When Does Alzheimer's Disease Start? Plasma Aβ42/40 Assays Show Steep Changes at Aβ‐PET Centiloid 15, Mean Age of 66 Years

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Sporadic late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a long pre‐clinical phase where amyloid‐beta (Aβ) and tau begin to accumulate in the brain. The primary objective was to determine the age at which AD starts by finding the average population age when both positron emission tomography (PET) Aβ (Aβ‐PET) and plasma Aβ42/40 become ...

Individualized Treatment in Distal and Medium Vessel Occlusion Stroke Using a Validated Explainable Counterfactual Treatment Estimation Model

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The optimal treatment for distal medium vessel occlusion (DMVO) stroke remains uncertain, and evidence comparing endovascular therapy (EVT) with medical management (MM) is limited. We aimed to develop and validate a predictive modeling tool to assess individual treatment benefit in DMVO stroke using explainable counterfactual treatment ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction worsens prognosis in patients with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1183-1193, April 2025.
Abstract Aims The prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) severity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association of LVDD severity and elevated left atrial pressure (eLAP) with patient outcomes in stable, non‐acutely decompensated patients with DCM ...
