White Matter and Perivascular Imaging Changes in Alzheimer's Disease and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
ABSTRACT Objective Peak‐width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD) and diffusion tensor imaging–analysis along the perivascular space (DTI‐ALPS), reflecting white matter integrity and glymphatic function, are altered in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The Role Of Serum Amyloid A In Inflammatory Disease - Proinflammatory Mediator Or Inert Biomarker? [PDF]
: Neutrophils are phagocytes of the innate immune system with prominent roles in host defense and are also believed to be important in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by accumulating in inflamed joints and contribute to tissues ...

Regional distribution of amyloid-Bri deposition and its association with neurofibrillary degeneration in familial British dementia [PDF]
Familial British dementia (FBD), pathologically characterized by cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), amyloid plaques, and neurofibrillary degeneration, is associated with a stop codon mutation in the BRI gene resulting in the production of an ...

Diffuse MRI Edema Predicts Relapse in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy–Related Inflammation
ABSTRACT Objective To identify MRI predictors of relapse and quantify relapse and mortality risk in cerebral amyloid angiopathy–related inflammation (CAA‐RI). A secondary objective was to assess the association between mycophenolate mofetil use and relapse risk. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of 36 patients with CAA‐RI treated at the

THERAPEUTIC APPROACH OF A CASE OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS COMPLICATED WITH RENAL AMYLOIDOSIS IN A YOUNG WOMAN [PDF]
Systemic AA amyloidosis is an uncommon complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), especially in poorly controlled RA. Renal involvement caused by deposits of amyloid fibrils derived from acute-phase proteins is represented by nephrotic-range proteinuria ...

Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonists in Multiple Sclerosis: A Topical Narrative Review
ABSTRACT The glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists (RAs) are a relatively new class of drugs that were initially approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and, subsequently, weight reduction in patients with obesity.

Whole‐brain microscopy reveals distinct temporal and spatial efficacy of anti‐Aβ therapies
Many efforts targeting amyloid‐β (Aβ) plaques for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease thus far have resulted in failures during clinical trials. Regional and temporal heterogeneity of efficacy and dependence on plaque maturity may have contributed to ...

The Association of Amyloid‐β and Tau With Synaptic Dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease
ABSTRACT Objective To clarify the relative contributions of amyloid and tau to synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods We included 109 cognitively unimpaired and impaired individuals from the Geneva Memory Center with available CSF synaptic biomarkers (neurogranin, SNAP‐25, GAP‐43). Participants were stratified according to amyloid (A)

A Two‐Stage Plasma Biomarker Algorithm Reduces Amyloid PET Use and the p‐Tau217 Gray Zone
ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐Tau217 leaves 30%–50% of patients in an indeterminate “gray zone” often requiring Aβ‐PET. We developed GRAD (Gatekeeper‐Reflex for Alzheimer's Disease), a two‐stage Aβ‐positivity prediction model to improve classification while reserving Aβ‐PET for residual uncertainty.
