Defense-related inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity: Insights from neuroimaging and monozygotic twins on related cortical processes and clinical potential
(2021-05-27)
This thesis investigates a physiological phenomenon observed in the peripheral sympathetic nervous system in response to various stressors and tries to bring it closer to clinical research. Sudden surprising stimulation ...
Targeting apoptosis-inducing factor as a novel therapeutic strategy for preventing perinatal brain injury
(2020-01-07)
Perinatal complications such as asphyxia can cause brain injuries that are often associated with subsequent neurological deficits. The mechanisms of perinatal brain injury are not fully understood, but mitochondria play a ...
Pituitary Tumor Surgery - factors influencing outcome
(2021-05-05)
Background: Pituitary tumors represent 15–20% of intracranial tumors. The majority are
benign adenomas, of which 30 % are hormonally inactive, the non-functioning pituitary
adenomas (NFPAs). A possible neuronal damage ...
Characterization of secretory mechanisms in lacrimal and salivary glands
(2021-03-25)
Dry mouth and dry eyes are multifactorial morbidities that can lead to a severely reduced quality of life. Approximately 20% of the population suffers from ocular or oral dryness. In the pursuit of pharmacological treatments ...
Hearing in early old age: current perspectives
(2021-02-08)
Age related hearing loss is a public health concern that restricts the possibilities of older persons to lead a healthy, social and active life. The present thesis aims to provide contemporary perspectives on age related ...
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in Children and Young Adults with an emphasis on ophthalmology
(2021-02-26)
Introduction: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are a group of disorders caused by prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). The most severe and most studied FASD condition is fetal alcohol syndrome. Other conditions include ...
Functional studies of purinergic and cholinergic interactions in the rat urinary bladder - Characterization of ATP-evoked urothelial release of acetylcholine
(2020-03-26)
Functional interplays between different transmitter systems are known to affect the signalling of the micturition reflex arc. The functional implications of many of these interactions, such as between ATP and acetylcholine, ...
Characterization of immune cell profiles in meninges and brain parenchyma following injury in the developing mouse brain
(2021-02-04)
Preterm newborns are particularly susceptible to complications such as hypoxia-ischemia (HI), which can result in brain injury and subsequent cognitive and/or motor function disabilities, including cerebral palsy. Immune ...
Postural balance, anxiety and motor function after stroke, at a very early supported discharge with continued rehabilitation
(2020-10-23)
The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate postural balance, anxiety and motor function the first year after stroke and whether postural balance, anxiety and motor function was different at the intervention of Very ...
Shedding light on cognitive control
(2020-05-18)
This thesis aimed to investigate the ability to adjust cognitive processes and behavior, i.e., cognitive control, and its related functional activity in the cortex. The optical imaging technique functional near-infrared ...
