Odor identification impairment and cholinesterase inhibitor treatment in Alzheimer's disease
Introduction This study evaluated acute change in odor identification following atropine nasal spray challenge, and 8‐week change in odor identification ability, as a predictor of long‐term improvement in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's ...

What does it mean when the pleasant smells come and go? Correlation between UPSIT odor identification status and fluctuation of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms, including olfactory dysfunction. Prior studies have shown that olfaction deteriorates with disease progression, however fluctuations in olfaction and related PD symptoms have been less explored.

Objective Assess the performance of serum phosphorylated tau 217 (p‐tau217) and neurofilament light chain (NfL) in predicting risk of cognitive impairment or phenoconversion to dementia in individuals with iRBD. Methods We measured serum p‐tau217 and NfL levels by electrochemiluminescence across 4 polysomnographically confirmed iRBD cohorts (n = 300 ...

Dupilumab Dampens Mucosal Type 2 Response During Acetylsalicylic Acid Challenge in N‐ERD Patients
Dupilumab therapy reduced elevated type 2 cytokine responses post‐ASA provocation in N‐ERD patients, independent of ASA tolerance, and revealed novel mechanistic insights by modulating acute type 2 immunity. Transcriptomic analysis showed concurrent downregulation of lipid and peroxisome pathways during ASA challenge in N‐ERD patients after 24 weeks of

Dupilumab improved objective and patient-reported outcomes in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and complete nasal obstruction [PDF]
Aim: The impact of complete bilateral nasal obstruction [nasal polyp score (NPS) = 8/8] on treatment outcomes in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is unclear.
