  1. 1. Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Alzheimer's Disease: Associations with Beta Amyloid and Potential New Cutoff Points on Neuropsychiatric Assessment Scales

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Författare :David Christopher Wimmer; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Alzheimer s disease; dementia; neuropsychiatric symptoms; apathy; cognitively healthy; cognitively impaired; ROC analysis; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Neuropsychiatric Symptoms (NPS) have been shown to be associated with Alzheimer's disease ( AD). They negatively affect disease outcome and could play a future role in the detection of prospective AD cases. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Detection and quantification of post-translational modifications in non-invasive samples : Phosphoproteins as biomarkers and a market analysis of protein quantification technologies

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Sammi Baudin; Hillevi Fjellström; Aron Kraft; Erica Lamberg; Måns Rosenbaum; Hanna Sjöstrand; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Phorphorylation; Proteomics; Biomarkers; Phosphoproteins; PTM; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS; Alzheimer s disease; Parkinson s disease; Cancer; xMAP; SIMOA; NULISA; PEA; ELISA; Mass spectrometry; SomaScan;

    Sammanfattning : Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins can be a sign and/or cause of disease. These modified proteins have the potential to be used as biomarkers for diagnostic purposes. However, research in the field is limited. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Fluorescent molecules as probes for characterization of amyloid β fibrils

    Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Författare :Denisse Marginean; Ebba Hellstrand; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Alzheimer s disease; amyloid beta; amyloid; fluorescent probes; fluorescent ligands;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in the world and the World Health Organization has recognized AD as a global public health priority. One of the pathological hallmarks of AD is amyloid plaques formed from amyloid β (Aβ) fibrils. Aβ is formed when amyloid precursor protein is cleaved by secretase enzymes. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Influence of T1 and T2 weighted MRI images on automated  diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease

    Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Författare :Arnold Teo; Daniel Tsada Yosief; [2021]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and according to the World Health Organization it contributes to 60-70% of the approximately 50 million total worldwide dementia cases. While AD is easy to diagnose from a patient’s symptoms alone, due to AD atrophying brain tissue, a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan can strengthen the diagnosis. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Prioritization of Informative Regions in PET Scans for Classification of Alzheimer's Disease

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

    Författare :Fredrik Mårtensson; Erik Westberg; [2021]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a widespread neurodegenerative disease. The disease causes brain atrophy, resulting in memory loss, decreased cognitive ability, and eventually death. There is currently no cure for the disease, but treatment may delay the onset. Therefore, it is crucial to detect the disease at an early stage. LÄS MER
