Changes in Daily Functioning in Association With Tau and Amyloid Among Unimpaired Older Adults With and Without Elevated Amyloid
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Everyday functioning declines gradually over time in Alzheimer disease (AD), with the earliest changes potentially occurring at the preclinical stage. We investigated how changes in everyday functioning relate to (changes in) amyloid and tau in a large sample of cognitively unimpaired older adults, most of whom had elevated amyloid levels at the… →

Wrist-ankle acupuncture alleviates pain in the acute phase of herpes zoster: A randomized controlled trial
Alternative therapeutic strategies for herpes zoster, especially for acute phase pain relief, are still largely unexplored. This study aimed to compare the effects of wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with standard pharmacological treatment versus standard pharmacological treatment alone in relieving pain in the acute phase of herpes zoster. An open-label, randomized, controlled clinical trial was conducted, enrolling… →
