1. 6. Risk factors for development of neurocognitive disorders

   Författare :Anna-Märta Gustavsson; Klinisk minnesforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vascular risk factors; dementia; Alzheimer’s disease; ß-amyloid; white matter hyperintensities; cerebral small vessel disease;

   Sammanfattning : Vascular risk factors are believed to be involved in dementia development by increasing risk of the most common dementia types, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular dementia. The aim of this thesis was to study if risk factors affect key brain pathology directly, by using biomarkers for dementia in preclinical stages, and to assess previous findings in a large population-based setting.

3. 7. Recognition of dementia with Lewy bodies. Prevalence of core signs, medical treatments and survival in Swedish nursing homes and short-term homes

   Författare :Iris Zahirovic; Klinisk minnesforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; DEMENTIA; Dementia care; Lewy Body Disease; Geriatric Medicine; Neurocognitive disorders; Antipsychotic Agents therapeutic use; Survival; Prevalence of symptoms;

   Sammanfattning : Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is an underdiagnosed neurocognitive disorder thatincludes several complex neurological and psychological signs, which are challenging toclinical diagnostics. The recognition of this neurocognitive disorder should beimproved because people with DLB exhibit a good treatment response to anti-dementiamedications but experience severe adverse events if treated with anti-psychoticmedicine.

4. 8. Dementia with Lewy bodies - a clinical and neurological approach

   Sammanfattning : Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a dementia disorder, clinically characterized by fluctuating cognitive impairment, attention deficits, visual hallucinations, parkinsonism and other neuropsychiatric features. Sensitivity to neuroleptic medication is a common finding. LÄS MER

5. 9. Dementia with Lewy bodies —an Investigation of Cause and Consequence

   Författare :Fredrik Boström; Klinisk minnesforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lewy body disease; Alzheimers disease; Dementia; Dementia with Lewy bodies;

   Sammanfattning : Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is today considered to be the second most common primary neurodegenerative dementia after Alzheimer’s disease. However, the disease has only been a clearly defined entity for 13 years. LÄS MER

7. 10. Prediction of Alzheimer’s disease in subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment using biomarkers

   Författare :Peder Buchhave; Klinisk minnesforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s disease; Mild Cognitive Impairment; Biomarkers; Prediction; Cerebrospinal fluid; Amyloid.;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. In order to have effect of future disease-modifying therapies for AD, the disease must be identified early, before the patients have developed dementia. Many patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) have prodromal AD, but other causes for the syndrome are common. LÄS MER
