Third Place 1993 ZPA Research Awards in Psychogeriatrics The Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI): A Practical Test for Cross-Cultural Epidemiological Studies of Dementia

TL;DR: Pilot testing conducted in Japan and in the United States has demonstrated its cross-cultural applicability and its usefulness in screening for dementia, in monitoring disease progression, and in providing profiles of cognitive impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Species-specificity of endogenous pyrogen in serum.

TL;DR: Endogenous serum pyrogen from rabbits produced fever in dogs and vice versa, suggesting that pyrogenicity of EP in animals of different species is probably a non-specific phenomenon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Alterations in Serum Electrolytes on Production of Endogenous Pyrogen.

TL;DR: Increase of serum potassium to levels of 8.8 meq/1 did not alter the animals' ability to release endogenous pyrogen, and production of hypercalcemia also had no effect, confirming the inhibitory effect of potassium on release of pyrogen from leukocytes in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strong association of a transthyretin snp with late-life cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s brain lesions at autopsy: The honolulu asia aging study (HAAS)

TL;DR: Several variants in genes implicated in AD had nominally significant association with risk of AD in this study, and some genetic risk factors in this population may overlap with those previously reported for AD in Caucasians, while others have not been previously reported as risk factors for AD.
