Influence of serotonin-related genes on behavior and body weight
(2008-05-06)
Rationale: The neurotransmitter serotonin has been implicated in the regulation of normal behaviors, including food intake, and attributed importance for a variety of common psychiatric conditions, including major depression, ...
Life after hip fracture - Impact of home rehabilitation versus conventional care and patients' experiences of the recovery process in a short- and long-term perspective
(2008-10-14)
Aim
In a short- and long-term perspective compare a geriatric home rehabilitation programme (HR) for patients with hip fracture with conventional care (CC), and to capture the patients experience of the consequences of ...
Astrocytic communication and cell death during metabolic depression and oxidative stress
(2008-03-19)
Stroke is a major cause of death and adult disability in the western world. Most often, stroke is caused by the occlusion of a brain artery. Within the perfusion territory of the occluded vessel, various degrees of necrotic ...
GLIAL HEMICHANNELS: A NEW ROUTE FOR CHEMICAL COMMUNICATION IN BRAIN
(2008-03-25)
The extracellular neurochemistry determines normal brain function and the faith of neurons after insults such as stroke. This thesis concerns the effect of extracellular events related to intense neuronal stimulation and ...
Non-invasive ultrasound-based cardiovascular imaging in mouse models of atherosclerosis
(2008-03-18)
Atherosclerosis is a chronic multi-factorial vascular disease. It generally requires large clinical settings and over many years to study the disease progression in man. Genetically modified mouse models of atherosclerosis ...
Metabolic and ovarian consequences of perinatal sex steroid programming
(2008-11-24)
Endocrine and metabolic disturbances in adulthood may stem from insults such as nutritional and hormonal alterations that occur at critical periods in pre- or postnatal life – a process known as programming. This means ...
Brain Regeneration - in vitro and in vivo studies of exercise-related effects on brain plasticity
(2008-06-13)
Neural stem and progenitor cells in the germinal regions of the adult brain, such as the hippocampus, are of great interest, because they provide the possibility for enhanced brain plasticity or can contribute to endogenous ...
The effect of astrocytes and reactive gliosis on neurogenesis and astrogenesis in mice
(2008-11-10)
Astrocytes are the most common cell type in mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin constitute intermediate filaments (known also as nanofilaments), a part of the ...
Corneal transplant outcome- a Swedish register
(2008-11-24)
Aim. The aim of this study was to present different aspects of the outcome after corneal
transplantation based on data from the Swedish Cornea Register.
Papers. The first paper describes the register and gives descriptive ...
Inflammation and neuroprotective strategies in the immature brain after hypoxic-ischemic brain injury
(2008-05-13)
Perinatal brain injury, as a result of hypoxia-ischemia (HI) or infection/HI, is a major cause of acute mortality and neurological morbidity in infants and children. The mechanisms of perinatal HI are not fully understood, ...
