Article Synopsis
- The study compares plasma amyloid beta (Aβ42) and tau levels in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients from two different hospitals in the U.S. and Taiwan using ultra-sensitive IMR assays.
- Significant increases in tau levels were found in AD patients from both cohorts, while Aβ42 levels only increased in the Taiwan group.
- The research determined that tau levels could identify probable AD with high accuracy, and combining Aβ42 and tau data further improved diagnostic accuracy, suggesting these measures can help in diagnosing AD clinically.
Converging mediators from immune and trophic pathways to identify Parkinson disease dementia.

Objective: To identify a panel of peripheral inflammatory/immune mediators that could discriminate Parkinson disease with dementia (PDD) from Parkinson disease (PD) without dementia.
Methods: Plasma samples from 52 patients with PD and 22 patients with PDD were prepared from freshly collected blood following an institutional review board-approved protocol. A total of 160 proteins were measured using a multiplex antibody array.
