  2. 16. The search for reversibility of Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus : Aspects on intracranial pressure measurments and CSF volume alteration

    Author : Niklas Lenfeldt; Jan Malm; Anders Eklund; Katrine Riklund-Åhlström; John D. Pickard; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; intracranial pressure; subcortical ischemia; neuronal integrity; cortical activation.; infusion test; cerebrospinal fluid dynamics; outflow resistance; compliance; elastance; proton spectroscopy; functional MRI; external lumbar drainage; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) is still a syndrome generating more questions than answers. Today, research focuses mainly on two areas: understanding the pathophysiology – especially how the malfunctioning CSF system affects the brain parenchyma – and finding better methods to select patients benefiting from a shunt operation.

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Levodopa is mainly used to manage the motor symptoms of PD. However, disease progression and long-term use of levodopa cause reduced medication efficacy and side effects. When that happens, precise individualized dosing schedules are required. READ MORE

  5. 18. Parkinson's Disease with Device, Diary, or in Disguise. Dyskinesia reduction, motor state evaluation, and workforce participation among persons with Parkinson's disease

    Author : Jonathan Timpka; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurology; Parkinson disease; Levodopa infusion; Motor fluctuations; Dyskinesia; Workforce participation; Work ability; Sickness absence; Employment; Patient reported outcome;

    Abstract : INTRODUCTION: In the wait for disease-modifying treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD), efforts towards improved symptom control and reduced negative effects of PD can result in meaningful change patients. The general efficacy of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) in advanced PD has been established, but its effects on dyskinesia need more investigation. READ MORE

  6. 19. Framing and Overflowing : How the Infusion of Information Technology Alters Proximal Service Production

    Abstract : In the heyday of the Internet, there was a wide-spread, not so well grounded, euphoria about the prospects of the Internet for virtualising various service activities. However, by now, a more informed understanding is emerging. READ MORE

  7. 20. Assessment of cerebrospinal fluid system dynamics : novel infusion protocol, mathematical modelling and parameter estimation for hydrocephalus investigations

    Author : Kennet Andersson; Anders Eklund; Karin Wårdell; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicinsk teknik; hydrocefalus; infusionstest; utflödeskonduktans; systemidentifiering; Medical technology; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : Patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) have a disturbance in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) system. The treatment is neurosurgical – a shunt is placed in the CSF system. The infusion test is used to assess CSF system dynamics and to aid in the selection of patients that will benefit from shunt surgery. READ MORE
