  2. 1. Diving and the brain

    Author : Anders Rosén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; biomarkers; brain; central nervous system; decompression sickness; dive research; diving; neuronal damage; saturation diving; tau protein; venous gas embolism; neurofilament light; glial fibrillary acid protein; tau; VGE;

    Abstract : Abstract Introduction There are reports that long-term diving is associated with cognitive impairments. This raises the question if diving itself is harmful to the brain in the absence of decompression sickness or hypoxia. READ MORE

  4. 2. Role of intermediate filaments and expression of GFAP and S-100 in astrocytes

    Author : Mei Ding; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Astrocytes; Gliosis; Kainic acid; Transgenic mouse; S-100; GFAP; Vimentin; RVD regulatory volume decrease ; Taurine; Glutamine; Ascorbate; Glucose;

    Abstract : Astrocytes participate in a variety of important physiologic and pathologic processes in the central nervous system (CNS). One of the most remarkable characteristics of astrocytes is their vigorous response to CNS injuries. READ MORE

  5. 3. Disorders of the cerebral white matter in children

    Author : Ragnhildur Kristjánsdóttir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; leukoencephalopathy - children - neurological impairments - magnetic resonance imaging - ophthalmology - visual evoked potentials - cerebrospinal fluid - sulfatide - glial fibrillary acidic protein - gangliosides - neurofilament - tau protein - monoamine metabolites;

    Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to describe the clinical spectrum in a large group of children characterised as having an abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal from cerebral white matter (WM) and to study the radiological, clinical and ophthalmological features in that subgroup where aetiology was unknown. We also wanted to look at biochemical markers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to elucidate pathological processes which were responsible for the WM abnormalities. READ MORE

  6. 4. On age related changes in axons and glia of the central nervous system

    Author : Susanna Kullberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Aging; synaptic input; spinal cord; hippocampus; amino acid neurotransmitters; astrocyte; microglia; oligodendroglia; C bouton; cholinergic; monoaminergic; cytokine;

    Abstract : A growing body of evidence shows that phenotypic changes including axon aberrations, rather than loss of neurons, account for behavioral impairments during aging. The present thesis was undertaken to investigate the occurrence of axon aberrations in relation to transmitter identity, glial reaction and sensorimotor disturbances. READ MORE

  7. 5. Ocular function and morphology in humans and rabbits exposed to vigabatrin medication

    Author : Ulrika Kjellström; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vimentin; PKC-alpha; visual field defects; optical coherence tomography; full-field electroretinography; GABA; vigabatrin;

    Abstract : Vigabatrin is an antiepileptic drug that is known to cause visual field defects and retinal dysfunction measured by full-field electroretinography (ff-ERG). Underlying mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. READ MORE
