Article Abstract
Introduction: Recent advances in biomarker research have improved the diagnosis and monitoring of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but in vivo biomarker-based workflows to assess 4R-tauopathy (4RT) patients are currently missing. We suggest a novel biomarker-based algorithm to characterize AD and 4RTs.
Methods: We cross-sectionally assessed combinations of cerebrospinal fluid measures (CSF p-tau and t-tau) and F-PI-2620 tau-positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with AD (n = 64), clinically suspected 4RTs (progressive supranuclear palsy or corticobasal syndrome, n = 82) and healthy controls (n = 19).
Results: Elevated CSF p-tau and cortical F-PI-2620 binding was characteristic for AD while normal CSF p-tau with elevated subcortical F-PI-2620 binding was characteristic for 4RTs. F-PI-2620-assessed posterior cortical hypoperfusion could be used as an additional neuronal injury biomarker in AD.
Discussion: The specific combination of CSF markers and F-PI-2620 tau-PET in disease-specific regions facilitates the biomarker-guided stratification of AD and 4RTs. This has implications for biomarker-aided diagnostic workflows and the advancement in clinical trials.
Highlights: Novel biomarker-based algorithm for differentiating AD and 4R-tauopathies. A combination of CSF p-tau and F-PI-2620 discriminates AD versus 4R tauopathies. Hypoperfusion serves as an additional neuronal injury biomarker in AD.

Blood-based biomarkers (BBMs) have emerged as promising tools to enhance Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis. Despite two-thirds of dementia cases occurring in the Global South, research on BBMs has predominantly focused on populations from the Global North. This geographical disparity hinders our understanding of BBM performance in diverse populations.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) and ischemic stroke (IS) are prevalent neurological disorders that frequently co-occur in the same individuals. Recent studies have demonstrated that AD and IS share several common risk factors and pathogenic elements, including an overlapping genomic architecture. However, the relationship between IS risk gene polymorphisms and AD has been less extensively studied.

Background: Neuroinflammation and hypertension are involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, their independent and additive impacts on astrocytes and AD-related pathologies have not been fully explored. Hence, this study investigated whether the associations between astrocyte reactivity, measured by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), Chitinase 3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1/YKL-40), and AD-related pathologies were mediated by neuroinflammation and whether these associations were modified by hypertension.

Introduction: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a commonly occurring condition in the postoperative period. Therefore, the study intends to investigate the relationship between BM and POD and the effect of BM levels on three-year postoperative mortality in patients with POD.
Methods: Postoperatively, the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) and the Monumental Delirium Assessment Scale (MDAS) were used to assess the incidence and severity of POD.

Review Purpose: To provide an overview of the recent developments in the field of neurochemical biomarkers of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Recent Findings: Neurofilaments, especially NFL, have been confirmed to be good biomarkers for ALS. NFL may be diagnostically useful but its main role is as prognostic and pharmacodynamic biomarker.
