Journal: Supportive Care in Cancer

Year Published: 2016

Purpose: Neurocognitive impairment is frequently observed among acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors within the domains of intelligence, attention, processing speed, working memory, learning, and memory. However, few have investigated treatment-induced changes in neurocognitive function during the […]

Associations between Performance on an Abbreviated CogState Battery, Other Measures of Cognitive Function, and Biomarkers in People at Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease

Authors: Gareth Maher-Edwards, Jeni De'Ath, Carly Barnett, Arseniy Lavrov, Andrew Lockhart

Journal: Alzheimer's & Dementia

Year Published: 2015

Background: The lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 inhibitor (Lp-PLA2), rilapladib (SB659032), is being evaluated as a potential treatment to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods: One hundred twenty-four subjects with possible mild AD and with neuroimaging […]
