  1. Phospho-tau with subthreshold tau-PET predicts increased tau accumulation rates in amyloid-positive individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2023-04-01 Biomarkers

    The A+P+T- group showed a slower rate of increase in tau-PET compared to the A+P+T+ group, primarily in neocortical regions.

  2. Post-vaccination infection rates and modification of COVID-19 symptoms in vaccinated UK school-aged children and adolescents: A prospective longitudinal cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. The Lancet regional health. Europe 2022-07-08 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Between August 5, 2021 and February 14, 2022, 25,971 UK CA aged 12-17 years received one dose of BNT162b2 vaccine.

  3. Rates of Screening for Breast, Colorectal, and Cervical Cancers in Older People With Cognitive Impairment or Dementia: A Meta-Analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 86 out of 100. Gerontology & geriatric medicine 2018-01-01 Biomarkers

    Studies reported data 1989-2008. The rate of screening for breast cancer by mammography was lower in women with cognitive impairment or dementia compared with those without (pooled odds ratio [OR] = 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.71, 0.91], p = .0007, six studies, N = 18,562).

  4. SNPs associated with cerebrospinal fluid phospho-tau levels influence rate of decline in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. PLoS genetics 2010-09-16 Genetics

    Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a complex and multifactorial disease.

  5. Axonal transport rates in vivo are unaffected by tau deletion or overexpression in mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2008-02-01 Biomarkers

    Elevated tau expression has been proposed as a possible basis for impaired axonal transport in Alzheimer's disease.

  6. The cerebrospinal fluid production rate is reduced in dementia of the Alzheimer's type

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Neurology 2001-11-01 Tau biomarkers

    These results indicate that the rate of CSF production in patients with PD is normal, and that the rate of CSF production in patients with AD is markedly reduced.
