  2. 11. On biomarkers in traumatic brain injury

    Author : Eric Thelin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of death and disability. Unfortunately, TBI patients will be affected by secondary insults, such as hypoxia and increased intracranial pressure, which may lead to secondary brain injuries. READ MORE

  4. 12. Checkpoint inhibitor-induced adverse events in the CNS - T-cell characteristics and biomarkers

    Author : Sara Bjursten; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Melanoma; Immune checkpoint inhibition; Immune related adverse events to the CNS; T cells;

    Abstract : Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) activate T cells to kill cancer cells by blocking inhibitory receptors PD-1 (nivolumab; nivo) or CTLA-4 (ipilimumab; ipi). Activated T cells can also attack any healthy organ, causing unpredictable immune related adverse events (irAE). The risk of irAE is highest when treating with ipi and nivo simultaneously. READ MORE
