    Sammanfattning : Denna avhandling fokuserar på det meningsskapande och begripliggörande som fortgår vid tilltagande demenssjukdom, i det sociala samspelet, och de utmaningar för demens-omsorgen som detta innebär. Studien är aktörsorienterad och adresserar frågan om hur personer med åldersrelaterade progressiva demenssjukdomar i den vardagliga kommuni-kationen söker förstå sina situationer, omgivningen och sina liv – alltsammans inom ra-men för det dagliga samspelet på ett demensboende.

  3. 2. Neurofilament light as a marker for neurodegenerative diseases

    Författare :Niklas Norgren; Torgny Stigbrand; Roland Carlsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; Neurofilament protein; ELISA; Cerebrospinal fluid; Neurodegenerative diseases; Immunologi; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Neurofilaments are the main cytoskeletal constituents in neuronal cells. They are belived to be important for maintaining the structural integrity and calibre of axons and dendrites thereby influencing the conduction velocity of nerve impulses. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Genetics in dementia : impact of sequence variations for families and populations

    Författare :Lina Keller; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Even though the human genome sequences are remarkably similar, there is room for genetic variability that makes every human unique. The most common form of sequence variation in the genome is an exchange of a single nucleotide. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Multiplexed antibody-based protein profiling in the pursuit of CSF biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases

    Författare :Sofia Bergström; Peter Nilsson; Anna Månberg; Markus Otto; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Protein profiling; suspension bead array; cerebrospinal fluid; biomarker discovery; proteomics; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Sammanfattning : There is a desire for a transition from generic treatments designed for the average patient, towards more individual-based precision medicine. An increased knowledge about disease pathophysiology on a molecular level would be beneficial for this transition. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Bone and Aluminium

    Författare :Hans-Olov Hellström; Karl Michaëlsson; Hans Mallmin; Olle Svensson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Surgery; Aluminium; Osteoporosis; Hip fracture; Osteoporotic fracture; Alzheimer´s dementia; Bone mineral density; Bone mineral content; Mortality risk; Biomechanics; Inductively coupled mass spectrometry; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Osteoporosis is a major health care problem, by reason of its devastating consequences, in particular hip fractures. Worldwide it has been estimated that the incidence of hip fracture will increase to more than 6 million per year by 2050 compared to 1.7 million per year in 1990. LÄS MER
