  1. 11. Childhood malignant disease and consequences for growth hormone secretion, intellectual function and cardiovascular risk

    Författare :Katarina Link; Lund Medicin; []

    Sammanfattning : In childhood onset growth hormone deficiency (GHD) a reduction in cardiac left ventricular mass (LVMi) and impairment of cardiac systolic function, as well as in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been shown. In study I, we showed that a low dose of GH treatment for 10 months resulted in increased LVMi and kidney size. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Imaging brain functions during neuropsychological testing

    Författare :Per Hamid Ghatan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Keywords: Positron Emission Tomography; Cognition; Alcohol; Nicotine; Brain injury; Interference;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis has dealt with the development of tools for assessing cognitive functions(attention and working memory) using functional imaging and the evaluation of the modulatory effects of performance, nicotine, alcohol, brain injury and auditory interference. Two cognitive tasks commonly used in the assessment of patients with brain injury, the externally-generated Perceptual Maze Test (PMT) and an internally-generated arithmetical task, Serial-7, were used as activation paradigms.
