  1. We also sought to clarify intrinsic and extrinsic factors associated with mobility phenotypes for consideration in future studies.

  2. A novel tablet-based software for the acquisition and analysis of gaze and eye movement parameters: a preliminary validation study in Parkinson's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Frontiers in neurology 2023-06-15 Cognitive tests and assessment

    The idea that eye movements can reflect certain aspects of brain function and inform on the presence of neurodegeneration is not a new one.

  3. Preliminary Study of Plasma Exosomal Tau as a Potential Biomarker for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2016-01-01 Biomarkers

    These preliminary findings suggest that exosomal tau in plasma may be an accurate, noninvasive CTE biomarker.

  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.

  5. Is high oral dose L-arginine intake effective in leukoaraiosis? Preliminary data, study protocol and expert's opinion

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Current aging science 2013-07-01 Biomarkers

    Because of its high prevalence in over-65-year-old subjects, we hypothesized that treatment with 6 gr of Larginine, as supplementary dietary option, could be helpful in patients affected by leukoaraiosis to improve the cognitive and gait impairment often observed in these subjects (as demonstrated by the LADIS study).
