  1. 1. ARIA-E vid behandling av Alzheimers sjukdom med monoklonala antikroppar

    Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemi och biomedicin (KOB)

    Författare :Anna Hall; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Alzheimers sjukdom; aducanumab; lecanemab; gantanerumab; donanemab; ARIA-E; Apolipoprotein E4 ApoE4 ; cerebral amyloid angiopathy CAA ; screening; amyloid beta; monoklonala antikroppar;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that initially manifests itself primarily as impaired short-term memory and impaired language ability. The course of the disease is mainly due to an atrophy in the brain that can be attributed to the protein amyloid B and tau. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Lion’s mane mushroom : A fungus to remember, a novel venture into dementia therapy

    Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Författare :Sophia Datsen; [2022]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : As life expectancy increases globally, so does the prevalence of age-related diseases, some of which are more difficult to adapt to and accommodate for than others. In particular, neurodegenerative disorders are among those for which adaptations are more complex, often requiring long-term care. LÄS MER

  4. 3. 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. 4. FDG PET and MRI as biomarkers of Tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease

    Magister-uppsats, Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Författare :Putu Ayuwidia Ekaputri; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Alzheimer’s disease; fdg pet; mri; tau pet; tau pathology;

    Sammanfattning : Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are commonly used in a clinical setting as an examination in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) patients. FDG PET is an imaging tool to evaluate hypometabolism; meanwhile, the MRI observes the brain volume. 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
