   Nyckelord :Coronary heart disease; stroke; cardiovascular disease; life course; conscription cohort; childhood circumstances; socioeconomic positions; behaviours;

   Sammanfattning : The general aim of the thesis was to study how socioeconomic and behaviour-related factors measured in childhood, late adolescence or adulthood are related to coronary heart diseae (CHD) and stroke in middle age among Swedish men.

   Författare :Eva Lindqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to expand the knowledge base for a better understanding of how persons diagnosed with dementia or stroke become users of assistive technology for cognitive support in everyday life. In Study I, identified difficulties in everyday life related to cognition were matched with a specific type of modifiable context-aware assistive technology with the aim of identifying what types of tasks the assistive technology could support.

5. 14. Hyperglycemia in Experimental Cerebral Ischemia

   Författare :Maria Molnar; Fredrik Lennmyr; Sten Lindahl; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; brain ischemia; cardiac arrest; cytokines; gene expression; glucose; hyperglycemia; microarray; oxidative stress; pigs; rats; reperfusion; resuscitation S100β; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Cerebral ischemia is a life-threatening condition associated with a substantial morbidity and mortality. Hyperglycemia, a common coexisting phenomenon in both stroke and cardiac arrest (CA), may further aggravate ischemic brain injury. To date, the therapeutic possibilities are lim-ited and the search for new treatment modalities is warranted. LÄS MER

7. 15. Facilitation of recovery after ischaemic stroke : early dexamphetamine and physiotherapy treatment

   Nyckelord :Stroke; cerebral infarct; dexamphetamine; physiotherapy; recovery; safety; efficacy; pharmacokinetics; meta-analysis;

   Sammanfattning : Purpose: The overall aims of the thesis were to investigate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of dexamphetamine (d-amph) after cerebral infarct, and the effects of different amounts of physiotherapy in combination with d-amph on recovery, early after cerebral infarct in patients with severe stroke. Patients and methods: The thesis is based on three studies on patients in the department of Neurology, Karolinska Hospital, Sweden, and on one meta-analysis based on data collected from previously published studies.
