The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease typically requires a microscopic analysis of plaques and tangles in brain tissue, usually at autopsy. [40] However, Aβ plaques (along with cerebral Aβ-amyloid angiopathy ) can be detected in the brains of living subjects by preparing radiolabeled agents that bind selectively to Aβ deposits in the brain ...
A myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is one of a group of cancers in which blood cells in the bone marrow do not mature, and as a result, do not develop into healthy blood cells. [3] Early on, no symptoms typically are seen. [3] Later, symptoms may include fatigue, shortness of breath, bleeding disorders, anemia, or frequent infections. [3]
