  1. Diagnostic performance of plasma p-tau217 in a memory clinic cohort using the Lumipulse automated platform

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2025-03-27 Biomarkers

    Plasma p-tau217 shows excellent results for detecting amyloid pathology at brain level in a clinical setting with an AUC of 0.95.

  2. Accuracy and clinical applicability of plasma tau 181 and 217 for Alzheimer's disease diagnosis in a memory clinic cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Journal of neurology 2025-01-23 Biomarkers

    Plasma tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (p-tau181) and 217 (p-tau217) have demonstrated high accuracy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis, defined by CSF/PET amyloid beta (Aβ) positivity, but most studies have been performed in research cohorts, limiting their generalizability.

  3. Short-term variability of Alzheimer's disease plasma biomarkers in a mixed memory clinic cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2025-01-21 Biomarkers

    We found low intra-individual variability, robust to various factors, appropriate to capture individual changes in AD BBMs, while moderate inter-individual variability may give rise to caution in diagnostic contexts.

  4. The impact of tau-PET in a selected memory clinic cohort: rationale and design of the TAP-TAU study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 69 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2024-10-19 Biomarkers

    In TAP-TAU, we will investigate the added clinical value of tau-PET in a real-world clinical setting, including memory clinic patients with diagnostic uncertainty after routine work-up.

  5. Test-retest reliability and short-term variability of quantitative light reflex pupillometry in a mixed memory clinic cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Journal of the neurological sciences 2023-12-22 Cognitive tests and assessment

    We found good-excellent reliability (ICC range 0.86-0.93) for most qLRP parameters. qLRP parameters exhibited limited intra-subject variability and we found no large sources of variability when examining subgroups.
