  1. Deep cervical lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) for Alzheimer's disease: microsurgical procedure in a prospective cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. International journal of surgery (London, England) 2025-05-20 Biomarkers

    This study demonstrates that deep cervical LVA is safe and feasible procedure, showing a significant cognitive improvement in AD patients (mainly in MMSE), which needs long-term follow-up and large-scale clinical trials to verify.

  2. Sleep spindles and slow oscillations predict cognition and biomarkers of neurodegeneration in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-01-29 Biomarkers

    Our findings demonstrate that spindle and SO activity during sleep constitute predictive and non-invasive biomarkers of neurodegeneration and cognition in AD patients.
