  1. 1. Cognitive profiles of vascular and neurodegenerative MCI

    Författare :Arto Nordlund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :neuropsychology; MCI; Alzheimer s disease; vascular dementia;

    Sammanfattning : The objective of the thesis was to investigate the cognitive profiles of different types of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and follow their course over time. Would it be possible to differentiate between ?benign? and ?malign? forms of MCI, and identify different dementia disorders in their prodromal stages by means of cognitive profiles? In study I consecutive MCI subjects (N=112) were assessed with a neuropsyhological test battery of 21 tests. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by tau and amyloid brain pathology. With the gradual degeneration of neurons, cognitive symptoms will arise and the affected individual will eventually develop AD dementia. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Development of dementia in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients with focus on B-vitamins

    Författare :Sylvia Annerbo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focused on the importance of low B-vitamins, hyperhomocysteinemia and the development of dementia and Alzheimer´s disease (AD) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The relation between vitamin B12 /folate and dementia has been extensively investigated, but the results are inconsistent. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to increase knowledge about people with MCI or dementia and their significant others, particularly as users of everyday technology and assistive technology (AT). The overall aim included increasing knowledge about the interactions between people with MCI or dementia and their significant others, and technology. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Managing technology in everyday activities : a study of older adults with dementia, MCI, and no cognitive impairment

    Författare :Camilla Malinowsky; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Alzheimer’s disease;

    Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to generate new knowledge of the ability to manage technology in everyday life activities among older adults with or without cognitive impairment, how this ability can be assessed, and how knowledge of this can be translated into healthcare practice. In Study I the psychometric properties of the Management of Everyday Technology Assessment (META) were investigated using a Rasch rating scale model. LÄS MER
