Vascular endothelial‐cadherin as a marker of endothelial injury in preclinical Alzheimer disease
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1926-1940, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objective Endothelial dysfunction is an early and prevalent pathology in Alzheimer disease (AD). We here investigate the value of vascular endothelial‐cadherin (VEC) as a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) marker of endothelial injury in preclinical AD.

Harmonizing results of ataxia rating scales: mFARS, SARA, and ICARS
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 2041-2046, December 2022., 2022 Abstract The ever‐increasing body of ataxia research provides opportunities for large‐scale meta‐analyses, systematic reviews, and data aggregation. Because multiple standardized scales are used to quantify ataxia severity, harmonization of these measures is necessary for quantitative data pooling. We applied the modified Friedreich Ataxia Rating Scale

The plateau of human mortality: Demography of longevity pioneers
Science, 2018 Mortality rates level off at extreme age The demography of human longevity is a contentious topic. On the basis of high-quality data from Italians aged 105 and older, Barbi et al. show that mortality is constant at extreme ages but at levels that decline

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1962-1973, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objectives Early‐ and late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD and LOAD) share the same neuropathological traits but show distinct cognitive features. We aimed to explore baseline and longitudinal outcomes of global and domain‐specific cognitive function in a well characterized cohort of patients with a biomarker‐based diagnosis.

Leaf development and demography explain photosynthetic seasonality in Amazon evergreen forests
Science, 2016 Leaf seasonality in Amazon forests Models assume that lower precipitation in tropical forests means less plant-available water and less photosynthesis. Direct measurements in the Amazon, however, show that production remains constant or increases in the ...

Brain magnetic resonance imaging predictors in anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor encephalitis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1974-1984, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objective Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis are nonspecific and rarely have obvious associations with clinical characteristics and outcomes. This study aimed to comprehensively describe the MRI features of patients with NMDAR encephalitis, examine their associations with ...
