4. 2. Transcatheter Arterial Embolization in the Management of Life Threatening Bleeding Applied in Upper Gastrointestinal and Post Partum Bleedings

   Author : Lars-Gunnar Eriksson; Rickard Nyman; Sven Gustavsson; Krasnodar Ivancev; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Radiology; Post partum hemorrhage; Upper peptic ulcer bleeding; Transcatheter arterial embolization; Endoscopic treatment; Endoscopic marking; Metallic clip; Radiologisk forskning;

   Abstract : Transcatheter Arterial Embolization (TAE) is a method in which a catheter is inserted into an artery under fluoroscopy guidance. By using material that creates a thrombus, inserted through the catheter, the artery can be occluded and the bleeding stopped. READ MORE

Catheter abla-tion (CA) is an option in highly symptomatic patients but is less effective in long-standing persistent AF(LSPAF). READ MORE

7. 5. Hydrocephalus in children. Epidemiology and outcome

   Author : Eva-Karin Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Prevalence; Epidemiology; Hydrocephalus; MMC; Treatment; Outcome;

   Abstract : Aims: To analyse trends in the live-birth prevalence of infantile hydrocephalus and hydrocephalus associated with myelomeningocele (MMC) during the period 1989-2002 and to study the outcome in terms of learning disability, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and visual deficits. Another objective was to explore motor function and disability profiles in various aetiological and gestational-age subgroups and to see whether treatment complications and neuroradiological findings correlate with outcome.
