    Abstract : Chronic pain affects 20 % of the global population, causes suffering, is difficult to treat, and constitutes a large economic burden for society. So far, the characterization of molecular mechanisms of chronic pain-like behaviors in animal models has not translated into effective treatments. READ MORE

  5. 18. Advances for Biomarker Discovery in Neuroproteomics using Mass Spectrometry : From Method Development to Clinical Application

    Author : Marcus O.D. Sjödin; Magnus Wetterhall; Jonas Bergquist; Dominic M. Desiderio; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mass Spectrometry; Biomarker; Proteomics; Central Nervous System; Cerebrospinal Fluid; Traumatic Brain Injury; Cloud-Point Extraction; Neuroproteomics; Relative Quantification; Spinal Cord Stimulation; Neuropathic Pain; Analytical Chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

    Abstract : Proteins offer a prominent group of compounds which may be ubiquitously affected in disease and used as biomarkers for early diagnosis, assessing treatment or drug development. Clinical proteomics aim to screen for protein biomarkers by a comprehensive analysis of all proteins expressed in a biological matrix during a certain pathology. READ MORE

  6. 19. Porcine myocardial ischemia-reperfusion studies on cardioprotection, ventricular arrhythmia and electrophysiology

    Author : Jacob Odenstedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : porcine; myocardial ischemia; ventricular arrhythmia; sudden cardiac death; electrophysiology; vectorcardiography; endocardial mapping; spinal cord stimulation;

    Abstract : Background: Coronary artery disease is the primary cause of death in adults in the industrialised world and ventricular fibrillation associated with myocardial ischemia is the main cause of sudden cardiac death. Restoration of blood flow and preservation of myocardial integrity throughout ischemia and reperfusion is essential to improve clinical outcome. READ MORE

  7. 20. Cell therapy for spinal cord injury, studies of motor and sensory systems

    Author : Christoph Hofstetter; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Nervous system; spinal cord injury; pseudorabies virus; axonal tracing; functional MRI; stereology; Rho-kinases; transplantation; stem cells; neurogenin2; allodynia;

    Abstract : Spinal cord injury represents a significant medical concern, affecting thousands of individuals each year. The majority of victims are young males harmed by traffic accidents, violence, and falls. Severe spinal cord injury interupts nerve fiber pathways connecting the brain and the rest of the body.
