  1. Genome-wide association identifies the first risk loci for psychosis in Alzheimer disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 74 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2021-06-10 Genetics

    Psychotic symptoms, defined as the occurrence of delusions or hallucinations, are frequent in Alzheimer disease (AD with psychosis, AD + P).

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Neurodegenerative disease management 2017-11-21 Treatments

    Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and nonmotor symptoms.

  3. Genetic risk for schizophrenia and psychosis in Alzheimer disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2017-05-02 Genetics

    Psychotic symptoms, defined as the occurrence of delusions or hallucinations, are frequent in Alzheimer disease (AD), affecting ~40 to 60% of individuals with AD (AD with psychosis (AD+P)).

  4. The psychosis spectrum in Parkinson disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Nature reviews. Neurology 2017-01-20 Brain scans and imaging

    In 2007, the clinical and research profile of illusions, hallucinations, delusions and related symptoms in Parkinson disease (PD) was raised with the publication of a consensus definition of PD psychosis.

  5. Psychosis in Parkinson's disease without dementia: common and comorbid with other non-motor symptoms

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society 2012-06-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Psychosis in Parkinson's disease (PD) is common and associated with a range of negative outcomes.

  6. β-Amyloid 42/40 ratio and kalirin expression in Alzheimer disease with psychosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2012-03-17 Biomarkers

    Psychosis in Alzheimer disease differentiates a subgroup with more rapid decline, is heritable, and aggregates within families, suggesting a distinct neurobiology.

  7. Antidepressants for agitation and psychosis in dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 76 out of 100. The Cochrane database of systematic reviews 2011-02-16 Treatments

    Selection criteria Randomized, controlled trials of antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, trazodone, and other antidepressants), compared to either placebo or comparator medications (typical or atypical antipsychotics, anticonvulsants, benzodiazepines, cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine or other medications) for treatment of agitation or psychosis in older adults with dementia.

  8. Pathophysiology and treatment of psychosis in Parkinson's disease: a review

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Drugs & aging 2008-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Psychotic symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) are relatively common and, in addition to creating a disturbance in patients' daily lives, have consistently been shown to be associated with poor outcome.

  9. Disease biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with first-onset psychosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. PLoS medicine 2006-11-01 Genetics

    Our results suggest that the application of modern proteomics techniques, particularly mass spectrometric approaches, holds the potential to advance the understanding of the biochemical basis of psychiatric disorders and may in turn allow for the development of diagnostics and improved therapeutics.
