  1. 16. On HIV-1 infection in the central nervous system

    Författare :Åsa Mellgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HIV-1; antiretroviral therapy; cerebrospinal fluid; neurofilament protein; AIDS dementia complex; neuropsychological test;

    Sammanfattning : HIV-1 (hereafter referred to as HIV) is a neurotropic virus that invades the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is then susceptible to an acute infection and later to CNS opportunistic diseases and AIDS dementia complex (ADC). HIV does not infect the neurons, and neuropathogenesis is largely mediated by the immune system. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Characterization of dengue virus isolates from patients experiencing dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and dengue shock syndrome

    Författare :Anne Tuiskunen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV) belong to the genus flavivirus, and have a positive sense, single-stranded RNA genome of ~11 kb. The DENVs cause the most common arthropod-borne viral disease in man with ~100 million infections per year. The sole measure of control is limiting the mosquito vectors Aedes aegypti and Ae. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Genetic regulation of neuroinflammation after infection and injury

    Författare :Nada Omar Abdelmagid; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Neuroinflammation is a common theme in a spectrum of central nervous system (CNS) diseases resulting in neuronal damage and degeneration. The exact mechanisms regulating inflammation in the CNS or its consequences in terms of nerve injury are still not known in detail. LÄS MER

  5. 19. The kynurenine pathway and development of schizophrenia : immunological and genetic aspects

    Författare :Maria Holtze; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Schizophrenia is a complex disorder with symptoms ranging from hallucinations to poor social functioning and cognitive deficits. Despite decades of research, the etiology of the disease remains puzzling. Genetic aberrations as well as exposure to infection during early life are associated with an increased risk for development of the disease. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Studies on experimental neonatal CNS infection : implications for neuropsychiatric disorders

    Författare :Linnéa Asp; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Despite extensive research the etiologies of neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia remain obscure. It is currently believed that complex interactions between a number of genetic and environmental risk factors contribute to the development of these disorders. LÄS MER
