    Sammanfattning : Bakgrund: Demens drabbar en stor del av den äldre befolkningen och antalet insjuknade väntas stadigt stiga. Det finns i dagsläget ingen sjukdomsbotande behandling och etiologin är oklar. Hypotalamus-hypofys-binjurebark (HPA)-axeln är ett neuroendokrint system som aktiveras vid exponering för endo- respektive exogena stressorer. LÄS MER

  3. 22. A Single-Nucleus RNA Sequencing Analysis of HERVs and LINE1s in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Författare :Stein Acker; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that make up roughly 50% of the human genome, with retrotransposons (or transposons which retrotranspose via an RNA intermediate) making up the vast majority of these elements. Recent studies have suggested that TEs could play a role in many neurological conditions, including ALS and dementia. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Probing Gray Matter Microstructure in Alzheimer’s Disease using Diffusion MRI

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Författare :Teresa Scheidt; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia. Apart from an early and accurate diagnosis, the ability to track progressive changes is important for the development of disease modifying treatments. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Growing memories : a research-based design proposal for Björklunden dementia facility

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Sammanfattning : Access to outdoor environments at dementia institutions can help maintain and improve mental and physical well-being. There have been several beneficial aspects identified in research such as lowering stress and agitation and studies suggest that familiar plants with their sensory traits may help people with dementia recall memories.
