11. A regeneration strategy for spinal cord injury
Sammanfattning : A severe traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) frequently leads to a devastating and permanent disability. Due to glial scarring and an inhibitory local environment, regrowth of disrupted axons in the injured spinal cord beyond a lesion is obstructed, thus preventing reconnection with neurons at the other side.

12. Generation of functional neural progenitors for spinal cord transplantation
Sammanfattning : Dorsal root avulsion injuries result in permanent impairment of sensory functions due to the disconnection of the peripheral nervous system from the spinal cord. Strategies aiming for the functional reconnection of sensory neurons with their targets in the spinal cord dorsal horn need to overcome the axonal growth non-permissive glial scar and provide a growth promoting environment.

13. Assessment of rat spinal cord injury models
Sammanfattning : Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a complicated and devastating condition, causing different extents of motor, sensory and autonomic dysfunctions. In addition, there is a risk for secondary complications after SCI including posttraumatic syringomyelia (PTS) that can cause further functional loss. LÄS MER
14. Human spinal cord models for development of spinal cord injury repair strategies
Sammanfattning : There is still no available cure for human spinal cord injury (SCI). After a SCI, neural cell loss, excitotoxicity, neuroinflammation, astrocytic and oligodendrocytic derived inhibiting factors contribute to a non-permissive spinal cord environment hindering neuroregeneration with little, if any, endogeneous functional improvement.

15. Autonomic function and myocardial repolarisation. Studies in renal diseases and in spinal cord injury
Sammanfattning : Both experimental and clinical evidence indicates that cardiac parasympathetic markers such as baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and heart rate variability (HRV) have significant prognostic value. Furthermore, increased myocardial repolarisation lability reflected by increased QT variability index (QTVI) has been identified as a predictor for sudden cardiac death. LÄS MER
