The hippocampal formations of 13 subjects with severe Alzheimer disease [AD; Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) stage 7] and of 5 age-matched subjects without symptoms of dementia were reconstructed from serial sections. Functional assessment staging (FAST) was used at the time of demise to assess 9 patients at stages 7a–c (incipient averbal and nonambulatory) and 4 patients at stages 7e–f (...... hiện toàn bộ

<i>Background:</i> Serum amyloid P component (SAP), present in amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), may protect Aβ deposits against proteolysis, thereby promoting plaque formation. The aim was to investigate if SAP levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum can be used to discriminate controls, AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, and to identify i...... hiện toàn bộ
