  1. Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative brain autopsy program

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. Parkinsonism & related disorders 2022-07-01 Biomarkers

    We report on the initial 17 (11 male:6 female) brain autopsies from across Europe and the United States in the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI).

  2. Study Protocol of a Comprehensive Activity Promotion Program for the Prevention of Dementia: A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 81 out of 100. The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease 2022-01-01 Cognitive tests and assessment

    This study has the potential to provide the first evidence of the effectiveness of information communication technology and Internet of Things in incident dementia.

  3. Caregiving strain will be collected from care partner/family member only.

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Healthcare informatics research 2017-10-31 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Most family caregivers of dementia patients use smartphones more often than computers, and more than half of those caregivers communicate with others through social media apps.

  5. CSF biomarker variability in the Alzheimer's Association quality control program

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2013-05-01 Tau biomarkers

    The overall variability remains too high to allow assignment of universal biomarker cutoff values for a specific intended use.

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2011-07-01 Tau biomarkers

    Measurements of CSF AD biomarkers show large between-laboratory variability, likely caused by factors related to analytical procedures and the analytical kits.
