Brain mechanisms for skin stroking processing in healthy subjects and anorexia nervosa patients
(2016-12-01)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allows us to study brain processing of inputs from sensory neurons both at the level of single brain areas but also at the level of larger brain networks. In this thesis we ... -
Health in connection with takotsubo syndrome. Experiences, symptoms and utilization of health care
(2016-12-05)Health is subjective, involves the whole person and cannot be determined by others. It is not merely the absence of disease and illness but a resource in life. Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is a form of acute, reversible heart ... -
Effects of growth hormone in the hippocampus and cortex of adult rodents
(2016-12-07)Background and Aims: Growth hormone (GH) affects proliferation, regeneration and specific plasticity in the adult brain. We aimed to investigate new mechanisms of local and circulating GH in the brain, and to explore the ... -
Molecular insights into mitochondrial transcription and its role in DNA replication
(2016-12-07)The mitochondrion is an organelle of the eukaryotic cell responsible for the production of most of the cellular energy-carrying molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. The ... -
Long-term outcomes of epilepsy surgery - prospective studies regarding seizures, employment and quality of life
(2016-12-09)Epilepsy surgery is a treatment option for selected patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Patients need individual pre-surgical counselling on chances of seizure freedom and other outcomes in a long-term perspective. The ... -
Regulatory T cells and lymphocyte migration into intestinal tumors
(2016-12-13)Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) are crucial for anti-tumor immunity. However, regulatory T cells (Treg) often accumulate in tumor tissue and are able to reduce both lymphocyte activity and transendothelial migration ... -
Nicotine sensitization and the effects of extended withdrawal - behavioral, neurochemical and electrophysiological studies in the rat
(2016-12-14)Tobacco use is one of the primary factors for global burden of disease and often results in life-long nicotine addiction, only a small percentage users are able to maintain cessation. The life-long addiction together with ... -
Optimization of image acquisition parameters in chest tomosynthesis - Experimental studies on pulmonary nodule assessment and perceived image quality
(2016-12-14)Chest tomosynthesis refers to the technique of acquiring a number of discrete projection images within a limited angular range around the patient. These projection images are then used to reconstruct section images of the ... -
Lutetium-177-octreotate treatment of small intestine neu-roendocrine tumors - Radiation biology as basis for optimization
(2016-12-19)Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) often have metastatic spread at the time of diagnosis. NETs frequently express somatostatin receptors (SSTR) that can be targeted by radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (e.g. ... -
