  1. 11. CSF biomarkers in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus- Diagnostics and pathophysiology

    Författare :Anna Jeppsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; cerebrospinal fluid; biomarkers;

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a disease of the elderly with enlarged ventricles despite a normal CSF pressure. Clinically, iNPH presents with gait- and balance disturbances, cognitive decline and incontinence. As the symptoms are reversed by shunt surgery, precise diagnostics is of essence. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Wearable systems and sensors for the assessment of motor control : Development and validation of methods for clinical assessment of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

    Författare :Tomas Bäcklund; Nina Sundström; Anders Eklund; Jan Malm; Kaj Lindecrantz; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gait; step-width; heel-heigt; balance; trunk sway; idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; IMU; Inter-rater reliability; kinematics; medical informatics; medicinsk informatik;

    Sammanfattning : Human gait and balance are controlled by automatic processes in the central nervous system, and in sensory and proprioceptive systems. If a disturbance occurs in any of these complex structures, it may lead to balance and gait problems. LÄS MER

  4. 13. A population-based study on neuropsychological and morphological signs of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

    Författare :Otto Lilja-Lund; Lars Nyberg; Martin Maripuu; Katarina Laurell; Magnus Tisell; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; cognition; dual-task; ageing; temporal horns; morphology; memory; executive function; Neurology; neurologi;

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is typically manifested in people over 65 years. The condition of gait disturbances, incontinence, and cognitive dysfunction can be reversed in up to 80% of the cases by ventricular shunting. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Epidemiology of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus - Prevalence, Risk Factors, Diagnosis and Prognosis

    Författare :Daniel Jaraj; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus; Epidemiology; Dementia; Prevalence; Risk factors; Evans index; Long-term outcome; Population study;

    Sammanfattning : The number of older persons and individuals with cognitive impairment is expected to increase dramatically in most parts of the world. It is therefore important to learn more about disorders that affect cognition. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Alzheimer's Disease Neuropathological Change and neuronal and glial alterations in patients with idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

    Författare :Sylwia Libard; Irina Alafuzoff; Anna Dimberg; Per Kristian Eide; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus; Alzheimer’s disease; amyloid β; hyperphosphorylated τ; Patologi; Pathology;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease Neuropathological Change (ADNC), i.e. amyloid β (Aβ) and hyperphosphorylated τ (HPτ), is seen in excess in the brains of subjects with AD. LÄS MER
