TL;DR: The results suggest that cerebrospinal fluid tau might reflect the progressive accumulation of altered tau due to the progressive death of neurons in the AD brain, and that the enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay of cerebro Spinal Fluid tau may prove to be a reliable and early diagnostic test for AD.

TL;DR: This study suggests that tau may accumulate in the CSF of patients with certain neurodegenerative diseases other than AD and that measurement of CSF-tau may not distinguish AD from DLB.

TL;DR: Abnormal melatonin secretion may be involved in postoperative sleep disturbances, which triggered delirium in elderly patients, and in 5 patients with complications, melatonin levels were markedly increased.

TL;DR: This study was undertaken to gain insights into the clinical utility of measuring cerebrospinal fluid tau protein to aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Parvalbumin content was high and variable in both PLD and SA, and was undetectable in the ALD, which appears to contain exclusively slow-tonic (ST) fibres, being verified by its myoglobin-rich nature and lowest LDH activity or predominant H-type isozyme characteristics.
