Background: Vaxxinity is developing an active immunotherapy targeting Tau for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies. VXX-301 is a multi-epitope vaccine designed to target the N-terminal and repeat domains of Tau. This design enables targeting multiple forms of Tau thought to contribute to Tau associated pathologies.

Background: Recruitment registries are tools to decrease the time and cost required to identify and enroll eligible participants into clinical research. Despite their potential to increase the efficiency of accrual, few analyses have assessed registry effectiveness. We investigated the outcomes of study referrals from the Consent-to-Contact (C2C) registry, a recruitment registry at the University of California, Irvine.

Background: Iron is vital for metabolism but can act as a catalyst for oxidative damage. Elevated brain iron, determined from biomarkers of iron (CSF ferritin and quantitative susceptibility mapping MRI) and from post-mortem measurement of brain iron, has been associated with accelerated cognitive decline in multiple Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical, cohorts. These findings supported the hypothesis that treatment with the brain-permeable iron chelator deferiprone may be associated clinical benefit in AD.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a leading cause of death disability. DVT can be classified based on the location and extent of the clot into isolated distal DVT (iDDVT), isolated proximal DVT (iPDVT), or mixed DVT. The aim of this study is to explore the baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with different types of DVT.

Background: Findings regarding the protective effect of Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) against Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and cognitive decline have been inconclusive.
Method: A total of 6,390,826 hypertensive individuals were included in this study from Optum's de-identified Clinformatics® Data Mart. We identified antihypertensive medication (AHM) drug classes and subclassified ARBs by blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability.
