Does altered expression of IgG and complement receptors indicate a significant role of phagocytes in atopic dermatitis?
These results suggest that a distinct receptor profile of phagocytic cells can be characterized in patients with atopic dermatitis, providing a new direction to the search for early identification of children predisposed to allergic sensitization.
A previously designed risk score for dementia also predicts late-life cognitive impairment. Because such impairment can lead to complaints and functional consequences, also in individuals who do not progress to dementia, identification of individuals at risk is important and can help to target preventive strategies.
