  2. 16. Magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of chronic Achilles tendinosis

    Author : Anna Gärdin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of the thesis was to evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as an outcome in the evaluation of treatment in mid-portion Achilles tendinosis. Conventional MRI sequences, dynamic contrast enhanced MRI and measurement of transversal relaxation time, using an ultrashort time to echo sequence, has been evaluated. READ MORE

  4. 17. Perfusion MRI of the brain after radiotherapy in patients with glioblastoma – potential and problems

    Author : Markus Fahlström; Elna-Marie Larsson; Tufve Nyholm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a useful tool in diagnostic evaluation and treatment response assessment in patients with glioblastoma. The standard treatment regimen includes surgical resection, radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy. However, prognosis is poor; relative 5-year survival is 3–5%. READ MORE

  5. 18. Neuropharmacological studies of Parkinson's disease with some emphasis on serotonin transmission

    Author : Xiaoqun Zhang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by hypokinesia, rigidity, tremor, gait disturbances and depression. There is an accumulative of protein aggregates, Lewy bodies, which appear to begin in the brainstem and progress caudorostrally. READ MORE

  6. 19. Carotid stenosis: aspects on progression, stabilization and follow-up

    Author : Giuseppe Asciutto; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atherosclerosis; carotid plaque; echogenity; beta-blockers; inflammation; antibodies anti oxLDL;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular (CV) atherosclerotic diseases are the leading cause of death in Western nations. The presence of a carotid plaque, the degree of carotid stenosis as well as the rate of progression of carotid disease has been shown to be independent predictive factors for future ischemic events.

  7. 20. Magnetic resonance imaging in chronic Achilles tendinopathy

    Author : Adel Shalabi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Achilles tendon; tendinopathy; MRI; gadolinium contrast; 3-D seed growing; surgery; eccentric training.;

    Abstract : The main objective of this thesis was to evaluate and monitor the morphological response following treatment interventions in patients with chronic Achilles tendinopathy by using different MRI-techniques. For this purpose. READ MORE
