2. 1. Acute and chronic peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis: neurogenic inflammation and citrate treatment

   Author : Nicola Cavallini; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : peritoneal dialysis; inflammation; citrate;

   Abstract : The prevalent problems associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) are ultrafiltration failure and peritonitis. During PD the patient is sustained on a state of intraperitoneal inflammation, which over time impairs structure, and function of the peritoneal membrane, leading to loss of ultrafiltration efficacy.

4. 2. Neurogenic and inflammatory response in the rodent brain following stroke

   Author : Ursula Heldmann; Lund Neurologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; inflammation; Mac-1-saporin; TNF-a; Neurogenesis; Microglia; stroke; aging;

   Abstract : Stroke and in this case cerebral infarction affects 20 million people each year and five million of them die. In Sweden 30-35000 people will be affected and one of three of them will be severely disabled. In addition, one of six will suffer a new stroke within six years. READ MORE

5. 3. Bilateral neurogenic mechanisms following acute unilateral inflammation

   Author : Indre Bileviciute-Ljungar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : bilateral changes; host defence reaction; contralateral treatment; dorsal root reflexes; cross-spinal reflexes; substance P; neurokinin A; calcitonin gene-related peptide; neuropeptide Y; nociception; inflammation; carrageenan; edema; hindpaw withdrawal latency; microdialysis; hot-plate test; Randall Selitto test;

   Abstract : The contribution of neurogenic mechanisms to inflammation has been extensively studied during the last decade, but provides no clear understanding of the bilateral changes commonly seen following unilateral stimulation. This work demonstrates that bilateral neurogenic mechanisms are a part of general host defence reactions following acute unilateral challenge, for the first time revealing that local anaesthetics applied contralaterally, might be used for therapeutic purposes in relieving pain and inflammation.

6. 4. Endogenous activators of the pain receptor TRPV1 From cell to man

   Author : Pouya Movahed Rad; Avdelningen för klinisk kemi och farmakologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; cannabinoids; capsazepine; N-acylethanolamines; anandamide; blood Circulation; vasodilation; humans; calcitonin Gene-related Peptide; capsaicin; neurogenic inflammation; nociceptors; TRPV1 protein; pain;

   Abstract : N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) belong to a growing family of endogenous signalling molecules acting on a variety of receptors and ion channels. In 1992, it was reported that the N-acylethanolamine anandamide is present in the brain and activates the central cannabinoid (CB) receptor. READ MORE

7. 5. Sampling from a suction induced mini-erosion in human skin. Methodological studies

   Author : Christer Svedman; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vascular permeability; neurogenic inflammation; glucose; diabetes mellitus; interstitial fluid; transdermal; skin; sampling; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Medicin människa och djur ;

   Abstract : Dermal interstitial fluid (IF) was extracted serially and painlessly by brief suction for as long as 6 days. The erosion was otherwise kept occluded, Sample volumes exceded those required for measuring a wide range of biological substances. Epidermal regeneration was rapid. READ MORE
