  1. N-terminal and mid-region tau fragments as fluid biomarkers in neurological diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2022-08-01 Biomarkers

    After analytical validation, the diagnostic performance of these biomarkers was evaluated in CSF and compared with the Innotest total tau (and as proof of concept, with N-p-tau181 and N-p-tau217) in three clinical cohorts (n = 342 total).

  2. A systematic review of neurological symptoms and complications of COVID-19

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 78 out of 100. Journal of neurology 2020-07-20 Tau biomarkers

    The most frequent neurological symptoms reported in association with COVID-19 are non-specific for the infection with SARS-CoV-2.

  3. Consensus guidelines for lumbar puncture in patients with neurological diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2017-05-18 Tau biomarkers

    When an LP is performed correctly, the procedure is well tolerated and accepted with a low complication rate.
