3. Prediction of Alzheimer’s disease in subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment using biomarkers
Sammanfattning : Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. In order to have effect of future disease-modifying therapies for AD, the disease must be identified early, before the patients have developed dementia. Many patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) have prodromal AD, but other causes for the syndrome are common. LÄS MER
4. Development of dementia in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients with focus on B-vitamins
