2. 1. Secondary Insults in Neurointensive Care of Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury

   Author : Kristin Elf; Per Enblad; Pelle Nilsson; Elisabeth Ronne-Engström; Bertil Romner; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Traumatic brain injury; Neurointensive care; Monitoring; Secondary insults; Intracranial pressure; Cerebral perfusion pressure; Pressure reactivity; Temperature; Neural network; Outcome; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi;

   Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability. Intracranial secondary insults (e.g. intracranial haematoma, brain oedema) and systemic secondary insults (e. READ MORE

4. 2. Intracranial Compliance and Secondary Brain Damage. Experimental and Clinical Studies in Traumatic Head Injury

   Author : Konstantin Salci; Per Enblad; Pelle Nilsson; Peter Hutchinsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Neurosciences; Traumatic brain injury; Intracranial compliance; Secondary insults; Microdialysis; Neurointensive care; Neurovetenskap;

   Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) renders the brain more vulnerable to secondary insults. The increased vulnerability can probably be explained by a combination of disturbances in hemodynamics, metabolism and craniospinal dynamics. Reduced ability to compensate for added intracranial volume, i.e. READ MORE

5. 3. Traumatic brain injury in elderly patients

   Author : Samuel Lenell; Per Enblad; Anders Lewén; Alfonso Lagares; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Traumatic brain injury; Elderly; Outcome; Standardized neurosurgical intensive care; Quality register; Prognostic factors; Secondary insults; Neurointensive care monitoring; Pressure reactivity index; Optimal cerebral perfusion pressure; Cerebral autoregulation; Neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

   Abstract : The increase of elderly traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients constitutes a considerable challenge. The aim was therefore to specifically study elderly TBI patients with respect to patient characteristics, neurointensive care (NIC) and outcome, and to identify age specific features, which may be important for selection of patients and optimization of NIC in the elderly.

6. 4. Ovarian response to vascular and toxic insults in early life : focus on ovarian reserve and fertility preservation

   Author : Valentina Pampanini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The ovarian reserve is defined as the number of eggs embodied in primordial follicles. Every woman is born with a fixed number of primordial follicles, which are formed during fetal development. Pathological events can affect the ovarian reserve both preand postnatally and cause a premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), i.e. READ MORE

7. 5. Verbal abuse in school : constructing gender and age in social interaction

   Author : Miriam A Eliasson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : verbal abuse; gender; age; sexuality; students; insults; masculinity; femininity; well-being; school;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to describe and analyze gender and age patterns of verbal abuse among students, and how it is used in identity construction by girls and boys in social interaction in school. Two sets of data were used: a school-based survey (study I) and an observation and interview-based qualitative study (studies II-IV). READ MORE
