A Signature of Five Long Non-Coding RNAs for Predicting the Prognosis of Alzheimer’s Disease Based on Competing Endogenous RNA Networks

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the functions and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNA are largely unclear. Herein, we obtained 3,158 lncRNAs by microarray re-annotation. A global network of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) was developed for AD and normal samples were based on the gene expressions profiles. […]

White Matter Abnormalities in Patients With Parkinson’s Disease: A Meta-Analysis of Diffusion Tensor Imaging Using Tract-Based Spatial Statistics

Background: Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) studies based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) have revealed extensive abnormalities in white matter (WM) fibers of Parkinson’s disease (PD); however, the results were inconsistent. Therefore, a meta-analytical approach was used in this study to find the most prominent and replicable WM abnormalities of PD.Methods: Online databases were systematically searched […]

Age- and Sex-Specific Standard Scores for the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test

The reliable, valid and economic assessment of social cognition is more relevant than ever in the field of clinical psychology. Theory of Mind is one of the most important socio-cognitive abilities but standardized assessment instruments for adults are rare. The Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) is well-established and captures the ability to […]
