New paper alert: A two-cutoff CSF Aβ42/40 approach improves Aβ detection in real world clinical settings. CSF Aβ42/40≥7.1 rules out amyloid, while ratios~5.5–7.1 benefit from Aβ PET. Key for Lecanemab stratification. #Alzheimers #Biomarkers

Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage & neurological problems, from their reports — and in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves.
