16. Gait Characteristics, Physical Activity and Subjective Outcome after Shunt Surgery in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Sammanfattning : Background Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a common but under-diagnosed disease among the elderly. The condition is characterised by gait disturbance, postural instability, cognitive decline and incontinence, caused by accumulated cerebrospinal fluid within the central nerve system. LÄS MER
17. Radiological and Clinical Changes in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: MRI, Vascular factors and Clinical Symptoms as Markers of Pathophysiology and Prognosis
Sammanfattning : Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a treatable, neurological disorder affecting the elderly population causing gait, balance, cognitive and micturition impairments. Treatment results in a clinical improvement in up to 80% of patients. LÄS MER
18. Natural course and long-term prognosis in idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus - the effect of delayed surgery and clinical factors on outcome and survival
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. LÄS MER
19. Population-based studies of higher-level gait disorders and hydrocephalus : focused on brain ventricular morphometry and patient outcomes following shunt surgery
Sammanfattning : Background: To study gait is of great importance for the health of the aging population. Higher-level gait disorders (HLGD) are characterized by a slow, symmetrical, unsteady gait. Its cause is most often unknown. HLGD in combination with ventriculomegaly (i. LÄS MER
20. Fluid biomarkers of extracellular matrix remodelling across neurological diseases
Sammanfattning : Neurological diseases constitute a major health and socioeconomic issue. Despite an enormous amount of research going on globally, the prevalence and mortality of neurological disorders are still rising. LÄS MER
