   Författare :Carsten Tjell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Whiplash associated disorders; neck propriocepdon; oculomotor function; smooth pursuit eye movements; velocity gain; tension headache; cervical vertigo; auditory brainstem response; vestibular tests; hearing impairment; speech recognition; reading ability; cognitive function;

   Sammanfattning : Whiplash is caused by an acceleration-/deceleration transfer of energy to the neck. It commonly occurs in motor vehicle accidents. The force may result in lesions of the cervical spine and soft tissues, which may result in many clinical manifestations: whiplash associated disorders (WAD), according to the Quebec classification.

   Sammanfattning : Modern healthcare is the result of scientific advancement across disciplines and has enabled us to understand the rationale behind many diseases and how to treat or cure them; but still a myriad of unanswered questions remains. Especially infectious diseases play an important role in healthcare as they pose a constant threat for global health and well-being. LÄS MER

4. 13. On diagnostic procedures in pulmonary embolism

   Författare :Mårten Söderberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :CTPA; D-dimer; deep venous thrombosis; pre-test probability score; pulmonary arteriography; pulmonary embolism; venous thromboembolism; von Willebrand factor antigen; Wells score.;

   Sammanfattning : Pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) are two entities of venous thromboembolism (VTE). PE is a common cause of mortality and morbidity. The symptoms and signs of PE are difficult to interpret, and the diagnosis is difficult to establish. LÄS MER

5. 14. Biomarkers as Monitors of Drug Effect, Diagnostic Tools and Predictors of Deterioration Rate in Alzheimer’s Disease

   Författare :Malin Degerman Gunnarsson; Lena Kilander; Hans Basun; Jan Marcusson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; biomarkers; CSF; PIB PET; amyloid-beta; tau; rapid cognitive decline; dying in severe dementia; mortality; neuropsychological tests; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Sammanfattning : Decreased amyloid-ß42 (Aß42), increased total tau (t-tau) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reflect histopathological core changes in the most common dementia disorder, Alzheimer’s disease (AD). They discriminate AD from healthy controls and predict conversion to AD with a relatively high accuracy. LÄS MER

7. 15. Diagnosing colorectal cancer in primary care : the value of symptoms, faecal immunochemical tests, faecal calprotectin and anaemia

   Författare :Cecilia Högberg; Mikael Lilja; Jörgen Månsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; faecal immunochemical tests; faecal calprotectin; anaemia; symptomatic patients; rectal bleeding; primary care;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in men and the second most common in women worldwide. Adenomas can be precursors to CRC, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can present with the same symptoms as CRC. The majority of patients with CRC initially consult primary care. LÄS MER
