Abstract : This thesis presents some effects of Rho kinase, prostacyclin (PGI2) and nitric oxide (NO) in relation to trauma and inflammation by evaluating their effects on microvascular perfusion and permeability in mouse brain and in cat skeletal muscle. PGI2 and NO are endogenous vasoactive substances produced by the endothelium. READ MORE

3. Mechanisms of traumatic brain injury in the rat : Morphological consequences and neurotrophic responses
Abstract : Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability in the Western world. especially in young people. Understanding the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury is the basis for further development of better therapeutic strategies for such patients. READ MORE

4. The role of reactive oxygen species in traumatic brain injury : Experimental studies in the rat
Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of mortality and disability. As common sequelae in survivors of TBI are disabling functional, emotional and cognitive disturbances, improved treatment of TBI patients is urgently needed. At present, no neuroprotective pharmacological treatment exists. READ MORE

5. Genomic clues to secondary injury mechanisms in brain trauma
Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a heterogenous disease that can lead to persistent disability or death. The immediate mechanical disruption of brain tissue is followed by a phase of secondary brain injury. During this phase TBI challenges clinical interventions due to its complexity. READ MORE
