  1. Media Coverage of the Benefits and Harms of Testing the Healthy: a protocol for a descriptive study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. BMJ open 2019-08-24 Biomarkers

    Much testing in medicine is aimed at healthy people to facilitate the early detection of health conditions.

  2. CSF T-Tau/Aβ42 predicts white matter microstructure in healthy adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. PloS one 2012-06-06 Biomarkers

    Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers T-Tau and Aβ(42) are linked with Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet little is known about the relationship between CSF biomarkers and structural brain alteration in healthy adults.

  3. Tau and Abeta42 in cerebrospinal fluid from healthy adults 21-93 years of age: establishment of reference values

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Clinical chemistry 2001-10-01 Tau biomarkers

    These reference values can be applied when using CSF-tau and CSF-Abeta42 in clinical practice.
