1. Diagnostic, prognostic and management aspects of different types of multiple sclerosis
Sammanfattning : Background: The aim in the thesis is to study diagnostic issues, clinical features, therapy, and prognosis in selected demyelinative disorders of the nervous system: optic neuritis (ON), primary progressive MS (PPMS), and tumefactive MS (a very rare acute demyelinating disorder). Methods: From an initial cohort of 110 patients with ON collected 19 to 31 years ago, a new follow-up survey was conducted in 50 patients who on a previous follow up had not developed MS. LÄS MER
2. On evolution of intracranial changes after severe traumatic brain injury and its impact on clinical outcome
Sammanfattning : Severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) is a cause of death and disability worldwide and requires treatment at specialized neuro-intensive care units (NICU) with a multimodal monitoring approach. The CT scan imaging supports the monitoring and diagnostics. The level of S100B and neuron specific enolase (NSE) reflects the severity of the injury. LÄS MER
3. Outcome after modern neurosurgical care and formalised rehabilitation following severe brain injury
Sammanfattning : Aims: The overall aims were to evaluate the results of the treatment concepts for severe brain injury including decompressive craniectomy (DC), early rehabilitation and long-term follow-up, primarily according to the psychosocial consequences of the brain damage and life satisfaction. The first study was a cross-sectional study to assess and compare the consequences for outcome for two groups with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) or subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), one group that received early, long-term formalised rehabilitation and the other that received late or no formalised rehabilitation.

4. Aspects on Mechanisms, Treatment and Outcome in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause for mortality and morbidity worldwide. The primary injury has great impact on patient outcome and cannot be cured, but attentive neurointensive care (NIC) may reduce detrimental secondary brain injuries and is the focus of this thesis.

5. On severe traumatic brain injury : aspects of an intra cranial pressure-targeted therapy based on the Lund concept
Sammanfattning : Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (sTBI) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. At the Department of Neurosurgery Umeå University Hospital subjects with sTBI are treated with an intracranial pressure (ICP) guided therapy based on physiological principles, aiming to optimise the microcirculation of the brain so avoiding secondary brain injuries.
