  1. 21. On cardiovascular responses to hypovolemic circulatory stress. An experimental study in man

    Författare :Henrik Olsen; Helsingborg Kliniska Vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetology; secreting systems; Endocrinology; vein.; type 1 diabetes; skeletal muscle; LBNP; compliance; CFC; Ageing; baroreceptor; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

    Sammanfattning : Aged subjects have a decreased tolerance to hypovolemia, which could contribute to their increased cardiovascular morbidity. One possible etiological factor might be an age-related reduction in the efficiency of the baroreceptor reflex axis. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Postural control and adaptation to threats to balance stability

    Författare :Mitesh Patel; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Postural control; Visual; Vestibular; Somatosensory; Proprioception; Posturography; Complaint surface; Ageing; Mechanoreceptive sensation; Sleep deprivation; Adaptation; Muscle activity;

    Sammanfattning : Postural control is the ability to maintain equilibrium and orientation in a gravitational environment. It is dependent on feedback and feedforward mechanisms that generate appropriate corrective movement based on body-sway motion detected primarily by visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive sensory systems.

  4. 23. Unpacking the Welfare Technology Solution Discourse : An analysis of society’s perceptions of formal and informal care of older people

    Författare :Maria Nilsson; Elizabeth Hanson; Lennart Magnusson; Stefan Andersson; Teppo Kröger; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Welfare technology; discourse; older people; informal carers; informal care; elder care; policy analysis; local health and social care policy of older people; Nordic welfare state model; healthy ageing; Välfärdsteknik; diskurs; äldre; anhöriga; anhörigomsorg; närstående; policy-analys; äldreomsorg; lokal policy; pensionärsorganisationerna; välfärdsstaten; hälsosamt åldrande; Health and Caring Sciences; Hälsovetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The overarching aim of this thesis is to examine how the welfare technology solution discourse can provide insights into society’s views of formal and informal care for older people.  The thesis employs a qualitative inductive design based on social constructionism and discourse analysis.

  5. 24. Preventive home visits among older people : risk assessment, self-rated health and experiences of healthy ageing

    Författare :Astrid Fjell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The worldwide population is ageing and life expectancy is increasing. This increase in age is associated with physiological and psychosocial challenges and changes that lead to decreased intrinsic capacity and functional ability. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Effects of ageing and training on the human heart

    Författare :Frederic Bouvier; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Ageing; endurance training; exercise capacity; myocardial perfusion scintigraphy; ejection fraction; left ventricular end-diastolic volume; ventricular arrhythmias and heart rate variability;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the present studies was to evaluate the effects of ageing and endurance training on the human heart. One hundred and twelve healthy subjects, athletes and non-athletes, between 20 and 80 years of age and two master athletes between 70 and 80 years of age with previous myocardial infarction were investigated.
