1. Proteomic strategies for analysis of cerebrospinal fluid in neurodegenerative disorders
Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT There is a great need for biomarkers to diagnose neurodegenerative disorders, such as the cognitive disorders Alzheimer?s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is in contact with the extracellular fluid of the brain and is consequently a valuable medium for identifying biomarkers for neurological disorders. LÄS MER
2. Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus : Cerebrospinal Fluid Tap Test and Magnetic Resonance Imaging as Preoperative Prognostic Investigations
Sammanfattning : Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a condition with dilated cerebral ventricles but intracranial pressure within normal limits. The symptoms of gait impairment, cognitive decline and urinary incontinence develop gradually. Treatment with shunt insertion results in improvement in eight out of ten patients. LÄS MER
3. Development of proteomic methods for studying cerebrospinal fluid proteins involved in Alzheimer´s disease
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in western countries. The main neuropathological findings in the AD brain are senile plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and degeneration of neurons and synapses. LÄS MER
4. Candidate biomarkers for synaptic pathology: neurogranin, neuroligins and neurexins in neurodegenerative disorders
Sammanfattning : Synapses are small units through which neurons communicate in the brain. They represent the site of memory formation and cognitive abilities and are thus primarily affected by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia in the elderly population.
