Methodological insights and clinical outcomes in ALS and FTLD: lessons from the SPIN cohort. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) constitute a clinico‐genetic‐neuropathological continuum with marked heterogeneity. Reliable in vivo biomarkers of the disease are lacking. Large, multimodal cohorts are needed to advance biomarker discovery and precision medicine. METHODS We describe

Effect of Eplontersen in Patients With Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis With Polyneuropathy Across Genetic Variants: An Exploratory Analysis From the NEURO-TTRansform Trial. [PDF]
In this exploratory analysis of the NEURO‐TTRansform Phase 3 trial, the efficacy of eplontersen was evaluated in patients with early‐ or late‐onset Val30Met (p.Val50Met) or non‐Val30Met hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy. Eplontersen halted neuropathy impairment as measured by the mNIS+7 composite score and improved Norfolk QoL‐DN

Management of chronic urticaria: Current status and future prospect
Chronic urticaria is driven by mast cell activation through autoimmune, inflammatory, and neuroimmune pathways. A structured approach combining diagnosis, patient‐reported outcomes, stepwise therapy, treatment optimization, monitoring and emerging targeted agents may improve disease control and enable more personalized management.

The use of real‐world data in health services research for dementia care: A scoping review
Abstract Health services research (HSR) is critical to informing dementia care and often relies on real‐world data (RWD); however, RWD use in HSR has not been systematically mapped in the United States. Following previous researchers and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA‐ScR ...

The SWITCH algorithm: An expert consensus on treat‐to‐target criteria for chronic prurigo
The SWITCH project assessed patients' most distressing symptoms and therapy goals, followed by an expert‐based consensus procedure to define T2T criteria for patients with chronic prurigo (CPG)/prurigo nodularis. Based on these validated criteria, a 4‐step SWITCH algorithm was established to enhance CPG therapy outcomes and reduce patient burden ...

The cost of dementia in the United States in 2026
Abstract INTRODUCTION Comprehensive cost measurement is essential for an effective policy response to societal dementia costs. METHODS Using dynamic microsimulation, the Health and Retirement Study, and other national data, we quantified the 2026 cost of dementia in the United States. RESULTS In 2026, 5.7 million (95% confidence interval [CI] [5.6, 6.0]

Mitigating disparities in diagnosis of dementia
Abstract The field of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) is undergoing a transformative shift with a better understanding of disease biology, biomarker‐based diagnostics, and disease‐modifying therapies. Yet, these advancements risk exacerbating existing disparities in diagnosis and care.
