  1. 21. Understanding preclinical dementia : early detection of dementia through cognitive and biological markers

    Författare :Nicola Maria Payton; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Dementia is becoming a growing healthcare crisis, therefore identifying individuals at risk or in the earliest stages of dementia is essential if prevention or disease modification is to be achieved. The objective of this thesis was to examine cognitive performance and decline during the preclinical phase and explore the ability of cognitive and biological markers to identify those at risk of future dementia.

    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; statistics; mathematics; prostate cancer; missing data; survival analysis; longitudinal models; incidence; treatment; mortality; Mathematical Statistics; Matematisk statistik; Statistics; Statistik; Urologi; Urology; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : The diagnostic activity for prostate cancer has increased substantially in Sweden, primarily due to increased use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in asymptomatic men, and this has led to a large increase in diagnoses. There have also been changes in the diagnostic workup, guidelines, treatment strategies, and more effective treatments have been introduced in different phases of the disease. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Inflammatory markers and prognosis in acute coronary syndromes

    Författare :Anna M Jansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :acute coronary syndrome;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Inflammation both accelerates atherosclerosis and contributes to the activation and rupture of the atherosclerotic plaque. Several markers of inflammation, such as CRP, have shown prognostic merit in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). LÄS MER
