  1. Amyloid beta peptide ratio 42/40 but not A beta 42 correlates with phospho-Tau in patients with low- and high-CSF A beta 40 load

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2007-01-24 Tau biomarkers

    Neurochemical dementia diagnostics (NDD) can significantly improve the clinically based categorization of patients with early dementia disorders, and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of amyloid beta peptides ending at the amino acid position of 42 (A beta x-42 and A beta 1-42) are widely accepted biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Longitudinal cerebrospinal fluid tau load increases in mild cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 2002-11-01 Biomarkers

    Cross-sectional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of tau and amyloid (A) beta (beta) are of diagnostic importance for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

  3. High viral load in the cerebrospinal fluid and brain correlates with severity of simian immunodeficiency virus encephalitis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of virology 1999-12-01 Tau biomarkers

    AIDS dementia and encephalitis are complications of AIDS occurring most frequently in patients who are immunosuppressed.

  4. Relationship between human immunodeficiency virus-associated dementia and viral load in cerebrospinal fluid and brain

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Annals of neurology 1997-11-01 Tau biomarkers

    Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) RNA levels were measured with the Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification (NASBA) assay to determine the relationship with neurological status; 37 subjects with HIV dementia (HIV-D) were compared with 77 with HIV with minor neurological signs (HIV-MCMD) and 93 neurologically normal HIV-seropositive individuals (HIV-NML).
