  1. Investigation of Whole and Glandular Saliva as a Biomarker for Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Brain sciences 2022-05-03 Biomarkers

    Salivary Aβ40, Aβ42, t-tau, and p -tau 181 are commonly employed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) investigations.

  2. Investigation of the Number of Tests Required for Assaying Plasma Biomarkers Associated with Alzheimer's Disease Using Immunomagnetic Reduction

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Neurology and therapy 2021-09-13 Biomarkers

    Based on this study, a single assay of Aβ 1-40 , Aβ 1-42 and T-Tau, respectively, provides reliable results in terms of the measurement of that plasma biomarker.

  3. Smokers show an increased risk of dementia, and smoking cessation decreases the risk to that of never smokers.

  4. Older age does not limit postbariatric surgery cognitive benefits: a preliminary investigation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery 2014-04-18 Cognitive tests and assessment

    The present study provides preliminary evidence suggesting that older age does not preclude postbariatric surgery cognitive benefits.
