TL;DR: Interestingly, a suggestive linkage between MS and the markers on 17q22-q24 was also revealed by a recent genomewide scan in MS families from the United Kingdom, and was detected by a two-point, parametric linkage analysis using the complete pedigree information of the 21 Finnish multiplex families.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A sample of 8,000 subjects to represent the population of Finland aged 30 years and over was used to identify patients with severe dementia; 141 cases were found and primary degenerative dementia constituted 50% of all cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire as a screening test for dementia and delirium among the elderly.
TL;DR: The SPMSQ proved to be a sensitive and specific screening test for moderate to severe dementia both in the community and hospital and among Finnish elderly people it was not necessary to use correction for education in the test.
Journal ArticleDOI
A putative vulnerability locus to multiple sclerosis maps to 5p14-p12 in a region syntenic to the murine locus Eae2.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a predisposing locus for MS on 5p14–p12, syntenic to the murine locus Eae, which is widely speculated to be a multifactorial disorder with a complex mode of inheritance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dementia among medical inpatients. Evaluation of 2000 consecutive admissions.
TL;DR: Two thousand consecutive patients aged 55 years and older admitted to a department of medicine in a large university hospital were examined for the presence of dementia, finding that demented patients needed significantly more daily nursing care when compared with nondemented patients.
