   Abstract : Traumatic injuries to the spinal cord and brachial plexus induce a significant inflammatory response in the nervous tissue with progressive degeneration of neurons and glial cells, and cause considerable physical and mental suffering in affected patients. This thesis investigates the effects of the antioxidants N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and acetyl-L- carnitine (ALC) on the survival of motoneurons in the brainstem and spinal cord, the expression of pro-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory cell markers, axonal sprouting and glial cell reactions after spinal hemisection in adult rats.

   Abstract : Aims: The overall aim of these studies were to investigate the influence of different kinds of treatment of the obstetrical brachial plexus lesion, and to study functioning and participation in adolescents with OBPP. Methods: Study 1 involved 247 children with obstetrical brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) of different severity, some of whom had been operated on, with nerve reconstruction being carried out during the first year of life, and with others not having been operated on.
