  1. 11. Wearable sensors for monitoring epilepsy and Parkinson´s disease

    Författare :Dongni Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epilepsy; Parkinson’s disease; Wearable sensors; Continuous and objective monitoring; End users’ perceptions; Qualitative content analysis; Machine learning algorithms; Tonic-clonic seizure detection; Dose titration; Motor state recognition;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are conditions where management would benefit greatly from monitoring symptoms over longer time periods in natural everyday environments instead of only intermittent assessments at clinics. Wearable technology with built-in sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, could allow continuous and objective long-term monitoring of movement patterns. LÄS MER

  3. 12. ACT Treatment of Epilepsy : Time for a behavioral model?

    Författare :Tobias Lundgren; JoAnne Dahl; Per Carlbring; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : The present dissertation contributes to the understanding of behavioral treatment of epilepsy and supports the integration of medical and behavioral science to develop a treatment model to help those who suffer from drug refractory epilepsy. There is a lack of well-designed randomized controlled trials evaluating behavioral therapy for epilepsy. LÄS MER

  4. 13. A pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of an antiepileptic drug (lamotrigine) in young patients with drug-resistant generalized epilepsy

    Författare :Ann-Sofie Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :High-performance liquid chromatography; Antiepileptic drugs; Therapeutic drug monitoring; Lamotrigine; Carbamazepine; Epilepsy; Children; Lennox-Gastaut; Efficacy; CSF; [gamma]aminobuturic acid; Glutamate; Aspartate; Glycine; EEG;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of the present study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of lamotrigine in young patients with drug-resistant generalised epilepsy. This group of patients is difficult to study due to a high seizure frequency, comorbidity and the frequent use of polytherapy. LÄS MER

  5. 14. 11C Molecular Imaging in Focal Epilepsy

    Författare :Torsten Danfors; Eva Kumlien; Jens Sörensen; Elisabeth Ronne-Engström; Juha Rinne; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; positron emission tomography; methionine; NK1; substance p; flumazenil; deprenyl; pk11195; phosphoimager; autoradiography; TBI; traumatic brain injury; iron chloride; ferrous chloride; Neurology; Neurologi; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Epilepsy is a common neurological disease affecting 6 million people in Europe. Early prevention and accurate diagnosis and treatment are of importance to obtain seizure freedom. In this thesis new applications of carbon-11-labelled tracers in PET and autoradiographic studies were explored in focal epilepsy. LÄS MER

  7. 15. 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
