  1. 21. Thromboembolism following orthopaedic surgery : outcome and diagnostic procedures after prophylaxis in lower limb injuries

    Författare :Lasse Lapidus; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Orthopaedic surgery; deep vein thrombosis DVT ; pulmonary embolism PE ; colour duplex sonography; phlebography; fracture surgery; Achilles tendon rupture.;

    Sammanfattning : Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) frequently occur after major orthopaedic surgery. The clinical assessment of DVT and PE is unreliable and most cases are asymptomatic. However, even in asymptomatic DVTs, the risk for a PE is considerable. LÄS MER

  3. 22. EPILEPSY AND CHILDHOOD AUTISM - with special reference to neuropsychiatric aspects on surgical interventions for medically intractable epilepsy

    Författare :Susanna Danielsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :epilepsy; autism; epilepsy surgery; psychopathology; VNS; treatment outcome; children; cognition;

    Sammanfattning : Epilepsy is much more common in individuals with autism than in the general population. The extent to which epilepsy influences the outcome of autism is poorly understood. Many children with medically intractable epilepsy have neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. LÄS MER

  4. 23. White matter pathology in normal pressure hydrocephalus and subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy. Clinical, CSF and MRI aspects

    Författare :Mats Tullberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Normal pressure hydrocephalus; Subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy; MRI; White matter changes; Cerebrospinal fluid; Sulfatide; Neurofilament protein;

    Sammanfattning : Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy (SAE) are common causes of gait disturbance, cognitive impairment and urinary incontinence in the elderly. In spite of a primarily different pathogenesis with a potentially reversible CSF dynamic disturbance in NPH and an irreversible microangiopathy in SAE, patients with NPH and SAE can present with similar symptoms and exhibit white matter changes that are difficult to distinguish, constituting a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.

  5. 24. Modifications of cardiovascular response to ischemia and trauma

    Författare :Fausto Labruto; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Ischemia; trauma; cardiovascular function; preconditioning;

    Sammanfattning : Ischemia and trauma are two clinical problems characterized by a common response: inflammation and potentially deleterious effects on the organism. Surgery is a form of trauma, and the most advanced surgical operations, including open heart surgery, aortic surgery, and organ transplantation, cause trauma and ischemia of the cardiovascular system.

  7. 25. Mechanisms of thrombosis and restenosis after vascular injury

    Författare :Carl Magnus Wahlgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Restenosis; neointimal hyperplasia; thrombin inhibition; angioplasty; PTA; outcome analysis; coagulation; inflammation; CRP; thioredoxin; oxidative stres;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of about 50% of all deaths in the western world. Peripheral vascular disease commonly affects the arteries supplying the leg and is mostly caused by atherosclerosis. LÄS MER
