  1. A comparison between tau and amyloid-β cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers in chronic traumatic encephalopathy and Alzheimer disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2022-02-09 Tau biomarkers

    Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tau and beta-amyloid levels in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a disease which can be clinically indistinguishable from Alzheimer's disease (AD), are largely unknown.

    In this cohort study of more than 350 000 veterans, even mild TBI without LOC was associated with more than a 2-fold increase in the risk of dementia diagnosis.

  3. Chronic neuropathologies of single and repetitive TBI: substrates of dementia?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Nature reviews. Neurology 2013-03-05 Getting a diagnosis
