1. Anatomical, neurochemical and behavioural consequences of immunotoxin lesions of the basal forebrain cholinergic system
Sammanfattning : The cholinergic hypothesis of geriatric memory dysfunction suggests that the learning and memory deficits representing the cardinal symptoms of dementia in the aged and in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease may be attributable to a decline in the function of the cholinergic projection systems of the basal forebrain. Although many studies have addressed the issue of a causal relationship between cholinergic hypofunction and cognitive disturbance, analyses of the functional role of the basal forebrain cholinergic neuronal systems in the brain have so far been hampered by the lack of an efficient and specific cholinergic neurotoxin.

2. Human aging, dopamine, and cognition : molecular and functional imaging of executive functions and implicit learning
Sammanfattning : Age-related deficits are legion in task switching, updating of information in working memory (WM) and inhibiting irrelevant information, collectively referred to as executive functions. Executive functions are tightly coupled to the dopaminergic system, and marked dopamine (DA) losses are observed across adulthood and aging. LÄS MER
3. On the detection and management of urinary bladder carcinoma
Sammanfattning : Aims: To describe the diagnosis and clinical course of an unselected population-based cohort of patients with newly diagnosed transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. To assess if random bladder biopsies and the detection of concomitant carcinoma in situ have an impact on management and clinical outcome in bladder cancer patients. LÄS MER
4. Inflammatory mechanisms in experimental CNS trauma
Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries are important causes of premature death and permanentdisability. To improve the treatment of CNS-injured patients increased knowledge about thepathophysiological events that mediate death or dysfunction of nervous tissue is urgently needed. LÄS MER
5. Preoperative local staging of prostate cancer : aspects on predictive models, magnetic resonance imaging and interdisciplinary teamwork
Sammanfattning : In prostate cancer surgery the two issues at stake are the removal of the tumour on one hand and functional outcome i.e. urinary continence and sexual function on the other. LÄS MER
