Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with delayed diagnosis until the manifestation of symptoms. Although the emergence of blood-based biomarkers offers hope for easy detection of AD, existing AD-associated blood biomarkers, known as the "blood ATN biomarkers", mainly capture the pathological hallmarks of AD, overlooking other AD-associated biological processes such as inflammation and vascular dysfunctions. Therefore, developing a blood-based biomarker assay that captures dysregulation beyond the ATN biomarkers may help advance early detection and staging of AD, enabling a comprehensive examination of the disease status METHOD: We leveraged ultrasensitive proteomic technology to develop a blood-based, multiplex biomarker assay for AD.

Background: Despite increasing knowledge of the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases, translation of these benefits into therapeutic advances for Alzheimer's Disease and related diseases (ADRD) has been slow. Drug repurposing is a promising strategy for identifying new uses for approved drugs beyond their initial indications. We developed a high-throughput drug screening platform aimed at identifying drugs capable of reducing proteotoxicity in vivo (Aß toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans) AND inhibiting microglial inflammation (TNF-alpha IL-6), both implicated in driving AD(figure attached with sample of results in C.

Background: Medications for comorbid conditions may affect cognition in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Objective: To explore the association between common medications and cognition, measured with the Mini-Mental State Examination.
Methods: Cohort study including persons with AD from the Swedish Registry for Cognitive/Dementia Disorders (SveDem).

The use of temporary left ventricular assist devices (tLVADs) for patients suffering from cardiogenic shock (CS) is becoming more common. This study examines the indications and outcomes of microaxial flow pumps (Impella, Abiomed Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) when cannulated through the axillary artery in patients with severe CS, with a particular focus on acute phase reactions and hemolytic responses.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that play an essential role in the onset and progression of cancer. As a consequence, a variety of HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) have been developed as potent anticancer agents, several of which have been approved by the FDA for cancer treatment. However, recent accumulated research results have suggested that HDACs are also involved in several other pathophysiological conditions, such as fibrotic, inflammatory, neurodegenerative, and autoimmune diseases.
