  2. 11. Magnetic resonance imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease in an elderly population – association with cardiovascular disease and cognitive function

    Author : Ruta Nylander; Elna-Marie Larsson; Mona K. Beyer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Magnetic resonance imaging; cerebral perfusion; small vessel disease; cognitive function; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Abstract : Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is identifiable by clinical, neuroimaging, neuropathological and cognitive findings.The aim of this thesis was to assess SVD and cerebral perfusion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a 75-year-old population and compare the findings with scars of myocardial infarctions, cardiovascular risk markers and cognitive function.

    Keywords : PROX1; Histology; MRI; PET; Epilepsy; Co-registration; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Abstract : Gliomas are derived from glial cells and are the most common type of primary brain tumors in adults. Gliomas are classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) according to their malignancy grade and histological and molecular features. Malignancy grades range from I to IV. WHO grade I tumors are benign tumors, mostly occurring in childhood. READ MORE

  5. 13. Short- and long-term consequences of sport-related concussion

    Author : Fredrik Vedung; Niklas Marklund; Gunnar Antoni; Elna-Marie Larsson; Jakob Johansson; Alexander Olsen; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Concussions are common in contact sports. Symptoms such as confusion and/or loss of consciousness following an impact to the head indicate that a sport-related concussion (SRC) has occurred. The symptoms normally resolve within 10-14 days following an SRC in adults although at least 10 % of athletes suffer from prolonged symptoms. READ MORE

  6. 14. Analysis of regional atrophy on brain imaging compared with cognitive function in the elderly and in patients with dementia – cross-sectional and longitudinal evaluation

    Author : Vilma Velickaite; Elna-Marie Larsson; Eric Westman; Lena Kilander; Kathinka Kurz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dementia; Brain Imaging; Visual rating; Volumetry; Cognition;

    Abstract : During aging, brain changes are not homogeneous throughout the entire brain, but are related to changes in the morphology of neurons, as well as to changes in the tissue density, and are specific to each region of the brain. Dementia is a broad category of brain disorders with a set of symptoms including memory, visual-spatial and language problems. READ MORE

  7. 15. Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus : Cerebrospinal Fluid Tap Test and Magnetic Resonance Imaging as Preoperative Prognostic Investigations

    Author : Johan Virhammar; Elna-Marie Larsson; Katarina Laurell; Kristina Giuliana Cesarini; Magnus Tisell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; normal pressure hydrocephalus; NPH; cerebrospinal fluid disorders; dementia; MRI; CSF tap test; CBF; ASL; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurosurgery; Neurokirurgi; Radiologi; Radiology;

    Abstract : Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a condition with dilated cerebral ventricles but intracranial pressure within normal limits. The symptoms of gait impairment, cognitive decline and urinary incontinence develop gradually. Treatment with shunt insertion results in improvement in eight out of ten patients. READ MORE
