  2. 1. Effects of Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Ketogenic Diet on Quality of Life and Changes in EEG and Sleep

    Author : Tove Hallböök; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vagus nerve stimulation; neuropsykologi; Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; behaviour; attention; ketogenic diet; delta power; slow wave sleep; REM; mood; sleep; quality of life; EEG; seizure frequency; spike detection; children; neurofysiologi; Pediatri; epilepsy; Pediatrics;

    Abstract : When anti-epileptic drugs fail, and epilepsy surgery is found unfeasible or ineffective, there remains a group of at least 25% of children with epilepsy in whom seizure control cannot be achieved. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive treatment for medically refractory epilepsy. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies on PCSK9 in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism

    Author : Lena Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : aging;

    Abstract : Elevated levels of plasma cholesterol, mainly in low density lipoproteins (LDL), are a major risk factor for coronary heart disease. The level of plasma LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) is largely dependent on the number of hepatic LDL receptors (LDLRs). READ MORE

  5. 3. The impact of macronutritional composition and ketosis on cognitive health : from normal aging to Alzheimer’s disease

    Author : Jakob Norgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ketogenic diets (KD) are increasingly investigated for the prevention of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Without explicitly investigating a KD, this thesis disentangles two of its hallmarks: a reduced dietary carbohydrate/fat-ratio (CFr) and the metabolic state ketosis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Modifying Ion Channel Voltage Gating

    Author : Sara Börjesson; Fredrik Elinder; Klaus Benndorf; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Voltage-gated ion channels play fundamental roles in neuronal excitability and therefore dysfunctional channels can cause disease. Epilepsy is such a disease, affecting about 1% of the population and being characterized by synchronous electric activity of large groups of neurons leading to various types of seizures. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies on cholesterol and bile acid metabolism in relation to plasma lipoproteins

    Author : Beatrice Sjöberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The metabolism of cholesterol and bile acids is tightly controlled but only partially characterized. The liver is responsible for most of the clearance and catabolism of plasma cholesterol, and the hepatocyte expression of LDL receptors is central in this process. READ MORE
