    Title translation Blood Based Biomarker for Optimization of Early and Differential Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Dementia.
    Abstract Aim: Dementia in Alzheimer´s disease is a global challenge. There is growing evidence that investigating blood biomarkers to diagnose Alzheimer´s disease is a promising fast, minimally invasive, and less costly method. The aim of this study was to review available studies on promising biomarkers for Alzheimer´s disease.
    Method: The latest studies were collated for this review.
    Results: Immunoassays followed by mass spectrometry and immunomagnetic reduction were reported to be highly relevant methods for detecting amyloid-ß 42 (Aß42) and amyloid-ß 40 (Aß40) to calculate the Aß42/Aß40 ratio, thereby improving the early diagnosis of Alzheimer´s disease. Amyloid-ß (Aß) peptides in blood plasma were considered as potential markers, as they correlated with the brain's Aß pathology. Phosphorylated tau protein 181 (p-tau181), phosphorylated tau protein 217 (p-tau217) and phosphorylated tau protein 231 (p-tau231) in blood samples assessed via Simoa technology served as parameters for the early and differential diagnosis of AD, and were markers of tau pathology in the brain. Neurofilament light chain (Nfl) and glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) were additional markers possibly facilitating the assessment of axonal and astroglial brain damage in Alzheimer´s disease. GFAP in blood was useful as an additional marker to detect early and to predict the time course of Alzheimer´s disease.
    Conclusions: Determining blood biomarkers represents less invasive and less costly diagnostics for Alzheimer´s disease. The investigation of blood biomarkers such as the Aß42/Aß40 ratio, p-tau217, p-tau231, Nfl and GFAP have been promising in establishing the AT(N) classification for Alzheimer´s disease. High-throughput methods should be evaluated in large patient cohort studies and via meta-analyses of studies. Consensus criteria with standard protocols for measuring these biomarkers while considering ethical issues and Alzheimer´s phenotype should unify normative values from different laboratories. The AT(N) classification of Alzheimer´s disease in blood would be a key element towards the implementation of minimally-invasive precision medicine.

    Title translation Cerebrospinal fluid markers in early diagnosis of Alzheimer dementia.
    Abstract Cerebrospinal fluid-based neurochemical dementia diagnostics (CSF-NDD) is meanwhile validated on S3 evidence level and international dementia guidelines like those of the German neuropsychiatric associations (DGPPN, DGN; http://www.DGPPN.de) recommend CSF-NDD for the improved early and differential diagnostics of multigenetic (sporadic) Alzheimer's Dementia (AD). CSF-NDD does also offer a predictive diagnosis of incipient AD for high-risk patients when they are still within the prodromal stage of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). But since currently no (secondary) preventive therapy of AD is available, the use of CSF-NDD for the predictive molecular diagnosis of AD is not recommended by the latter guidelines. However, molecular diagnostics of preclinical AD by CSF-NDD and/or [18F]Amyloid-PET has meanwhile gained high clinical relevance for therapeutic clinical research, as this novel clinical model allows to systematically screen for promising (secondary) preventive therapy options. Moreover, future blood based neurochemical diagnostics of preclinical or early AD by means of multiplex assays seems to be promising. However, so far blood assays were not consistently validated by independent research groups and in contrast to CSF-NDD a blood-based diagnosis of AD is not yet available.

    Title translation The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Alzheimer's Disease - Personalized Diagnostics and Therapy.
    Abstract Using the example of dementia in Alzheimer's disease, it is shown which opportunities but also risks are posed by newer methodological approaches of artificial intelligence (AI) for the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's dementia (AD). In addition, AI is examined in the context of an ethical-philosophical critique of technology.

    Abstract Background: GAD65 autoimmunity is reported to be associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. However, there has been no evidence that glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) autoantibodies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are associated with akinetic catatonia in schizophrenia patients.
    Methods: We report the case of a 28-year-old man who underwent diagnostics including brain MRI, neuropsychological testing, and electroencephalography (EEG) as well as a tumor search
    Results: Our patient presented catatonia that responded somewhat to benzodiazepines in combination with previously taken antipsychotics such as risperidone for prediagnosed paranoid schizophrenia. Diagnostics revealed GAD65 autoantibodies in his serum and CSF. MRI revealed no brain lesion, and the tumor search had no malignancy. We diagnosed catatonic schizophrenia. Furthermore, as he had not fully recovered, he was given immunotherapy entailing two cycles of intravenous immunoglobulins. Subsequent neuropsychological testing due to subjective cognitive complaints after immunotherapy revealed no objective cognitive deficits.
    Conclusions: We present the novel finding of an association between GAD65 autoantibodies in the serum and CSF with catatonia in a patient suffering from prediagnosed chronic schizophrenia. Due to the presence of CSF GAD65 antibodies and the catatonia factor in prediagnosed schizophrenia, we suspect that his catatonia has an autoimmune origin. Immunotherapy stabilized the catatonia that had initially responded to lorazepam treatment. Further research should be done to characterize patients' responses to immunotherapy and standard treatment in a large cohort of patients with GAD65 antibody-associated catatonia and schizophrenia.

    Abstract Background: Glycine receptor antibody-associated neuropsychiatric disease is currently known to be dominated by the phenotypes stiff-person syndrome and progressive encephalomyelitis entailing rigidity and myoclonus. In our case series we aim to depict the less-often reported feature of cognitive impairment associated with glycine receptor antibodies.
    Methods: We investigated five patients with cognitive impairment varying from mild cognitive impairment to dementia associated with serum glycine receptor antibodies. Mild and major neurocognitive disorders were diagnosed according to the DSM-5 (fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). Neuropsychology via Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD) testing results, psychopathology data via the Manual for the Assessment and Documentation of Psychopathology in Psychiatry (AMDP), cerebrospinal fluid analysis and magnetic resonance imaging data were retrospectively analyzed from patient files.
    Results: We identified five patients with cognitive impairment as the main neuropsychiatric feature associated with serum glycine receptor antibodies. One patient also presented akinetic rigidity syndrome. The psychopathology comprised disorders of attention and memory, orientation, formal thought, and affect. In addition to suffering deficits in verbal memory function, figural recall, phonematic fluency, and globally deteriorated cognitive function, these patients presented seriously impaired memory recall in particular. Tau protein and phosphorylated tau protein 181 were elevated in 75% of patients.
    Conclusions: Our results suggest that axonal neurodegeneration and especially impaired verbal memory recall in addition to deficits in verbal and figural memory characterize patients with progressive cognitive impairment associated with glycine receptor antibodies. This unresolved issue should be clarified by researchers to discover whether axonal degeneration is merely an age-related phenomenon or one related to glycine-receptor autoantibodies in old age. Cognitive impairment as a neuropsychiatric syndrome of glycine-receptor antibody disease is a potential, conceivable, but so far unproven additional feature requiring deeper large-scale investigations and consideration during differential diagnosis in memory clinics.
