    Keywords : albumin; beta-2-microglobulin; blood brain barrier; cerebrospinal fluid; infammation; spinal anesthesia; stress;

    Abstract : Abstract Objective: To study changes in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins, monoamine metabolites and hormones during non-neurological surgery. Subjects and methods: Thirty-five patients without neurological or psychiatric disorders undergoing knee replacements had CSF and serum samples drawn from spinal and arterial catheters before, three hours after and on the morning after surgery.

  4. 17. On the cerebrospinal fluid disposition and neurobiological role of cholecystokinin in man

    Author : Tove Gunnarsson; Conny Nordin; Erik Widerlöv; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Cholecystokinin (CCK) is the most abundant neuropeptide in the brain, where it acts as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. The tetrapeptide CCK-4 and the octapeptide CCK-8 have been implicated in various behavioural and physiological functions, such as anxiety, pain and satiety. READ MORE

  5. 18. Neurobiological markers for personality, inflammation and stress: A naturalistic study in knee arthroplastic patients

    Author : Sara Bromander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; personality; cytokine; aggression; inflammation; impulsivity; inslulin; blood-brain barrier;

    Abstract : Background: Psychiatry has strived to identify biomarkers elucidating the underlying biological mechanisms behind different disorders, to help in diagnostics and to assess treatment effects. In forensic psychiatric populations, findings have connected levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) monoamine metabolites and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity with impulsivity and aggression.

  6. 19. Structural and functional properties of transthyretin

    Author : Anders Karlsson; A. Elisabeth Sauer-Eriksson; Salam Al-Karadaghi; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transthyretin; Amyloidosis; X-ray crystallography; Protein structure; Protein; Structural biology; Strukturbiologi;

    Abstract : The hereditary transthyretin (TTR) amyloidoses are rare, and in severe cases, fatal disorders caused by mutations in the TTR gene. The clinical picture is diverse, involving neuropathies and myopathies, and mainly depends on the causative mutation and the sites and rates of amyloid deposition. READ MORE

  7. 20. Myasthenia gravis : clinical aspects and possible involvement of prolactin

    Author : Natalia Tsinzerling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : myasthenia gravis; prolactin; immune regulation; thymic pathology; thymoma; immunosuppressive treatment;

    Abstract : Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the production of antibodies against the skeletal muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR). MG is usually associated with thymic disorders including thymoma (about 10%) and lymphofollicular hyperplasia (HPL) (up to 80%). READ MORE
