You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

  1. A smartphone-based test for the assessment of attention deficits in delirium: A case-control diagnostic test accuracy study in older hospitalised patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. PloS one 2020-01-24 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Patients with delirium (with or without pre-existing cognitive impairment) perform poorly on the DelApp compared to patients with dementia and those without cognitive impairment.

  2. The human-specific CASP4 gene product contributes to Alzheimer-related synaptic and behavioural deficits

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Human molecular genetics 2016-08-11 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Recent studies have indicated that innate immune signalling molecules are involved in late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) risk.

  3. Over-Expressed Pathogenic miRNAs in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Prion Disease (PrD) Drive Deficits in TREM2-Mediated Aβ42 Peptide Clearance

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2016-06-14 TREM2 and immune genetics

    One prominent and distinguishing feature of progressive, age-related neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and prion disease (PrD) is the gradual accumulation of amyloids into dense, insoluble end-stage protein aggregates.

  4. Reducing endogenous tau ameliorates amyloid beta-induced deficits in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Science (New York, N.Y.) 2007-05-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Many potential treatments for Alzheimer's disease target amyloid-beta peptides (Abeta), which are widely presumed to cause the disease.

  5. Chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency induces dementia-like deficits in aged rats

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain research 1992-06-01 Biomarkers

    Young and aged rats were subjected to cerebrovascular insufficiency (CVI) for 3 and 9 weeks.
