   Sammanfattning : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system, characterized by focal inflammatory lesions with demyelination and axonal loss. It is believed that MS is an immune-mediated disorder with both genetic and environmental contributions to the pathogenesis. LÄS MER

3. 17. Cloning and structure-activity relationship studies of neuropeptide Y family receptors belonging to the Y1 subfamily

   Sammanfattning : Neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY), and the pancreatic polypeptide (PP) belong to afamily of structurally related 36-amino-acid peptides. NPY acts as a neurotransmitter both inthe central and the peripheral nervous system and influences many functions includingfeeding, reproduction, and blood pressure while PYY and PP mainly act as hormones in thegut.

   Sammanfattning : Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease, affecting the central nervous system (CNS). About 85% of afflicted present with a relapsing-remitting form of the disease (RRMS), for which a breakthrough in treatment was made in 2008 with rituximab, an antibody directed towards CD20, a surface antigen on B-cells.

   Sammanfattning : Background. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and degenerative disease of the central nervous system that typically debuts around age 30. About 2.3 million people are affected in the world today, and besides trauma it is the most common cause of neurological disability among young adults in the western world. LÄS MER

7. 20. A cognitive-behavioral approach to generalized anxiety disorder

   Sammanfattning : Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a prevalent anxiety disorder with an estimated lifetime prevalence of about 5%. Relatively little research regarding psychopathology and treatment exists on this disorder. Worry is the dominating feature of GAD together with a set of characteristic somatic symptoms (motor tension, vigilance and scanning). LÄS MER
