Advancing research diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer's disease: the IWG-2 criteria

TL;DR: It is proposed that downstream topographical biomarkers of the disease, such as volumetric MRI and fluorodeoxyglucose PET, might better serve in the measurement and monitoring of the course of disease.

Linguistic Features Identify Alzheimer's Disease in Narrative Speech.

TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical factor analysis was used to identify individuals with Alzheimer's disease from short narrative samples elicited with a picture description task, and to uncover the salient linguistic factors.

Posterior cortical atrophy

TL;DR: Greater awareness of the syndrome and agreement over the correspondence between syndrome-level and disease-level classifications are needed to improve diagnostic accuracy, clinical management, and the design of research studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consensus classification of posterior cortical atrophy

TL;DR: A classification framework for posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is proposed to improve the uniformity of definition of the syndrome in a variety of research settings.

Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease : report of the NINCDS-ADRDA Work Group under the auspices of Department of Health and Human Services Task Force on Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: The criteria proposed are intended to serve as a guide for the diagnosis of probable, possible, and definite Alzheimer's disease; these criteria will be revised as more definitive information becomes available.

Gene dose of apolipoprotein E type 4 allele and the risk of Alzheimer's disease in late onset families

TL;DR: The APOE-epsilon 4 allele is associated with the common late onset familial and sporadic forms of Alzheimer9s disease (AD) in 42 families with late onset AD.

Metabolic Reduction in the Posterior Cingulate Cortex in Very Early Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: The result suggests a functional importance for the posterior cingulate cortex in impairment of learning and memory, which is a feature of very early Alzheimer's disease.

Prediction of AD with MRI-based hippocampal volume in mild cognitive impairment

TL;DR: In older patients with MCI, hippocampal atrophy determined by premorbid MRI-based volume measurements is predictive of subsequent conversion to AD.

Attention and executive deficits in Alzheimer's disease: A critical review

TL;DR: The progress that has been made in the research on attentional and executive deficits in Alzheimer's disease is summarized and it appears that divided attention and aspects of selective attention, such as set-shifting and response selection, are particularly vulnerable while sustained attention is relatively preserved in the early stages.
