Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common late-onset neurodegenerative disorder and cause of dementia, characterized by the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaque deposits. The heterogeneous nature of the disease (both genetically and environmentally) makes it difficult to prevent or cure. Without prevention, the prevalence of AD is expected to triple by 2050. However, because the diagnosis of AD is usually preceded by years of cognitive impairment, early detection may aid in reducing prevalence. Thus, there is a need for validated diagnostic measures for early and improved diagnosis and prevention. In this review, current and ongoing classifiers of early …
Investigating The Protective Effects Of Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase On Neuronal Metabolism And Resistance To Amyloid-Beta, Olivia Singh
Investigating The Protective Effects Of Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase On Neuronal Metabolism And Resistance To Amyloid-Beta, Olivia Singh
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Maintenance of telomere length during cell division is dependent on the catalytic subunit telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), which adds TTAGGG repeats to the ends of chromosomes to prevent telomere shortening during DNA replication. However, non-telomeric roles of TERT have emerged under oxidative stress whereby TERT translocates from the nucleus to the mitochondria and protects against mitochondrial dysfunction through a poorly defined mechanism. A major pathological feature of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the progressive accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide within the cortex and hippocampus. Aβ can directly interfere with mitochondrial respiration and promote mitochondrial dysfunction, ROS production, and neuronal cell death. …

Basic Science To Clinical Research: Segmentation Of Ultrasound And Modelling In Clinical Informatics, Ali K. Hamou
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The world of basic science is a world of minutia; it boils down to improving even a fraction of a percent over the baseline standard. It is a domain of peer reviewed fractions of seconds and the world of squeezing every last ounce of efficiency from a processor, a storage medium, or an algorithm. The field of health data is based on extracting knowledge from segments of data that may improve some clinical process or practice guideline to improve the time and quality of care. Clinical informatics and knowledge translation provide this information in order to reveal insights to …

Dementia is a clinical state caused by neurodegeneration and characterized by a loss of function in cognitive domains and behavior. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. Although the amyloid β (Aβ) protein and hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates in the brain are considered to be the key pathological hallmarks of AD, the exact cause of AD is yet to be identified. In addition, clinical diagnoses of AD can be error prone. Many previous studies have compared the clinical diagnosis of AD against the gold standard of autopsy confirmation and shown substantial AD misdiagnosis Hippocampal sclerosis of aging (HS-Aging) …
