    Sammanfattning : Background Prospective longitudinal studies in Alzheimer's disease (AD) that include cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment in routine clinical settings are scarce. The patients vary in severity of the disease, clinical course, rate of progression and response to treatment. LÄS MER

  3. 27. Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia in population-based studies

    Sammanfattning : Dementia, a clinical syndrome with several profiles and causes, is characterised by a decline in cognitive functions, including memory, learning, executive function, attention, language, and social ability. The most common forms of dementia are Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. LÄS MER

  4. 28. The matter of white matter in Alzheimer's disease. -On white matter disease from neuropathology and neuroimaging to clinical presentation

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent type of dementing disorder. The cortical pathology of AD has been recognized for almost a century. In later years, an associated pathological feature of AD has been identified which affects the white matter. LÄS MER

  5. 29. The limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in Alzheimer's disease

    Författare :Birgitta Näsman; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s disease; multi-infarct dementia; hippocampus; temporal lobe; adrenal androgens; adrenocorticotropin; corticotropinreleasing hormone; cortisol; skin blanching;

    Sammanfattning : Dysfunction of the limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (LHPA) axis is a common finding in advanced dementia. In this study, the function of the LHPA axis at different levels was investigated in patients with dementia and in healthy elderly.A subtle disturbance in the feedback regulation of the LHPA axis was found in patients with early (i.e. LÄS MER

  7. 30. Genomic strategies towards the dissection of human complex disease

    Författare :Tesfai Emahazion; Uppsala universitet; []
