Causes of adolescent onset anorexia nervosa: patient perspectivesKarin Nilsson
Department of Clinical Science, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Umea University, Umea, Sweden
Eat Disord 15:125-33. 2007..Most common were high own demands and perfectionism. At the second follow-up there were more answers in the family categories. The results agreed with results from risk-factor research...
Elevated plasma homocysteine concentration in elderly patients with mental illness is mainly related to the presence of vascular disease and not the diagnosisKarin Nilsson
Department of Psychogeriatrics, Clinical Science, Division of Clinical Chemistry, Lund University Hospital, Lund, Sweden
Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord 24:162-8. 2007....

Department of Psychogeriatrics, Clinical Science, Lund University Hospital, Lund, Sweden
Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord 22:358-66. 2006..The present study also shows that at plasma tHcy levels below 14 micromol/l, the likelihood of cobalamin/folate deficiency is small and further investigation of cobalamin/folate status could be omitted...

Department of Psychogeriatrics, Division of Clinical Chemistry, University Hospital, Lund, Sweden
Clin Chem Lab Med 42:637-43. 2004..The use of holoTC in the present study group did not give significant additional information other than that given by serum cobalamin and therefore cannot be recommended in this clinical setting...
