Orbitofrontal Dysfunction Discriminates Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia from Alzheimers Disease
Background: Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) patients show prefrontal cortex dysfunction and atrophy. Methods: We investigated whether executive function in conjunction with prefrontal cortex atrophy discriminates bvFTD and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients efficiently at presentation. Results: AD and bvFTD patients were distinguishable by 89.5% on their performance of 3 execu...

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited common autosomal Mendelian disorder of lipoprotein metabolism with a population prevalence of 1 in 500. FH is characterized by severely elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which result in surplus deposition of cholesterol in tissues.

متن کاملFrom heterogeneous patient measurements towards earlier diagnosis in Alzheimers disease
European funded project PredictAD has developed a decision support tool for objective diagnostics of Alzheimer’s disease. The tool compares measurements of a patient to measurements of other persons available in large databases and provides a simple index about the severity of the disease. The project has shown that the tool improves the accuracy of diagnosis and clinicians’ confidence about th...
متن کاملMagnesium and Alzheimers Disease: The Cholinergic Hypothesis
The cholinergic deficit in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains the cornerstone for the understanding of chemical signal transfer. Hypofunctions of cholinergic systems are significantly involved in the signs and symptoms of senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. Cognitive deficits in AD have been widely associated with dysfunction of the cholinergic system. As a diagnostic marker of AD the activity...
