16. Towards Clinical Implementation of Dynamic Positron Emission Tomography in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are the two most common neurodegenerative disorders worldwide. Positron emission tomography (PET), together with suitable biomarkers, can aid in the clin-ical evaluation as well as in research investigations of these diseases. LÄS MER
17. Positron emission tomography in serotonergic drug development
Sammanfattning : The serotonin neurotransmission system has a central role in drug treatment of depression and anxiety and is also discussed in relation to treatment of schizophrenia. The benefits of presently available drugs are however limited by partial of poor response and side effects. LÄS MER
18. Bone Regeneration with Cell-free Injectable Scaffolds
Sammanfattning : Bone is a remarkable multifunctional tissue with the ability to regenerate and remodel without generating any scar tissue. However, bone loss due to injury or diseases can be a great challenge and affect the patient significantly. Autologous bone grafting is commonly used throughout the world. LÄS MER
19. Imaging Chronic Pain and Inflammation : Positron Emission Tomography Studies of Whiplash Associated Disorder
Sammanfattning : This thesis is on chronic neck pain after a rear impact car injury, so called whiplash associated disorder (WAD). Three empirical studies using positron emission tomography (PET) with different radioligands have been performed. LÄS MER
20. Functional regulation of the dopaminergic system in vivo : Experimental and clinical studies with positron emission tomography
Sammanfattning : Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive imaging technique used to quantitate the kinetics of a radiotracer in such physiological processes as receptor binding and enzyme activity. Radiolabelled L-DOPA has previously been used as a tracer for the dopaminergic system. LÄS MER
