Alzheimer's disease biomarker utilization at first referral enhances differential diagnostic precision with simultaneous exclusion of Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease

Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring
Most suspected Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD) cases are eventually diagnosed with other disorders. We assessed the utility of investigating Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers and neurofilament light (NfL) in patients when CJD is suspected.

Specific early electroencephalogram for the diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

Prion
An early diagnosis is required for intervention in prion disease cases. To elucidate the specificity of early electroencephalography discharges in cases of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, we analysed epileptiform discharges through ...
