  1. Dysregulation of Ruminococcaceae and Megamonas could be predictive markers for rapid progression of mild cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Microbial pathogenesis 2023-08-03 Biomarkers

    The decrease of Ruminococcaceae and the increase of Megamonas could act as predictive markers for the rapidly progressive MCI.

  2. Validation of a rapid remote digital test for impaired cognition using clinical dementia rating and mini-mental state examination: An observational research study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Frontiers in digital health 2022-12-21 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Digital screening tests such as M-CogScore are desirable to aid in rapid and remote clinical cognitive evaluations.

  3. Using rapid cycle tests of change to develop the Carers Assistive Technology Experience Questionnaire: a cognitive interview study in the UK

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. BMJ open 2021-03-18 Cognitive tests and assessment

    We describe the use of rapid cycle tests of change to pretest and develop a Carers Assistive Technology Experience Questionnaire for a survey of informal carers of persons with dementia.

  4. Rapid and sensitive RT-QuIC detection of human Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease using cerebrospinal fluid

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. mBio 2015-01-20 Tau biomarkers

    Here, an improved RT-QuIC assay is described which identified positive CSF samples within 4 to 14 h with better analytical sensitivity.

  5. Mechanisms underlying the rapid peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ-mediated amyloid clearance and reversal of cognitive deficits in a murine model of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2012-07-01 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease is associated with a disruption of amyloid β (Aβ) homeostasis, resulting in the accumulation and subsequent deposition of Aβ peptides within the brain.
