  1. 11. Cerebral Blood Flow and Cognition. Clinical studies on Dementia and Cognitive Decline

    Författare :Arkadiusz Siennicki-Lantz; Geriatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gerontology; Gerontologi; vascular risk factors; carotid ultrasound; peripheral arterial disease; orthostatic hypotension; blood pressure; ageing; SPECT; cerebral blood flow; cognition; Dementia; Alzheimer’s disease;

    Sammanfattning : The importance of early detection of brain changes during ageing has been recognised. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a method used for estimation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in clinical work and in research. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Markers of Prognosis in Neurodegenerative Dementia

    Författare :Kajsa Stubendorff; Klinisk minnesforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lewy body disease; Alzheimer s disease; dementia with Lewy bodies; prognosis; survival; longitudinal studies; biomarkers; cerebrospinal fluid; dysautonomic orthostatic hypotension; memantine;

    Sammanfattning : Background: A prognostic marker should provide information about course and outcome of disease, e.g. predict time to a given endpoint or rate of progression due to disease in patients or subgroups of patients. Prognostic markers could be targeted to apply during the entire clinical course or just during distinct stages of the disease. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Offenders with mental disorder : psychosocial and neurobiological aspects

    Författare :Katarina Howner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The main hypothesis of this thesis is that certain functions, or symptoms, in mentally disordered offenders are connected to biological correlates. There is no specific diagnosis that explains antisocial or violent behaviour. Among offenders some functions or symptoms are considered more common, such as impulsivity and reduced empathy. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Oral health and olfactory function : what can they tell us about cognitive ageing?

    Författare :Christina Silvia Dintica; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis was to advance our understanding of whether oral health and olfactory function may predict accelerated cognitive ageing. Data from two Swedish study populations and one from the United States were applied to investigate the relationship of oral health and olfactory function with cognitive decline and brain ageing in late life.
