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.

Early Recognition of Treatment‐Responsive Rapidly Progressive Dementia: The Modified STAM3mP Score

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early identification of patients with treatment‐responsive rapidly progressive dementia (RPD) is important as early treatment improves outcomes. The STAM3P score identifies treatment‐responsive RPD using “high risk” presenting features. We optimized performance by adding a time component (i.e., dementia within 3 months) and validated the ...

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 ...
