Cephalhaematoma in Sweden, a Population-Based Register Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aim The primary aim was to investigate the incidence, birth characteristics, and timing of diagnosis of cephalhaematoma (CH). The secondary aim was to explore associations between CH and complications during the neonatal period and infancy. Methods This is a nationwide population‐based register study of infants (< 12 months) born in Sweden ...

Depression of cortical neuronal activity after a low-dose fentanyl in preterm infants. [PDF]
Abstract Aim Opioids might be harmful to the developing brain and dosing accuracy is important. We aimed at investigating fentanyl effects on cortical activity in infants using computational re‐analysis of bedside recorded EEG signals. Methods Fifteen infants born at median 26.4 gestational weeks (range 23.3–34.1), with a birth weight 740 grams (530 ...

Combining plasma p-tau<sub>231</sub> and glial fibrillary acidic protein produces higher discriminative accuracy for amyloid positivity than other blood-based biomarker combinations. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Plasma phosphorylated tau231 (p‐tau231) has shown great promise for early identification of amyloid pathology. We tested various plasma biomarker combinations with p‐tau231 in relation to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid positivity. METHODS One hundred and fifty‐five dementia‐free older adults were included.

Increased neuroplastic activity in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION We test the hypothesis that high levels of neuroplasticity in the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk factors are involved in AD pathogenesis by investigating interactions between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of growth‐associated protein‐43 (GAP‐43) and AD risk factors (female sex, cerebrovascular risk, mild cognitive ...

Mild kidney dysfunction affects the predictive accuracy of blood-based biomarkers for neuropsychological and neuroimaging outcomes over a 9 year follow-up period. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION The impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on Alzheimer's disease (AD) plasma biomarkers is poorly understood. We tested whether kidney function decline affects the predictive accuracy of plasma biomarkers on neuropsychological or neuroimaging outcomes.
