Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Cancer

Torbjörn Bäckström spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Menstrual cycle, Luteal phase and Allopregnanolone. His Pregnanolone, Androgen, Benzodiazepine, Premenstrual Tension and Chemotherapy investigations are all subjects of Internal medicine research. His Endocrinology study incorporates themes from Neuroactive steroid and Mood.

His Menstrual cycle research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Catamenial epilepsy, Menstruation, Physiology and Hormone replacement therapy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Anesthesia, Sex steroid and Pregnane. His work carried out in the field of Allopregnanolone brings together such families of science as Metabolite and Morris water navigation task, Hippocampus, Neuroscience, Amygdala.

His most cited work include:

  • Calculation of free and bound fractions of testosterone and estradiol-17β to human plasma proteins at body temperature (963 citations)
  • Epileptic seizures in women related to plasma estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle. (342 citations)
  • Relationship between symptom severity and steroid variation in women with premenstrual syndrome: study on serum pregnenolone, pregnenolone sulfate, 5 alpha-pregnane-3,20-dione and 3 alpha-hydroxy-5 alpha-pregnan-20-one. (311 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Allopregnanolone, Menstrual cycle and Neuroactive steroid. His study in Hormone, Luteal phase, Follicular phase, Metabolite and Ovary is carried out as part of his Internal medicine studies. His Luteal phase study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Corpus luteum and Mood.

His primary area of study in Endocrinology is in the field of Estrogen. The various areas that he examines in his Allopregnanolone study include Anxiolytic and Morris water navigation task. His Menstrual cycle study incorporates themes from Ovulation, Menstruation, Physiology and Luteinizing hormone.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (72.29%)
  • Endocrinology (67.20%)
  • Allopregnanolone (25.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (72.29%)
  • Allopregnanolone (25.80%)
  • Endocrinology (67.20%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Torbjörn Bäckström spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Allopregnanolone, Endocrinology, Neuroactive steroid and GABAA receptor. Torbjörn Bäckström regularly ties together related areas like Mood in his Internal medicine studies. His research in Allopregnanolone intersects with topics in Anesthesia, GABA receptor, Anxiolytic, Cirrhosis and Pregnanolone.

His Neuroactive steroid research incorporates themes from Clinical psychology, Neurology, Neuroscience, Depression and Morris water navigation task. His GABAA receptor study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sedation, Pharmacology, Antagonist and Aminobutyric acid. The Premenstrual dysphoric disorder study combines topics in areas such as Psychiatry, Luteal phase, Negative mood and MEDLINE.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Allopregnanolone and mood disorders. (100 citations)
  • ISPMD consensus on the management of premenstrual disorders (77 citations)
  • Low Serum Allopregnanolone Is Associated with Symptoms of Depression in Late Pregnancy (65 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Cancer

Torbjörn Bäckström focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Allopregnanolone, Neuroactive steroid and Premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Gynecology and Internal medicine. He is interested in Hormone, which is a branch of Endocrinology.

His studies examine the connections between Allopregnanolone and genetics, as well as such issues in Circadian rhythm, with regards to Hypothalamus, Food intake and gamma-Aminobutyric acid. His work carried out in the field of Neuroactive steroid brings together such families of science as Depression, Neurology, Clinical psychology and Anxiety. Torbjörn Bäckström interconnects Psychiatry, Luteal phase and Negative mood in the investigation of issues within Premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
