Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma phospholipids identify antecedent memory impairment in older adults

TL;DR: This work discovered and validated a set of ten lipids from peripheral blood that predicted phenoconversion to either amnestic mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease within a 2–3 year timeframe with over 90% accuracy and may be sensitive to early neurodegeneration of preclinical Alzheimer’s disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alzheimer disease pathology and longitudinal cognitive performance in the oldest-old with no dementia.

TL;DR: AD neuropathology at autopsy is not associated with the trajectory of cognitive performance in the 3 years before death in oldest-old without dementia, but both high and low pathology groups showed modest improvements on the 3MS and CVLT consistent with learning effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disability in the Oldest-Old: Incidence and Risk Factors in The 90+ Study

TL;DR: Disability incidence is high and increases rapidly with age in the oldest-old, with rates essentially tripling between ages 90-94 years and 95+ years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Traumatic brain injury increases plasma astrocyte-derived exosome levels of neurotoxic complement proteins.

TL;DR: Observations that complement inhibitors may be useful therapeutically in acute TBI and post‐concussion syndrome are observed and persisted for decades except for normalization of Bb, MBL, and CD59 in late chronic mtTBI.
