  1. 11. Plasticity and Inflammation following Traumatic Brain Injury

    Författare :Anders Hånell; Niklas Marklund; Lars Hillered; Nikolaus Plesnila; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Traumatic Brain Injury; plasticity; inflammation; Nogo receptor; EphA4; IL-1β; Neurosurgery; Neurokirurgi; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) mainly affects young persons in traffic accidents and the elderly in fall accidents. Improvements in the clinical management have significantly improved the outcome following TBI but survivors still suffer from depression, memory problems, personality changes, epilepsy and fatigue.

  3. 12. Assessment of experimental neurotrauma

    Författare :Ying-Lai Huang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Impulse noise; diffuse brain injury; focal brain injury; closed head injury; NSE; S-100; GFAP; apoptosis; astrocytosis; glutamate; c-JUN; rotational acceleration; CSF;

    Sammanfattning : Model systems of closed head injury are designed to replicate aspects of traumatic brain injury, ischemia and epilepsy in man. The aim of this thesis was to (1) develop sensitive systems enabling analyses of the biochemical reactions, as reflected by leakage of marker compounds to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF); and (2) develop and assess a new model for closed head injury and associated dynamic changes in the brain cell.

  4. 13. Brain injury biomechanics in closed-head impact : studies on injury epidemiology, tolerance criteria, biomechanics and traffic injury prevention

    Författare :David Viano; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Closed-head impact; brain injury; biomechanics; injury mechanisms; tolerance criteria; epidemiology; and primary prevention.;

    Sammanfattning : Permanent disability from traumatic brain injury is a devastating consequence of traffic crashes. Injury prevention is a fruitful approach to reduce the incidence and severity of disabling brain injury. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Mechanisms of traumatic brain injury in the rat : Morphological consequences and neurotrophic responses

    Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability in the Western world. especially in young people. Understanding the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury is the basis for further development of better therapeutic strategies for such patients. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Genetics in experimental traumatic brain injury

    Författare :Faiez Al Nimer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability in the young population in the industrialized world. It comprises a heterogeneous group of brain pathologies where head trauma initiates a series of complex molecular pathways, which, together with the initial injury, account for the final outcome.
