  1. 6. Neurointensive care of subarachnoid hemorrhage : Clinical and neurochemical aspects

    Författare :Kristina Giuliana Cesarini; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; SAH; neurointensive care; neurochemical monitoring; cerebral ischemia; microdialysis; cerebral metabolism; secondary ischemic events; clinical outcome; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurosurgery; neurokirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Neurointensive care (NIC) has gained terrain in the treatment of patients with various acute cerebral conditions. It is based on the concept that an unfavorable clinical outcome, to a certain extent, results from all secondary ischemic insults sustained by the brain during the acute phase of the disease.

  3. 7. On the role of complement activation following traumatic brain injury

    Författare :Bo-Michael Bellander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of early death and disability among young people in the industrial world. The final clinical outcome in terms of morbidity/mortality is not only related to the "primary brain injury", but also seems to be dependent on the potential development of so called "secondary injuries", that may occur in the brain the days after the initial impact.

  4. 8. On biomarkers in traumatic brain injury

    Författare :Eric Thelin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of death and disability. Unfortunately, TBI patients will be affected by secondary insults, such as hypoxia and increased intracranial pressure, which may lead to secondary brain injuries. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Bedside monitoring of cerebral energy metabolism using intracerebral microdialysis during neuro intensive care

    Författare :Nils Ståhl; Neurokirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; Neurologi; neuropsychology; Neurology; glycerol.; glutamate; pyruvate; lactate; glucose; hyperglycaemia; intensive care; brain injury; Human; cerebral microdialysis; neurophysiology;

    Sammanfattning : In clinical situations with raised intracranial pressure (ICP) and impending insufficient cerebral blood flow (ischaemia), bedside information about energy metabolism in the brain would be helpful. Microdialysis is a technique that makes it possible to monitor the interstitial concentrations of various compounds in an organ. LÄS MER

  7. 10. On optic nerve injury : experimental studies on axonal regeneration in the adult mammalian CNS

    Författare :Marcus Ohlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Astroglia; axon; degeneration; glial scar; immunohistochemistry; macrophage; methylprednisolone; microglia; neurosurgery; optic nerve; rat; regeneration and visual evoked potentials;

    Sammanfattning : Optic nerve injury may occur after a trauma to the head and in many cases it causes partial or total blindness. Today, these patients cannot be offered any specific treatment to restore visual function. LÄS MER
