1. Pharmacotherapy for Parkinson's Disease - Observations and Innovations
Sammanfattning : Pharmacotherapy for Parkinson’s disease (PD) is based on levodopa, the most effective dopaminergic drug. The development of motor complications constitutes the major challenge for new or refined therapies. LÄS MER
2. Automating levodopa dosing schedules for Parkinson’s disease
Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Levodopa is mainly used to manage the motor symptoms of PD. However, disease progression and long-term use of levodopa cause reduced medication efficacy and side effects. When that happens, precise individualized dosing schedules are required. LÄS MER
3. New Approaches for Levodopa Treatment in Parkinson’s Disease
Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by degeneration of dopaminergic cells, which results in dopamine depletion. Levodopa is the most effective symptomatic treatment, however, disease progression along with the unfavorable pharmacokinetics of levodopa makes the disease increasingly difficult to treat with time.

4. Risk Factors for Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Children
Sammanfattning : Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening acute complication of diabetes. It is preventable if timely administration of sufficient amounts of insulin is initiated. A large proportion of children are affected by DKA annually, especially at onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D).

5. Assessment of cerebrospinal fluid system dynamics : novel infusion protocol, mathematical modelling and parameter estimation for hydrocephalus investigations
Sammanfattning : Patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) have a disturbance in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) system. The treatment is neurosurgical – a shunt is placed in the CSF system. The infusion test is used to assess CSF system dynamics and to aid in the selection of patients that will benefit from shunt surgery. LÄS MER
