Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers Measured by Capillary Blood Collection Versus Venous Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Blood biomarkers are increasingly critical for non‐invasive Alzheimer's Disease (AD) diagnostics and research but typically require on‐site processing. Remote point‐of‐care collection methods could enhance biomarker testing in clinical and research settings.

Diffusion Basis Spectrum Imaging of Tissue Microstructure and Early Treatment in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Conventional MRI cannot resolve the coexisting pathological processes within multiple sclerosis tissue. Diffusion Basis Spectrum Imaging decomposes the diffusion signal into fiber, cell, and hindered ratios indexing axonal integrity, cellularity, and extracellular space, respectively.

Stage‐Specific Patterns of Imaging and Non‐Motor Biomarkers in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Advancements in disease‐modifying therapies for spinocerebellar ataxia Type 3 (SCA3) underscore the need for robust biomarkers to monitor disease progression and evaluate treatment efficacy. Although motor phenotypes have been well characterized, less is known about non‐motor and imaging‐based features across different disease stages.

Validation of a haemoglobin measuring method for determination of blood loss at oral and maxillofacial surgical treatment

, 2016
Background: Determination of blood loss can be a crucial factor at surgical procedures, especially when the amount of blood is small and mixed with other fluids. The existing methods to measure this are still not supported with evidence enough.
