									<description>



























In 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) released the Intersectoral Global Action Plan (IGAP) on epilepsy and other neurologic disorders.

									<title>Comparison of prestroke frailty and disability for outcome prediction in older stroke patients</title>
				
									<description>




























Prestroke disability, measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), is routinely used in older (≥65 years) patients to predict stroke outcomes. Frailty, a common geriatric syndrome, is also associated with poor health outcomes but is rarely assessed in older stroke patients.

									<title>Neurofilament light chain and Alzheimer pathology biomarkers in elderly people with multiple sclerosis</title>
				
									<description>





























Neurofilament light chain (NfL) conventionally reflects disability worsening in multiple sclerosis (MS), but does not necessarily imply MS-specific mechanisms and could be affected by biological or pathological aging, including Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology. We aim to evaluate clinical correlates of plasma NfL (pNfL) in elderly patients with MS, and its associations with AD plasma biomarkers.

Alzheimer&#039;s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder for which there is currently no cure, and its incidence is on the rise. Early detection is essential for timely intervention and slowing the progression of the disease. While the brain structures of healthy aging individuals change gradually, the aging trajectories in AD patients deviate significantly...
