Epidemiology of Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration in Northern Finland
Background: Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is responsible for as many as every fifth case of early-onset dementia. Very few epidemiological studies of FTLD have been conducted; there are no published epidemiological data of FTLD from Finland or

Leukodystrophy in Tanzania: A Case Study Highlighting Diagnostic Dilemmas and Clinical Implications
ABSTRACT Leukodystrophies are rare inherited neurodegenerative disorders characterized by progressive white matter dysfunction and neurological decline. In low‐resource settings, limited access to advanced neuroimaging, biochemical investigations, and genetic testing often delays diagnosis and complicates differentiation from more common infectious ...

Establishing robust cognitive dimensions for characterization and differentiation of patients with Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, frontotemporal dementia and depression [PDF]
The diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia requires detailed neuropsychological examinations. These examinations typically yield a large number of outcome variables, which may complicate the interpretation and communication of results.

ABSTRACT Background Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically defined by the accumulation of amyloid‐β (Aβ) plaques, hyperphosphorylated tau tangles and sustained neuroinflammation. Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1), originally characterised as an incretin hormone, is also expressed endogenously in the brain.

Frontotemporal dementia is the leading cause of “true” A−/T+ profiles defined with Aβ42/40 ratio
Introduction Patients with positive tauopathy but negative Aβ42 (A−T+) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) represent a diagnostic challenge. The Aβ42/40 ratio supersedes Aβ42 and reintegrates “false” A−T+ patients into the Alzheimer's disease spectrum ...

Posttranslational Modifications of p62/SQSTM1 in Health and Disease
Schematic illustration of p62 as a posttranslational modifications (PTMs)‐programmed integrator in homeostasis, pathogenesis, and therapeutic targeting. (Left) Homeostasis: In physiological states, p62, through various PTMs such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and acetylation, coordinates essential cellular functions.

Poly‐GP in cerebrospinal fluid links C9orf72‐associated dipeptide repeat expression to the asymptomatic phase of ALS/FTD [PDF]
The C9orf72 GGGGCC repeat expansion is a major cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (c9ALS/FTD). Non‐conventional repeat translation results in five dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), but their clinical utility, overall ...
