The brain and spinal cord are enveloped by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which extends down to the base of the spine, a few centimeters below the termination of the spinal cord. Here, it can be collected through a minor needle puncture. This procedure enables the gathering of information about otherwise concealed molecula...
OBJECTIVE
Sub-study 1 aims to collect CSF from individuals with AUD across various ages to analyze brain molecules that contribute to the development and maintenance of the disease.
Sub-study 2 aims to gather CSF from healthy controls across various ages to study molecules involved in neurological and psychiatric conditions, including AUD, substance dependency, brain inflammation, and narcolepsy. The goal is to create a reference group of CSF from healthy controls for comparison with CSF collected...
We hypothesize that levels of certain molecules, such as dopamine, differ between healthy controls and those with e.g. AUD. This study may provide insights into cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying brain disorders, which is in turn crucial for developing new, effective treatments.
Sub-study 3 will examine how the incubation of nerve cells in CSF collected in sub-study 1 and 2 affects their excitability and ability to form new synapses, essential for communication in the brain.
We hypothesize that the excitability and synaptogenesis of nerve cells will vary depending on whether they are incubated in CSF from neurologically and psychiatrically healthy individuals versus those with AUD, substance use disorders, brain inflammation, and narcolepsy. Understanding how CSF composition influences bra...
METHODS
Individuals with AUD, as well as psychiatrically and neurologically healthy volunteers, will be successively recruited for CSF collection and analyses. Recruitment will be performed through media advertisements and posters within healthcare facilities (The Sahlgrenska University Hospital) and the University of Gothenbu...
SIGNIFICANCE
CSF studies offers unique insights into the cellular and molecular processes within the brain. This approach has been utilized for exploring the mechanisms behind several psychiatric and neurological disorders, but not for certain brain diseases like AUD. AUD inflicts significant suffering for affected individuals, con...

With standard care treatment (glasses plus either patching or atropine drops given to the better seeing eye), 35% of children with anisometropic amblyopia do not have any significant visual improvements, and will have reduced vision in one eye for life. There is no consensus for the reasons why some children do not res...
Recent research using the Plusoptix PowerRefractor (PR3), which quickly measures eye focusing (accommodation), suggested that in children with anisometropic amblyopia, the focusing of the amblyopic eye might influence treatment success. However, such measurements weren't previously common due to equipment limitations i...
The investigators aim to use the non-invasive PR3 to assess accommodation in hypermetropic anisometropic amblyopia, at the University of Sheffield.

This practice is grounded in the concept of " preload responsiveness ". However, the accrual of positive fluid balance resulting from fluid administration is now acknowledged as an autonomous risk factor for mortality.
Consequently, preload unresponsiveness assumes a pathological character, potentially indicative of fluid overload or right ventricular dysfunction, both deleterious conditions linked to unfavorable outcomes.
Maintaining patients in a preload-responsive state may be interesting to limit fluid expansion and the need of invasive mechanical ventilation.
The objective of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the prognostic significance of preload responsiveness in patients admitted to the ICU with hypoxemic, non-hypercapnic respiratory failure.
* Main objective: To evaluate the association between fluid responsiveness, assessed by the inferior vena cava collapsibility index (cIVC) with trans-thoracic echocardiography within the initial 48 hours post-ICU admission, and mortality or the need for invasive mechanical ventilation by day 28 in patients admitted to ...
* Secondary objectives: To evaluate the association between fluid responsiveness and mortality at day 28 and day 90, the need of invasive mechanical ventilation, and the number of days free from organ support (vasopressors, mechanical ventilation and renal replacement therapy) by day 28.
