Abstract:
Research has showed that different light scenarios have a profound effect on hospitalized bipolar patients. Different light situations decrease the hospital stay for patients during both manic and depressive episodes. Nevertheless, a field study carried out during this thesis work of two arbitrary patient rooms in Swedish behavioral health clinics showed no incorporation of this knowledge in the light design of the rooms. Both patient rooms had insufficient light levels both in terms of circadian recommendations and perceived brightness. Hence this thesis suggests an improved light design for

Abstract:
Inherited retinal dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of retinal diseases that often lead to blindness. The diverse range of causative gene mutations poses great challenges to developing therapies to improve the vision of affected people. One technique being investigated is optogenetics for vision restoration, a technique that aims to deliver light-sensitising molecules to the affected retina. This research project provides data on a range of variables that need to be optimised in order to successfully restore vision using an optogenetic gene therapy approach.

Abstract:
Interstellar dust plays an important role in the physics of the interstellar medium, as well as the formation and evolution of stars. The presence of dust is often indicated in optical images by dark lanes which bisect spiral galaxies, or seen directly as reflection nebulosity around stars or emission nebulosity if sufficient heating is present. Of interest in this thesis is the dust that is associated with bipolar outflow sources. Bipolar outflows can occur in either evolved stars or in young stellar objects, and are so named because they consist of two lobes which are thought to be due to ou

Abstract:
The retina is able to adjust its signaling over a wide range of light levels. A functional result of this is increased visual acuity at brighter luminance levels, such as during the day, due to changes in the organization of retinal receptive fields. This process is commonly referred to as light adaptation. These organizational changes have been shown to occur at the level of the ganglion cells, the output neurons of the retina, which have shifts in their excitatory center-inhibitory surround receptive fields that increase their sensitivity to small stimuli. Recent work supports the idea that

These tools have opened a door to an era of tremendous discovery. Homo sapiens has been shown to harbor thousands of species of microbes in tissue and blood that were previously undetectable.

A investigação da fisiopatologia do transtorno bipolar em pacientes no início da doença é uma estratégia para evitar um potencial efeito de confusão associado à duração da doença, presença de múltiplos episódios de alteração do humor e tratamento medicamentoso. Nosso objetivo foi investigar, in vivo, metabólitos neuronais do hipocampo de portadores de transtorno afetivo bipolar (TAB) usando a espectroscopia por ressonância magnética de próton (1H-ERM) logo após o seu primeiro episódio de mania. Para isso, foram estudados cinqüenta e oito pacientes com TAB tipo I, classificados de acordo com os

AbstraktTitel: Upplevelser av att leva med en person med bipolär sjukdom - ett familjeperspektiv – En litteraturstudie. Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa och sjukdom är idag så vanligt förekommande att det räknas som ett folkhälsoproblem, men det finns fortfarande fördomar och stigmatisering kvar kring bilden av psykisk ohälsa. Ofta är det närstående som vårdar sina psykiskt sjuka anhöriga och sjukvårdspersonal behöver bli bättre på att möta närstående i vården och ta tillvara på deras kompetens och kunskap. Inom psykiatrin har det visat sig att närstående fortfarande kan känna sig utanför och att de u

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Bipolär sjukdom är vanlig i världen och det blir vanligare i Sverige att personer med sjukdomen söker vård, både inom öppenvården och slutenvården. Omvårdnaden riktar in sig på att stödja och vägleda i hantering av symptom och sjukdomstecken. Hälsoutbildning har visats kunna fördröja återinsjuknandet och en personcentrerad vårdplan likaså. Många med bipolär sjukdom är odiagnostiserade och sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll i att bidra till att uppmärksamma dessa, för att kunna ge en god omvårdnad. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa personers upplevelser och erfarenheter av att leva med bipo

Abstract:
In this thesis circadian rhythm alterations in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are taken into account, in particular concerning the early stage of disease. In the first part of this 3-year work the research was focused on determining the circadian phase in early AD patients using subjective and objective measures: clinical scales, sleep-wake diaries, salivary melatonin determination (DLMO), phase angles between sleep and melatonin onset. To achieved this goal we performed a case-control observational study comparing the circadian phase of early AD patients elderly healthy controls (Hc). The main resu

Abstract:
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a slow and progressive neurodegenerative disorder.With new treatment strategies failing in clinical trials, there is a need to initiate a targeted treatment strategy, by administering the right medication, to the right individual, at the right stage. This concept of precision medicine not only requires diagnosis at the preclinical stage, but a thorough understanding of the stage-associated neuropathological changes that occur along the continuum of AD. Pathophysiological biomarkers indicative of neuropathological changes in the brain are needed to identify the precl

La méthylation de l'ADN est un processus vital pour le développement des mammifères. Sa distribution anormale,notamment au niveau des régions répétées du génome, est une signature pathologique. La découverte de maladies héréditaires touchant la stabilité du génome a permis des avancées considérables dans l'identification des acteurs et des mécanismes. Nous avons choisi d'étudier le syndrome ICF (Immunodéficience, instabilité Centromérique et anomalies Faciales), première maladie génétique identifiée avec des défauts de la méthylation de l’ADN, liés à une instabilité chromosomique.
