11. 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
12. 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
13. Spinal cord repair strategies
Sammanfattning : Regeneration of long fiber tracts does not occur spontaneously in the adult mammalian brain or spinal cord. The present work is an attempt to develop a repair strategy that may overcome this lack of recovery and apply it to spinal cord injury. LÄS MER
14. The use of adipose derived stem cells in spinal cord and peripheral nerve repair
Sammanfattning : Clinically, injuries affecting the spinal cord or peripheral nerves can leave those affected with severe disability and, at present, there are limited options for treatment. Peripheral nerve injury with a significant gap between the proximal and distal stumps is currently treated with autologous nerve grafting but this is limited by availability of donor nerve and has associated morbidities.

15. The Stockholm-Thessaloniki acute traumatic spinal cord injury study
Sammanfattning : About 60 years ago, the application of the then contemporary medical methods to treat traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (TSCI), its consequences and complications, coupled with the introduction of a systematic approach of care, resulted in major prognostic improvements. Since then, many countries worldwide have established systems of SCI care. LÄS MER
