   Sammanfattning : Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common, progressive neurodegenerative disorder, recognized by the motor symptoms of bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity, and postural impairment. At clinical onset, extensive amounts of dopaminergic neurons have already been lost. LÄS MER

3. 2. Aspects of Parkinson's disease. Epidemiology, risk factors and ECT in advanced disease

   Nyckelord :Parkinson s disease; PD; treatment; epidemiology; electroconvulsive therapy; ECT; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose was to investigate some aspects of epidemiology, risk factors and treatment with ECT in advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD).In study I, we performed a descriptive epidemiologic population-based survey in the Central Health Care District in Östergötland in south-east Sweden, with a population of almost 150,000 inhabitants 1989.

4. 3. Functional brain imaging of cognitive status in Parkinson's disease

   Författare :Urban Ekman; Johan Eriksson; Lars Nyberg; Lars Forsgren; Oury Monchi; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson’s disease; functional MRI; Mild cognitive impairment; Working memory; Parkinson’s disease dementia; BOLD;

   Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is next to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) the second most common neurodegenerative disease. PD has traditionally been characterised as a motor disorder, but more recent research has revealed that cognitive impairments are frequent. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : A challenge for the clinical management of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the large within- and between-patient variability in symptom profiles as well as the emergence of motor complications which represent a significant source of disability in patients. This thesis deals with the development and evaluation of methods and systems for supporting the management of PD by using repeated measures, consisting of subjective assessments of symptoms and objective assessments of motor function through fine motor tests (spirography and tapping), collected by means of a telemetry touch screen device.

7. 5. Mobile systems for monitoring Parkinson's disease

   Författare :Mevludin Memedi; Peter Funk; Jerker Westin; Mark Dougherty; Silvia Coradeschi; Martin Gellerstedt; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Home assessments; Parkinson‟s disease; mobile computing technology; e-diary; discrete wavelet transform; principal component analysis; Information technology; Informationsteknologi; E-MOTIONS; Beslutsstöd för Parkinsonbehandling;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the development and evaluation of IT-based methods and systems for supporting assessment of symptoms and enabling remote monitoring of Parkinson‟s disease (PD) patients. PD is a common neurological disorder associated with impaired body movements. LÄS MER
