  1. 21. Cholinergic receptors in human prenetal brain : presence, distribution and influence of nicotine and ethanol

    Författare :Lena Falk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Events early in life, including exposure to various compounds, may cause disturbances in brain development. Both maternal smoking and alcohol drinking during pregnancy can induce preand postnatal death, cognitive and neurobehavioral disturbances. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Multiple amyloid binding sites in Alzheimer brain and their interaction with synaptic and inflammatory mechanisms

    Författare :Ruiqing Ni; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia. A series of pathophyslogical changes start many years prior to the emergence of clinical symptoms. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Pharyngeal function, airway protection and anesthetic agents

    Författare :Eva Sundman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Aspiration; postoperative pulmonary complications; hypoxia; sedation.;

    Sammanfattning : Anesthesia related complications occur most frequently in the immediate postoperative period. The three most common conditions associated with such events are ventilatory failure, airway obstruction and aspiration. The pharynx is essential for respiration and protection of the upper airway.

  5. 24. Role of prostaglandin E2 as a neuro-immune mediator in the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway

    Författare :Priya Revathikumar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Therapeutic implications of cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) activation have marked the beginning of a novel treatment strategy of passing electrical impulses along the left vagus nerve to alleviate acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. Extensive work in understanding CAP through vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) have identified key molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) mediated control of inflammation.
