Abstract: In the present study we describe an ELISA to quantify light subunit of neurofilament triplet protein (NFL) in CSF. The method was validated by measuring CSF NFL concentrations healthy individuals and two well‐characterized groups patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) Alzheimer's disease (AD). levels were increased ALS (1,743 ± 1,661 ng/L; mean SD) AD (346 176 ng/L) compared controls (138 31 p < 0.0001 for both). Within group, lower motor neuron signs only had (360...
Retrospective studies have found that patients receiving general anesthesia for endovascular treatment in acute ischemic stroke worse neurological outcome compared with conscious sedation. In this prospective randomized single-center study, we investigated the impact of technique on patients.Ninety 2013 to 2016 were included and or Difference at 3 months, measured as modified Rankin Scale score, was analyzed (primary outcome) early improvement National Institutes Health Stroke cerebral...
Here, we present two different brain diagnostic devices based on microwave technology and the associated first proof-of-principle measurements that show systems can differentiate hemorrhagic from ischemic stroke in acute patients, as well patients healthy volunteers. The system was scattering with an antenna worn head. Measurement data were analyzed a machine-learning algorithm is training using known condition. Computer tomography images used reference. detection methodology evaluated...
Patients with myocardial infarction (MI) seldom reach recommended targets for secondary prevention. This study evaluated a smartphone application ("app") aimed at improving treatment adherence and cardiovascular lifestyle in MI patients.Multicenter, randomized trial.A total of 174 ticagrelor-treated patients were to either an interactive patient support tool (active group) or simplified (control addition usual post-MI care. Primary end point was composite nonadherence score measuring...
Background and Purpose— In retrospective studies, patients receiving general anesthesia for endovascular treatment acute ischemic stroke have worse neurological outcome compared with conscious sedation. It has been suggested that this is caused by anesthesia–associated hypotension. We investigated the effect of intraprocedural hypotension on outcome. Methods— One hundred eight stroke, who underwent in between 2007 2012, were included. Analyzed predictors age, sex, comorbidities, baseline...
Genomic medicine has paved the way for identifying biomarkers and therapeutically actionable targets complex diseases, but is complicated by involvement of thousands variably expressed genes across multiple cell types. Single-cell RNA-sequencing study (scRNA-seq) allows characterization such changes in whole organs. The based on applying network tools to organize analyze scRNA-seq data from a mouse model arthritis human rheumatoid arthritis, order find diagnostic therapeutic targets....
Abstract More reliable tools are needed for the differentiation of Parkinson's disease (PD) from other parkinsonian disorders. The neurofilament protein (NFL) and glial fibrillary acidic (GFAP) main structural proteins axons astroglial cells. By using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays, these were quantified in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 49 patients referred to Department Neurology diagnostic consideration or treatment parkinsonism different etiologies. All first diagnostically evaluated by...
Female patients with congestive heart failure: how they conceive their life situation ¶Congestive failure (CHF) is a significant health problem for women, particularly elderly women. The risk factors appear to be different in women than men, hypertension and diabetes playing greater role ischaemic disease men. aim of this study was describe, from nurse’s perspective, female CHF situation. Interview questions were designed focus on five dimensions: biophysical, socio‐cultural, emotional,...
Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) are an extensive group in Sweden both regard to prevalence and number of medical care events. As the age population survival after myocardial infarction increasing, incidence CHF is also on rise. The aim this study describe, from a nurse's perspective, how male patients conceive their life situation. Interview questions were designed focus five dimensions: biophysical, sociocultural, emotional, intellectual, spiritual‐existential. A qualitative...
Long term stress exposure is typical for modern societies and might trigger different diseases. This case-control study reveals that persons who had suffered an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) elevated cortisol concentrations in the month before event. Middle-aged patients admitted to cardiology clinics with (n = 174) were compared 3156 controls from a population-based cohort southeast Sweden. The median Hair Cortisol Concentrations (HCC) those AMI was 53.2 pg/mg 22.2 control group (p <...
Abstract Stroke is a major public health problem that can cause long-term disability or death due to brain damage. Serious stroke frequently caused by large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation, which should be treated endovascular embolectomy if possible. In this study, we investigated use of damage biomarkers tau, NFL, NSE, GFAp, and S100B understand progression nervous tissue their relationship outcome such after treatment. Blood samples were taken from 90 patients pre-treatment 2...
Background: Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM) is a distinct variant of (HCM). Few studies have focused on the genetic determinants this subtype. We aimed to investigate basis apical hypertrophy in Swedish cohort. Methods–Results: Longitudinal data 58 unrelated index patients with ApHCM from Southeast healthcare region Sweden 2010 2024 were assessed retrospectively. Additionally, original raw testing re-evaluated using AI-based Emedgene software. Patients 47 ± 14 years old, and 60%...
Abstract The precise mechanism for the neurotoxicity of 2, 5‐hexanedione is not known, but cross‐linking neurofilament proteins has been suggested as one possibility. In this study effects long‐term exposure to were studied in rat nervous system with special reference regional changes quantities neuronal and glial intermediate filaments. Using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays concentrations 68‐ 200‐kDa polypeptides shown be reduced all brain regions studied. Similar results obtained...
