  2. 1. Central projections of sensory innervation of cranial vessels

    Author : Yi Liu; Lund Medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurologi; Spinothalamic; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neural tracing; trigeminal nerve; Headache; Cranial vessel; Brainstem; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : Primary headaches (e.g. migraine and cluster headache), the symptoms of which is associated with cranial vascular activity, is likely to be dependent on a primary central nervous system dysfunction. READ MORE

  4. 2. Skull base meningioma : Surgical and adjuvant treatment with clinical and PET evaluation

    Author : Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Meningioma; cerebellopontine angle; translabyrinthine and transcochlear approaches; facial nerve; steretactic irradiation; proton beam therapy; interferon- alpha; PET; 11C-L-methionine; 76BR-BrdU; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : The treatment strategy for skull base meningiomas remains a controversial issue. Because of the proximity of these tumours to critical neurovascular structures, the risk for vascular damage and new cranial neuropathies postoperatively is significant. READ MORE

  5. 3. Intracranial facial nerve lesion : experimental study on neural degeneration and its treatment

    Author : Per Mattsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to develop an experimental model that would generate extensive motor neuronal degeneration in adult rats, and furthermore to study mechanisms causing nerve cell death and effects of putative neuroprotective compounds. The facial nerve was chosen because it is well characterized and allows evaluation of functional recovery by analyzing vibrissae movements. READ MORE

  6. 4. The effects of neurotrophic substances on primary sensory neurons following peripheral nerve injury

    Author : Petri Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : DRG; dorsal horn; NGF; BDNF; NT-3; substance P; calcitonin gene-related peptide; fluoride-resistant acid phosphatase; carbonic anhydrase; microglia; astroglia;

    Abstract : Sensory impulses from the periphery is transmitted by primary sensory neurons located in dorsal root and cranial nerve ganglia. The primary sensory neurons are phenotypically diverse with regard to their expression of various chemical components. READ MORE

  7. 5. Peripheral neuropathy in Lyme borreliosis

    Author : Eva Kindstrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Lyme borreliosis; neuroborreliosis; acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans; peripheral neuropathy; cranial neuropathy;

    Abstract : Tick-transmitted Lyme borreliosis (LB) is frequently associated with manifestations from the peripheral nervous system. One aim of the thesis was to describe the relationship between peripheral neuropathy and LB by prospective studies of a) LB in some defined neurological conditions with peripheral nerve engagement and b) peripheral neuropathy in the late dermatological LB manifestation acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA).
