Accelerated long-term forgetting in presymptomatic autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease: a cross-sectional study.
(Elsevier, 2018-02)Tests sensitive to presymptomatic changes in Alzheimer's disease could be valuable for clinical trials. Accelerated long-term forgetting-during which memory impairment becomes apparent over longer periods than usually ... -
Activating germline mutations in STAT3 cause early-onset multi-organ autoimmune disease.
(Nature, 2014-08)Monogenic causes of autoimmunity provide key insights into the complex regulation of the immune system. We report a new monogenic cause of autoimmunity resulting from de novo germline activating STAT3 mutations in five ... -
Acute bronchodilator responses decline progressively over 4 years in patients with moderate to very severe COPD.
(BioMed Central, 2014-08-31)We previously reported a progressive decline in absolute responses of FEV1 and FVC to a near-maximal dose of 2 different short-acting bronchodilators over 4 years. Since varying host factors and the method of expressing ... -
