  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Rules of Thumb and Management of Common Infections in General Practice

    Författare :Malin André; Norbert Donner-Banzhoff; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; General practice; rules of thumb; decision making; respiratory tract infections; urinary tract infections; diagnostic tests; C-reactive protein test; antibiotic prescribing; Urology and andrology; Urologi och andrologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with problem solving of general practitioners (GPs), which is explored with different methods and from different perspectives. The general aim was to explore and describe rules of thumb and to analyse the management of respiratory and urinary tract infections (RTI and UTI) in general practice in Sweden. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Treatment of Respiratory Tract Infections in Primary Care with special emphasis on Acute Otitis Media

    Författare :Thomas Neumark; Sigvard Mölstad; Lars Brudin; Morten Lindbaek; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :General practice; respiratory tract infections; acute otitis media; rapid diagnostic tests; CRP; Strep-A; electronic patient records; physician consultations; antibiotic prescription; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Most respiratory tract infections (RTI) are self-limiting. Despite this, they are associated with high antibiotic prescription rates in general practice in Sweden. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the management of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) with particular emphasis on acute otitis media (AOM). LÄS MER

  5. 4. A Rapid Differential Diagnostic Method for Detection of Post-Neurosurgical Infections

    Författare :Amir Ramezani; Annette Theodorsson; Aki Laakso; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This work pertains to the application of a biochemical assay with the purpose of monitoring for and early discovery of an active bacterial infection through direct sampling and rapid testing of the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). A diagnostic device is described and evaluated, which aids in quickly discerning, verifying, or ruling out active infection at the injury site. LÄS MER

  7. 5. 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
