Early BMI Change, Cognitive Decline, and CSF AD Biomarkers Alterations in Parkinson's Disease
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To examine the relationship of early BMI change with subsequent cognitive decline, CSF AD biomarkers alterations, and progression to dementia in patients with PD. Methods Study data were prospectively collected from the PPMI cohort. Weight/height data at enrollment and second‐year clinical visit were utilized to calculate BMI change.

Robustness and sex differences in skin cancer detection: logistic regression vs CNNs [PDF]
arXivDeep learning has been reported to achieve high performances in the detection of skin cancer, yet many challenges regarding the reproducibility of results and biases remain. This study is a replication (different data, same analysis) of a study on Alzheimer's disease [28] which studied robustness of logistic regression (LR) and convolutional neural ...

Dual‐Phase C‐11 PiB PET Images for Detecting Tau Pathology in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a major cause of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage and cognitive dysfunction in the elderly, and frequently coexists with Alzheimer's disease and tau pathology. Dual‐phase 11C‐PiB PET detects amyloid deposition and cerebral perfusion changes and may have diagnostic value for identifying tau in CAA ...

Investigating LLMs in Clinical Triage: Promising Capabilities, Persistent Intersectional Biases [PDF]
arXivLarge Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in clinical decision support, yet their application to triage remains underexplored. We systematically investigate the capabilities of LLMs in emergency department triage through two key dimensions: (1) robustness to distribution shifts and missing data, and (2) counterfactual analysis of intersectional ...
