Article Synopsis
- Plasma biomarkers, particularly p-tau181, GFAP, and NfL, show promise in identifying amyloid beta (Aβ) pathology, but other factors affecting their levels need to be understood before clinical use.
- In a study of 360 patients, eGFR was the only significant factor affecting p-tau181 levels, while age, BMI, and comorbidities influenced GFAP and NfL concentrations.
- Despite these relationships, the diagnostic accuracy of p-tau181 for determining Aβ status remained high at 87%, indicating minimal impact from confounding factors, suggesting its strong potential for clinical application.

Article Synopsis
- Atlantoaxial instability (AAI) is a common complication in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but its link to intracranial bleeding is not well understood.
- A case is presented of a young woman with both systemic lupus erythematosus and RA who experienced three episodes of subdural bleeding due to AAI.
- After surgical fixation of the C1-C2 vertebrae, no further bleeding episodes occurred, highlighting the connection between hemorrhage and cervical instability in this patient.
