  1. 1. Experimental Studies on the Vasculature of Endogenous and Transplanted Islets of Langerhans

    Författare :Göran Mattsson; Leif Jansson; Alberto Hayek; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; islets of Langerhans; endothelial cells; islet transplantation; vascular density; diabetes mellitus; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : The blood vessels of the pancreatic islets are of crucial importance for oxygen and metabolite supply as well as dispersal of secreted hormones. In addition to this, endothelial cells have an important role in the revascularization process after islet transplantation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Capsulotomy in anxiety disorders

    Författare :Christian Rück; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :obsessive-compulsive disorder; anxiety disorders; psychosurgery; internal capsule; prefrontal cortex; neuropsychology; personality inventory; bioethics; neurosurgery;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aim: Anxiety disorders are common and a substantial proportion of patients do not respond to conventional treatments such as SSRIs or CBT. Capsulotomy is a neurosurgical treatment for treatment refractory patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other anxiety disorders. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Deep brain stimulation in obsessive-compulsive disorder

    Författare :Matilda Naesström; Owe Bodlund; Patric Blomstedt; Johan Eriksson; Lotta M. J. Strömsten; Ellinor Salander Renberg; Keith Matthews; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; deep brain stimulation DBS ; obsessive-compulsive disorder OCD ; psykiatri; Psychiatry;

    Sammanfattning : Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is under investigation for severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) resistant to other therapies. As a crucial part of the anxiety circuit in the brain, the bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST) has been proposed as a target for DBS in OCD. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Stereotactic imaging in functional neurosurgery

    Författare :Hidehiro Hirabayashi; Patric Blomstedt; Takaomi Taira; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Deep brain stimulation; pallidotomy; thalamotomy; Parkinson s disease; essential tremor; CT; MRI; neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The birth of stereotactic functional neurosurgery in 1947 was to a great extent dependent on the development of ventriculography. The last decades have witnessed a renaissance of functional stereotactic neurosurgery in the treatment of patients with movement disorders. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Biodegradable gelatin microcarriers in tissue engineering : In vitro studies on cartilage and bone

    Författare :Sofia Pettersson; Gunnar Kratz; Pentti Tengvall; Jonas Wetterö; Julie Gold; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines cells, biomaterial scaffolds and environmental factors to achieve functional tissue repair. This thesis focuses on the use of macroporous gelatin microcarriers as scaffolds in tissue engineering applications, with a special focus on cartilage and bone formation by human adult cells in vitro.
