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.

Focus on the Correlations between Alzheimer's Disease and Type 2 Diabetes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed common features present in Alzheimer's disease and diabetes mellitus, showing how these two diseases are strictly correlated to each other, including chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, adiponectin deficiency, different expression of plasma cholinesterase activity and vascular damage.

Decreased expression of CD33 in peripheral mononuclear cells of Alzheimer's disease patients.

TL;DR: According to receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the diagnostic accuracy for CD33 alone is relatively lower, while, combining with additional parameters might further improve the diagnostic value for AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum levels of inflammation factors and cognitive performance in amnestic mild cognitive impairment: A Chinese clinical study

TL;DR: It is indicated that IL-6, while not useful alone, has potential in combination with other biomarkers to support early diagnosis of aMCI due to its association with the progression of cognitive impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing for unique immunomodulatory and neuroplastic profiles of physical activity subtypes: a focus on psychiatric disorders.

TL;DR: This systematic review aims to assess the immunomodulatory and neuroplastic profiles of various PA subtypes, particularly in unipolar depression and age-related cognitive decline (ARCD).

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.
