1. 1. Late Neuropsychiatric Consequences of Stroke in the Elderly

   Författare :Thomas Lindén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Epidemiology; Cerebrovascular Disorders; Rehabilitation; Dementia; Perceptual Disorders; Depression; Depressive Disorders; Activities of Daily Living; Health Care Costs; Stroke;

   Sammanfattning : Cognitive impairments and depression have considerable impacts on rehabilitation, quality of life and mortality after stroke. The understanding of cognitive and mood impairments in old and, in particular, very old stroke patients is not sufficient. LÄS MER

3. 2. On certain genetic and metabolic risk factors for carotid stenosis and stroke

   Författare :Pär Wanby; Lars Brudin; Martin Carlsson; Milita Crisby; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Carotid artery diseases; Carrier proteins; genetics; Cerebrovascular accident; Cerebrovascular disorders; Genetic predisposition to disease; Polymorphism; genetic; Medicine; Medicin; Medicin;

   Sammanfattning : The present study evaluated genetic and metabolic factors influencing the risk of acute cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and internal carotid artery stenosis (ICA stenosis) in a Swedish community. The threonine (T) containing protein of the FABP2 A54T gene polymorphism has a greater affinity for long chain fatty acids (FFAs) than the alanine (A) containing protein. LÄS MER

4. 3. Natural course and long-term prognosis in idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus - the effect of delayed surgery and clinical factors on outcome and survival

   Författare :Kerstin Andrén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Normal pressure hydrocephalus; Natural history; Gait disorders; Cognitive disorders; Prognosis;

   Sammanfattning : Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, iNPH, causes gait and balance difficulties, urinary incontinence and cognitive decline in mainly older persons and is treatable by insertion of a cerebrospinal fluid diverting shunt. The effects of postponing treatment in these patients have have been largely unknown and the benefits of treatment in the long-term, mortality and causes of death have not been reported in any large cohort of patients.

5. 4. Hyperglycemia and Focal Brain Ischemia : Clinical and Experimental Studies

   Författare :Nasim Farrokhnia; Andreas Terént; Fredrik Lennmyr; Elisabeth Björk; Henrik Hagberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Internal medicine; cerebrovascular disorders; diabetes mellitus; hyperglycemia; infarction; middle cerebral artery; ischemia; mitogen-activated protein kinases; mortality; rats; reactive oxygen species; reperfusion; signal transduction; therapeutics; Invärtesmedicin; Internal medicine; Invärtesmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : Diabetes is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke and is associated with increased mortality. Additionally, hyperglycemia, a common complication in acute stroke, is associated with poor outcome. LÄS MER

7. 5. On self-efficacy and balance after stroke

   Författare :Karin Hellström; Jan Lexell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Cerebrovascular disorders; rehabilitation; physiotherapy; balance; self-efficacy; treadmill walking; activities of daily living; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Rehabilitation Medicine; rehabiliteringsmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : The general aim of this work was to evaluate the outcome of specialised stroke rehabilitation and to examine the relation between both subjectively perceived and objectively assessed balance and impairments and some activity limitations. A further, integrated aim was to establish some psychometric properties and the usability of a newly developed Falls-Efficacy Scale, Swedish version (FES(S)) in stroke rehabilitation. LÄS MER
