  1. Estimates of Current Capacity for Diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease in Sweden and the Need to Expand Specialist Numbers

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease 2024-01-01 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Initial average waiting times for AD specialist appointments would be around 21 months in 2023 and remain around 55 months through 2042, as demand would continue to outstrip supply throughout the 20-year model horizon.

  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. Diabetic phenotype in mouse and humans reduces the number of microglia around β-amyloid plaques

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Molecular neurodegeneration 2020-11-10 TREM2 and immune genetics

    To evaluate whether the mouse model-derived results translate to human patients, the effects of diabetic phenotype on microglial pathology were assessed in cortical biopsies of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients encompassing β-amyloid pathology.

  4. Synaptic contact number and size in stratum radiatum CA1 of APP/PS1DeltaE9 transgenic mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2008-03-11 Biomarkers

    Synaptic changes occur early in the course of Alzheimer's disease and are key to understanding the initial events in associated neurodegenerative processes.
