TLDR
The results strengthen the clinical evidence that AD is accompanied by an inflammatory response, particularly higher peripheral concentrations of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, TGF-β,IL-12 and IL-18 and higher CSF concentrations of T GF-β.

Pharmacotherapy of Dementia

TL;DR: Evidence of the safety and efficacy of currently approved drugs and emerging pharmacotherapies in AD is critically examined, including drugs targeting the amyloid-β pathway and pharmacological management of specific neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Psychophysiological, cognitive and behavioral aspects of malnutrition in Alzheimer’s disease: a review

TL;DR: It is concluded that unfulfilled nutritional needs associated with increased energy demands and various alterations can lead to a rapid, undesirable, and sharp decline in nutritional status in patients with AD.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta‐analysis

TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.

Operating characteristics of a rank correlation test for publication bias.

TL;DR: In this paper, an adjusted rank correlation test is proposed as a technique for identifying publication bias in a meta-analysis, and its operating characteristics are evaluated via simulations, and the test statistic is a direct statistical analogue of the popular funnel-graph.
