PSMD‐2: A fully automated marker for longitudinal assessment of cerebrovascular white matter injury [PDF]
Abstract Background Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is highly prevalent in older adults and a key comorbidity in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. While conventional MRI markers (e.g. white matter hyperintensities) capture late SVD stages, diffusion MRI metrics are sensitive to early SVD‐related brain changes, making them ...

The DROP‐AD project: AD biomarkers from dry blood spots [PDF]
Abstract Background In less than a decade, blood‐based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have evolved from a promising research tool to a valuable clinical asset. Increased accessibility to biomarkers such as pTau217 could significantly enhance population screening, epidemiological studies, and the inclusion of underrepresented groups in dementia

Plasma sphingomyelins are associated with plasma total‐Tau in presymptomatic Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Abstract Background Altered plasma sphingomyelin levels have been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), indicating disruptions in lipid metabolism and their potential link with AD pathogenesis. Meanwhile, tau‐related neuronal damage and neurodegeneration result in the release of neuronal tau protein into the bloodstream, reflected predominantly as ...

Capturing Alzheimer’s Disease Heterogeneity With Spatially Independent Patterns of Amyloid Accumulation [PDF]
Abstract Background Current Alzheimer's disease (AD) research and clinical trials generally assume a single trajectory of cortical amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation, but amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) studies suggest multiple trajectories. We aimed to better characterize AD heterogeneity using independent spatial component analysis of amyloid ...

Accelerated rate of plasma p‐Tau217 progression in amyloid‐β APOE ɛ4 carriers [PDF]
Abstract Background The ɛ4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) increases susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is associated with reduced responsiveness to amyloid‐β (Aβ)‐removing therapies. In the context of AD diagnostics and disease‐modifying treatments, blood biomarkers have emerged as less invasive, accessible tools for monitoring ...

The role of tau and amyloid pathology in neurosensory impairments during preclinical Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Abstract Background Prior cross‐sectional studies in the PREVENT‐AD cohort indicate that increased concentrations of p‐tau181 in cerebrospinal fluid are linked to impairments in odor identification (OI; Lafaille‐Magnan et al., 2017) and central auditory processing (CAP; Tuwaig et al., 2017).

Comparison of software vs. cognitive‐based fusion‐targeted biopsies for prostate cancer diagnosis
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of software‐based fusion‐targeted biopsies (STBx) versus cognitive fusion‐targeted biopsies (CogTBx) in detecting prostate cancer (PCa) and clinically significant PCa. Materials and methods Men aged 30–85 were included in a target trial emulation if they had undergone a STBx or CogTBx of

Palaeowinds and depositional conditions from Holocene loess in Sweden and Finland
The nature of deglacial and Holocene wind regimes in Fennoscandia is debated, as is the degree to which wind‐blown loess deposits exist in the region. Loess deposits in Fennoscandia are often relatively thin, discontinuous and less well‐sorted than typical loess, and questions remain over the degree of their post‐depositional reworking and the impact ...

Governing Within the Constraints of Carbon Budgets: Regional Insights From Sweden
ABSTRACT Staying within the limits of a rapidly shrinking global carbon budget while avoiding dependency on negative emissions technologies and carbon dioxide removal remains a significant challenge in a multi‐level governance system, where resources and responsibilities are dispersed among different actors.
