  1. The German version of the tablet-based UCSF Brain Health Assessment is sensitive to early symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Brain and behavior 2023-12-02 Cognitive tests and assessment

    The German BHA and BHS are more sensitive to mild NCD and non-AD presentations than the MoCA and thus have a high potential to identify patients with NCD in primary care earlier than currently used screens.

  2. Validation of the Russian Version of the MoCA Test as a Cognitive Screening Instrument in Cognitively Asymptomatic Older Individuals and Those With Mild Cognitive Impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Frontiers in medicine 2020-08-13 Cognitive tests and assessment

    The mean age of the study population was 78 ± 6.6 years and 123 (76.9%) were women.

  3. Quality of life in people with dementia living in nursing homes: validation of an eight-item version of the QUALIDEM for intensive longitudinal assessment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation 2020-01-18 Cognitive tests and assessment

    We found that momentary quality of life, reliably assessed by tablet, was associated with comprehensive measures of quality of life and depressive symptoms in people with dementia.

  4. The murine version of BAN2401 (mAb158) selectively reduces amyloid-β protofibrils in brain and cerebrospinal fluid of tg-ArcSwe mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2015-01-01 Tau biomarkers

    Amyloid-β (Aβ) immunotherapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) has good preclinical support from transgenic mouse models and clinical data suggesting that a long-term treatment effect is possible.
