Detecting malingered pain-related disability: classification accuracy of the test of memory malingering.

30 Aug 2009 This study used criterion groups validation to determine the accuracy of the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) in detecting malingered pain-related disability (MPRD) across a range of cutoffs in chronic pain patients undergoing psychological ... Read more...

Immunologically mediated dementias.

30 Aug 2009 Although most dementias are due to neurodegenerative or vascular disease, it is important to diagnose immunologically mediated dementias quickly because they can be both rapidly progressive and readily treatable. They usually affect function of ... Read more...

Potential of a unique antibody gene signature to predict conversion to clinically definite multiple sclerosis.

22 Jul 2009 We identified a unique antibody gene mutation pattern (i.e. "signature") in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) B cells from multiple sclerosis (MS) patients not present in control populations. Prevalence of the signature in CSF B cells of patients at risk to ... Read more...
