  1. 21. Assessment and management of patients at risk for persisting disability after mild traumatic brain injury

    Författare :Giedrė Matusevičienė; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : There is a lack of evidence-based interventions for patients with persisting problems after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The interventions needed should focus on patients at particular risk for persisting disability after mTBI and target modifiable factors. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Multivariate data analysis applied to MRS and MRI studies of aging and spinal cord injury

    Författare :Johanna Öberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Magnetic resonance can be used for non-invasive studies of the body without the use of ionizing radiation. Magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy have proven to be valuable utilities for research in life sciences. LÄS MER

  4. 23. On cerebrospinal fluid markers of HIV-1 infection

    Författare :Lars-Magnus Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HIV-1; cerebrospinal fluid; AIDS dementia complex; ganglioside GD3; Tau proteins; neopterin; HIV-1 RNA; blood-brain barrier; albumin ratio; cultivation;

    Sammanfattning : HIV-1 infects the central nervous system early in the course of infection and neurological complications are common in HIV-1-infected individuals. Approximately 20% of individuals with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) not treated with antiretroviral therapy develop a subcortical dementia, AIDS dementia complex (ADC). LÄS MER

  5. 24. Molecular epidemiology of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus : epidemiological aspects of MRSA and the dissemination in the community and in hospitals

    Författare :Carolina Berglund; Bo Söderquist; Teruyo Ito; Ulf Tidefelt; Johanna Ericson Sollid; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA ; community-acquired MRSA CA-MRSA ; staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec SCCmec ; multilocus sequence typing MLST ; horizontal transfer; Panton Valentine leukocidin PVL ; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Methicillin-resistenta Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) som bär på genen mecA, har förekommit och spridit sig över hela världen, främst i sjukhusmiljö, och orsakat utbrott av vårdrelaterade (så kallade nosokomiala) infektioner. Dessa infektioner kan inte behandlas med stafylokock-penicilliner och MRSA-bakterierna är ofta resistenta även mot flera andra grupper av antibiotika vilket medför att infektionerna ofta är påtagligt svårbehandlade.

  7. 25. Adult human neural stem cells : properties in vitro and as xenografts in the spinal cord

    Författare :Ulf Westerlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Action potential; adult; allodynia; auto-transplantation; endoscope; glutamate; hippocampus; human; neural stem cells; p75; patch clamp; progenitor; spinal cord injury; subventricular zone; synapse; transplantation;

    Sammanfattning : Though the presence of stem cells in the adult human brain has been presented earlier, much has yet to be discovered about these cells. However, the mere potential of these cells has had a significant impact of how we today evaluate the regenerative capacity of the central nervous system and, importantly, on the possible means for science to provide insights in neural repair.
