Background: Both the genetic and pathological studies link Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2). A large number of studies have explored the value of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) soluble TREM2 (sTREM2) levels as a biomarker for the diagnosis and prediction of AD; however, the findings are inconsistent. We aimed […]

Objective: The aim of this study was twofold. First, to investigate the relationship between age, gray matter (GM), white matter (WM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volumes, brain reserve (BR), and specific regions of interest (ROIs) with global cognitive function in healthy older adults participating in a longitudinal study on aging in the island country of […]

Objective: Ischemic stroke is an important cause of death and disability worldwide. Early reperfusion by thrombolysis or thrombectomy has improved the outcome of acute ischemic stroke. However, the therapeutic window for reperfusion therapy is narrow, and adjuvant therapy for neuroprotection is demanded. Electrical stimulation (ES) has been reported to be neuroprotective in many neurological diseases. […]
