  2. 11. Experimental vitreoretinal surgery in the rabbit eye - electrophysiology and morphology

    Author : Karin Gjörloff; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oftalmologi; Ophtalmology; retinectomy; GFAP; PKC; rabbit; vitrectomy; focal laser photocoagulation; full-field electroretinography; multifocal electroretinography;

    Abstract : The field of vitreoretinal surgery has expanded greatly over the last decades. A continuous refinement of surgical methods and instruments has increased the number of treatable retinal disorders. Vitrectomy, retinectomy and laser treatment are all part of the modern surgical arsenal. READ MORE

  4. 12. Modeling PDGF-driven gliomagenesis in the mouse

    Author : Inga Nazarenko; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Gliomas are the most common form of brain tumors, with glioblastoma being the most aggressive form. Glioblastoma is characterized by a number of genetic aberrations, among them amplification and overexpression of platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) that sometimes occurs together with inactivating mutations or loss of the tumor suppressor p53 (TP53).

  5. 13. PDGF in cerebellar development and tumorigenesis

    Author : Johanna Andræ; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; cerebellum; medulloblastoma; PDGF; GFAP; transgenic mice; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Pathology; patologi;

    Abstract : Medulloblastoma is a highly malignant cerebellar childhood tumor. As in many other brain tumors, expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and its receptors has been shown in medulloblastoma. READ MORE

  6. 14. Assessment of the Cerebral Ischemic/Reperfusion Injury after Cardiac Arrest

    Author : Erik Mörtberg; Sten Rubertsson; Eldar Søreide; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Intensive care; Intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care; Anestesiologi och intensivvård;

    Abstract : The cerebral damage after cardiac arrest is thought to arise both from the ischemia during the cardiac arrest but also during reperfusion. It is the degree of cerebral damage which determines the outcome in patients. This thesis focuses on the cerebral damage after cardiac arrest. READ MORE

  7. 15. Diagnosis and monitoring of sport-related concussion

    Author : Sanna Neselius; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; traumatic brain injury; mild traumatic brain injury; sport-related concussion; concussion;

    Abstract : Background: Concussions are one of the most common sport-related injuries and it is known that they cause axonal and glial damage, and that there are risks for long-term effects. The aims of this thesis were to find possible methods, which may help clinicians to diagnose and monitor mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), analyse the APOEε4 allele genotype that has been associated with poor outcome after TBI and evaluate the relationship between neuropsychological assessment and brain injury biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
