1. 16. Swallowing function in patients with Parkinson’s disease and Deep Brain Stimulation

   Författare :Stina Sundstedt; Katarina Olofsson; Jan Linder; Erik Nordh; Olle Ekberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson’s disease; swallowing; deep brain stimulation; subthalamic nucleus; caudal zona incerta; swallowing quality of life; oto-rhino-laryngologi; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology;

   Sammanfattning : BackgroundParkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases in Europe. Besides motor dysfunction, PD is characterized by several non-motor and secondary motor features, such as weight change, sialorrhea, constipation and swallowing problems. LÄS MER

3. 17. Balance performance in people with Parkinson’s disease. Effects of subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation

   Författare :Maria H Nilsson; Aktivt och hälsosamt åldrande; []
   Nyckelord :Parkinson s disease; Deep Brain Stimulation; subthalamic nucleus; balance; falls.; fear of falling;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aims of this work were to investigate if Deep Brain Stimulation in the subthalamic nuclei (STN) affected balance, fear of falling and falls in people with Parkinson's disease. The effect of STN stimulation alone was investigated in Papers I, II and III. LÄS MER

4. 18. Deep Brain Stimulation Atlases in Movement Disorders : from Patient-Specific to Group Analysis

   Författare :Dorian Vogel; Karin Wårdell; Simone Hemm; Anders Eklund; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established method for symptom control in movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). The treatment consists in delivering electrical stimulation in the deep brain via multi-contact electrodes. LÄS MER

5. 19. Infrared Laser Stimulation of Cerebral Cortex Cells - Aspects of Heating and Cellular Responses

   Författare :Rickard Liljemalm; Tobias Nyberg; Hans von Holst; Claus-Peter Richter; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; laser; modeling; heating; infrared neural stimulation; astrocytes; neurons; damage;

   Sammanfattning : The research of functional stimulation of neural tissue is of great interest within the field of clinical neuroscience to further develop new neural prosthetics. A technique which has gained increased interest during the last couple of years is the stimulation of nervous tissue using infrared laser light. LÄS MER

7. 20. β-adrenergic stimulation of VEGF gene expression : intracellular signalling pathways

   Författare :Magnus J. Fredriksson; Georg Breier; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; zoofysiologi; Zoological physiology;

   Sammanfattning : In the present study, the intracellular signalling pathway mediating ß-adrenergic stimulation of the expression of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene was investigated.VEGF is an activator of angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, and is considered to be a major regulator of both physiologically and pathologically related angiogenesis, as well as being essential for development of the vascular system.
