… remission of depressive symptoms. In this model, prodromal symptoms emanate from the core pathological processes underlying the disorder and comprise the core syndrome as the earliest symptoms to appear, with episodes of depression representing the more pronounced peaks of symptomatology; the core …

Early detection of delirium in older medical inpatients: prodrome, predictors and motor subtyping
… were assessed daily for delirium development, prodromal features and motor subtype. Survival analysis models identified which prodromal features predicted the emergence of incident delirium in the cohort in the first week of admission. The Delirium Motor Subtype Scale-4 was used to ascertain …

VGF: a novel and predictive biomarker of Parkinson’s disease
… neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a prodromal phase in which non-motor symptoms precede the onset of classical motor impairments. Identifying reliable biomarkers capable of detecting PD during these early stages remains a major clinical challenge. VGF is a neurosecretory precursor …

A Neurophysiological Investigation of Sensory Gating in Adults with Down Syndrome: Relationships with Age, Cognition, and Dementia
… neurodegeneration during their lifetime. The prodromal stage of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), before any apparent cognitive decline, is difficult to characterise in DS due to diagnostic overshadowing, where comorbidities are misdiagnosed or de-emphasised and attributed to DS, instead of AD. …

The Relationship Between Neuropsychological Functioning, Biomarker AV-1451, and Subjective Memory Impairment in a Cognitively Normal Sample
<p>Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is often a prodromal stage for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) development, with those diagnosed with MCI at increased risk for developing AD. The present study aimed to provide data to support a prodromal stage of MCI via analysis utilizing the neuropsychological domain …
