Is amyloid linked to cognitive decline in patients with Parkinson disease without dementia?
At baseline measurements, amyloid burden does not distinguish between cognitively impaired and unimpaired subjects with PD without dementia, but our data suggest that amyloid contributes to cognitive, but not motor, decline over time.
Greater decrease in weight percentile from baseline to admission predicts failure to recover BMI percentile 1 year after a pulmonary exacerbation. Children with CF with poor growth preceding a pulmonary exacerbation continue to be at risk for long-term nutritional failure despite treatment for pulmonary exacerbation.
