16. Neurological consequences of cardiac arrest
Sammanfattning : An out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a life-threatening event with very high early mortality. More than 50% of the patients who reach the emergency ward die, showing clinical signs of brain damage during the first weeks after admission. Survivors may suffer from post-ischemic encephalopathy, which influences their future lives. LÄS MER

18. White matter pathology in normal pressure hydrocephalus and subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy. Clinical, CSF and MRI aspects
Sammanfattning : Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy (SAE) are common causes of gait disturbance, cognitive impairment and urinary incontinence in the elderly. In spite of a primarily different pathogenesis with a potentially reversible CSF dynamic disturbance in NPH and an irreversible microangiopathy in SAE, patients with NPH and SAE can present with similar symptoms and exhibit white matter changes that are difficult to distinguish, constituting a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.

19. Disorders of the cerebral white matter in children
Sammanfattning : The aims of this thesis were to describe the clinical spectrum in a large group of children characterised as having an abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal from cerebral white matter (WM) and to study the radiological, clinical and ophthalmological features in that subgroup where aetiology was unknown. We also wanted to look at biochemical markers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to elucidate pathological processes which were responsible for the WM abnormalities. LÄS MER
20. Neurofilaments as biomarkers of neuronal damage
Sammanfattning : Different neurodegenerative diseases have overlapping symptomatology and pathology and have thus become a challenge to modern medicine to achieve a correct diagnosis. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the use of neurofilaments as biomarkers of neuronal damage by testing their ability to discriminate between different neurodegenerative diseases as well as assessing whether higher neurofilments predict a poorer clinical outcome in ischemic stroke.
