  3. 27. Redefining suicidal behaviour – Rating scales and biomarkers

    Författare :Daniel Lindqvist; Lund Psykiatri; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurobiology; Suicide; attempted; Principal component analysis; Chemokines; Cytokines; Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal-Axis; Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid;

    Sammanfattning : Risk assessment of suicidal behaviour is one of the most important tasks in clinical psychiatry and a major determinant of subsequent care and treatment selections. To date, suicide risk assessment is based solely on clinical evaluations, which inevitably leads to subjective interpretations and decisions by the psychiatrist. LÄS MER

  4. 28. Effect of pharmacological treatment of serotonergic function in depression

    Författare :Aram El Khoury; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Sertonin depression; platelets; HPA-axis; intracellular calcium; lithium; SSRI NRI;

    Sammanfattning : Since its identification in raphe neurons of the central nervous system (CNS), the biogenic amine serotonin (5- hydroxytryptamin, 5-HT) has been implicated in the etiology and pathophysiology of affective disorders, such as depression. It has been proposed that enhancement of central serotonergic transmission may underlie the therapeutic response to different types of antidepressant drugs. LÄS MER

  5. 29. Studies of cytokine mediated regulation of central nervous functions : role of prostaglandins

    Författare :Monica Ek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :interleukin-1; prostaglandin E2; central nervous system; HPA axis; fever; vagus nerve;

    Sammanfattning : The communication between the immune system and the central nervous system (CNS) results in an array of centrally regulated illness responses, including fever and increased hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity. The mechanisms by which the immune system signals the brain across the blood-brain barrier have not been completely elucidated, but proinflammatory cytokines, like interleukin-1 (IL-1), are believed to act as important mediators.
