Cortical thickness in frontotemporal dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: The patterns of regions of thinning in FTD when compared to controls and also S-MCI patients showed similar trends; thinning of the bilateral frontal poles and bilateral medial temporal lobe structures, especially the anterior part of the gingulum, the uncus, and parahippocampal gyri.
Journal ArticleDOI

APOE-ε4 is associated with weight loss in women with AD A population-based study

TL;DR: The APOE-ε4 allele may contribute to the unexplained weight loss in AD, especially in women, when men and women were analyzed separately, and weight loss was observed only in those women with AD with the ε4 allele.

Commentary Cholinesterase inhibition: is there evidence for disease-modifying effects?

TL;DR: It is plausible that cholinesterase inhibition might contribute to disease modification, and the detection of putative disease-modifying effects may be most easily implemented in certain patient subpopulations, and genotyping studies suggest a particular role for BuChE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole brain atrophy rate predicts progression from MCI to Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates an association between whole brain atrophy rate and subsequent rate of clinical progression from MCI to AD, and suggests that IPCA could be an effective brain-imaging marker of progression to AD and useful tool for the evaluation of disease-modifying treatments.
