    Nyckelord :Placebo effect; anxiolysis; SAD; PET; TPH2 G-703T polymorphism; SSRIs; amygdala subregions; prefrontal cortex.; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : The placebo effect, a beneficial effect attributable to a treatment containing no specific properties for the condition being treated, has been demonstrated in a variety of medical conditions. This thesis includes four studies aimed at increasing our knowledge on the neurobiology of placebo. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Pharmacological therapy in obstructive sleep apnea - Methodology and interventional aspects of carbonic anhydrase modulation

    Författare :Erik Hoff; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; obstructive sleep apnea; carbonic anhydrase; endotype; drug therapy; hypoxia; hypoxia-inducible factor 1α; placebo;

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disease with potential severe short- and long-term consequences such as daytime sleepiness and cardiovascular disease. Recurrent total or partial collapse of the upper airway during sleep leads to sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxia/hypercapnia. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Bending and Mending the Neurosignature : Elicting the Relaxation Response with help of Flotation-REST ( Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique) in Patients with Stress Related Pain

    Sammanfattning : Abstract. The overarching purpose of the current thesis was to assess the long term effects of a documented treatment program involving flotation-REST for the experience of pain, from the point of view of variables connected with Melzack´s neuromatrix theory, and to examine the extent of a potential attention-placebo effect in connection with flotation-REST.

  5. 4. Methods for handling model misspecification in pharmacometric model-based approaches for the analysis of longitudinal clinical trial data

    Författare :Estelle Chasseloup; Mats Karlsson; Andrew Hooker; Karl Brendel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharmacometrics; nonlinear mixed-effects models; misspecification; type I error; power; accuracy; placebo; individual model averaging; IMA; likelihood ratio test; LRT; model averaging; covariate selection; mixture models; visual predictive checks; VPC; avatars; digital twins; virtual individual; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Pharmacometrics model-based analyses proved to be increasingly useful in drug discovery and development. This usefulness was made evident by the formalisation of the model-integrated drug discovery and development framework (MID3). LÄS MER
