Modern neuroimaging techniques have revealed the detrimental impact of air pollution on brain health, in particular the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the effects of long-term (months to years) exposure to outdoor air pollutants on the development and progression of AD using neuroimaging data.

Background: Plasma/serum measurements, which stand as the clinical gold standard biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are minimally invasive, facilitating easy collection and processing particularly in low-resource settings. Often, both laboratory and non-laboratory medical personnel find themselves collecting these blood biomarker samples in remote hospitals characterized by a high influx of patients, leaving them with limited time and resources (e.g.

In the research for solutions, cognitive rehabilitation (CR) has emerged as a promising intervention to help individuals with Alzheimer's disease improve their daily activities. Despite its potential benefits, the effectiveness of clinical trials (CT) remains a mystery, inconclusive further investigation.
