Classifying dementia using local binary patterns from different regions in magnetic resonance images
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Dementia is an evolving challenge in society, and no disease-modifying treatment exists. Diagnosis can be demanding and MR imaging may aid as a noninvasive method to increase prediction accuracy. We explored the use of 2D ... -
Clinical and neuroimaging prognostic markers in Alzheimer's Disease and Lewy Body Dementia: The role of muscle status and nutrition
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Alzheimer's Disease and Lewy body dementia are the two most common neurodegenerative dementias. They have a progressive course with devastating consequences for the people living with these diseases and their families, but ... -
The ePark study protocol: A decentralized trial of individual video-assisted cognitive behavioural therapy for depressive disorder in Parkinson's disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-04)Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting 1.2 million Europeans [1]. The prevalence of PD in people over 60 is about 1%, increasing to 4% in people 80 years and older [2]. ... -
Genetic risk scores and hallucinations in patients with Parkinson disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07)Objective We examine the hypothesized overlap of genetic architecture for Alzheimer disease (AD), schizophrenia (SZ), and Parkinson disease (PD) through the use of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) with the occurrence of ... -

Investigation of the enantioselectivity of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase upon inhibition by tacrine-iminosugar heterodimers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-09)The copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition was applied to prepare three enantiomeric pairs of heterodimers containing a tacrine residue and a 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-arabinitol (DAB) or 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-L-arabinitol ... -
Tongue muscle mass is associated with total grey matter and hippocampal volumes in Dementia with Lewy Bodies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02)Background Age-related neurodegeneration, sarcopenia, and ectopic fat accumulation are conditions with shared pathways that remain poorly understood. We have measured muscle volume and fat accumulation in masseter and ... -
White Matter Lesions and Pattern Recognition in MRI of Neurodegenerative Dementia
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2016-11-03)Introduction Expected age is increasing globally and dementia is a common outcome for an increasing number of people. Dementia is a demanding syndrome for the patient and the environment as well as it is costly for ...
