Neurology in sub-Saharan Africa: a challenge for World Federation of NeurologyJohan A Aarli
University of Bergen, Institutt for nevrologi, Haukeland Sykehus, Bergen, Norway
Neurology 69:1715-8. 2007
Chapter 41: the history of neurology in ScandinaviaJohan A Aarli
Department of Neurology, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway
Handb Clin Neurol 95:657-66. 2010....
Myasthenia gravis in the elderly: Is it different?Johan A Aarli
Department of Neurology, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1132:238-43. 2008..Titin antibodies in MG patients seem to be associated with a higher frequency of DR7 antigen and a decrease of DR3 antigen. The antibody response in MG may therefore be influenced by the genetic background...
Thymectomy and antimuscle antibodies in nonthymomatous myasthenia gravisFredrik Romi
Department of Neurology, Haukeland University Hospital, N 5021 Bergen, Norway
Ann N Y Acad Sci 998:481-90. 2003..Thymectomy should always be considered shortly after MG onset in early-onset MG patients and might only be considered in late-onset patients who have early-onset-like immunological characteristics...
The role of complement in myasthenia gravis: serological evidence of complement consumption in vivoFredrik Romi
Department of Neurology, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen N 5021, Norway
J Neuroimmunol 158:191-4. 2005..These antibodies are capable of complement activation in vitro. The involvement of the complement system should cause consumption of complement components such as C3 and C4 in vivo...
Myasthenia gravis in individuals over 40Johan A Aarli
Department of Neurology, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway
Ann N Y Acad Sci 998:424-31. 2003..Late-onset, nonthymomatous MG comprises two subgroups, one corresponding to delayed early onset and one immunologically similar to that seen in patients with MG and thymoma...
Myasthenia gravis: a review of available treatment approachesNils Erik Gilhus
Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Bergen, 5020 Bergen, Norway
Autoimmune Dis 2011:847393. 2011..MG pathogenesis is known in detail, but the immune therapy is still surprisingly unspecific, without a pin-pointed attack on the defined disease-inducing antigen-antibody reaction being available...
Neurological effects of deep divingMarit Grønning
National Centre for Hyperbaric and Diving Medicine, Department of Occupational Medicine, Haukeland University Hospital, N 5021 Bergen, Norway
J Neurol Sci 304:17-21. 2011..Prospective clinical studies with sufficient power and sensitivity are needed to solve this very important issue...
Pathogenesis of myositis and myasthenia associated with titin and ryanodine receptor antibodiesGeir Olve Skeie
Department of Neurology, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway
Ann N Y Acad Sci 998:343-50. 2003..However, so far, there is no direct evidence that antibodies against the intracellular antigens RyR and titin are pathogenic in vivo...
Detection of viral sequences in archival spinal cords from fatal cases of poliomyelitis in 1951-1952Tiina Rekand
Department of Neurology, Haukeland University Hospital, N 5020 Bergen, Norway
J Virol Methods 114:91-6. 2003..The sequences from the 2C region of poliovirus were rather conserved while those in the 5'-untranslated region were variable. The developed method should be suitable also for other genetic studies of old archival material...
Titin and ryanodine receptor epitopes are expressed in cortical thymoma along with costimulatory moleculesFredrik Romi
Department of Neurology, Haukeland University Hospital, 5021, Bergen, Norway
J Neuroimmunol 128:82-9. 2002..In all cases, there is an overexpression of muscle-like epitopes and costimulatory molecules indicating that the T-cell autoimmunization is actively promoted by the pathogenic microenvironment inside the thymoma...
Role of cytokines in neurological disordersJohan A Aarli
Department of Neurology, University of Bergen, Norway
Curr Med Chem 10:1931-7. 2003..Studies of patients with epilepsy and animals with experimentally induced seizures indicate that cytokines may also influence the electrophysiological properties of neurons...

School of Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia
J Neurol Sci 247:29-34. 2006..who.int/mental_health/neurology/ ...

Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen 124:629-31. 2004..Thymectomy as a treatment for myasthenia gravis (MG) is widely carried out as there is good clinical evidence for post-thymectomy improvement in younger MG patients...
