   Författare :Torbjörn Sundström; Katrine Riklund; Rimma Danielsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; brain imaging; rCBF; SPECT; early diagnosis; brain atlas; HMPAO; Alzheimer´s disease; Whiplash; neuropsychological function; episodic memory; Diagnostic radiology; Diagnostisk radiologi;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this doctoral thesis was to study the influence of memory, pain, age and education on the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), i.e. brain function, in early Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in chronic neck pain patients in comparison to healthy controls and in healthy elderly per se.

3. 2. Mitochondrial dysfunction and alterations of brain HMPAO SPECT in depressive disorder : perspectives on origins of 'somatization'

   Författare :Ann Gardner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :99mTc-d; 1-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime; clinical rating scales; hearing loss; mtDNA; muscle biopsy; PCR; single photon emission computed tomography; tinnitus; unipolar depression.;

   Sammanfattning : A range of somatic symptoms are more common in patients with major depression than in the general population. Similar somatic symptoms and depression have been described in mitochondrial disorders, in which decreased production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is found. LÄS MER

4. 3. Advances in brain SPECT : methodological and human investigations

   Författare :Marco Pagani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :SPECT; 99Tcm-HMPAO; Computerised Brain Atlas; rC13F; Control Subjects; Alzheimer s Disease; Frontal Lobe Dementia;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this work was to optimise and validate a new approach for examination of die regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) for application in clinical research and patient care. It also involved the implementation of a software system for evaluation and analysis of rCBF. LÄS MER

5. 4. Tick-borne encephalitis : on pathogenesis and prognosis

   Författare :Göran Günther; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Human; tick-borne encephalitis; viral; meningo-encephalitis; cerebrospinal fluid; PCR; cytokines; immunoglobulin; SPECT; technetium-99m-HMPAO;

   Sammanfattning : The general aim of the five studies presented in this thesis was to investigate the clinical outcome and prognosis and factors of importance for the pathogenesis of TBE compared to other aseptic meningo-encephalitis. In a prospective study 149 patients presenting with clinical symptoms of acute viral meningo-encephalitis between June 1991 and December 1993 were included. LÄS MER

7. 5. Leukocyte scintigraphy, SPECT/CT and PET/CT in prosthetic joint infection

   Författare :Johan Teiler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: A known complication of arthroplasty is prosthetic joint infection (PJI). It can be challenging to diagnose and treat PJI due to the formation of a biofilm protecting the bacteria in chronic infections from the innate immune system and antibiotics. LÄS MER
