The effect of modified donanemab titration on amyloid-related imaging abnormalities with edema/effusions and amyloid reduction: 18-month results from TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 6

Elsevier,

Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease, Volume 12, 1 September 2025

The TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 6 study found that a modified donanemab titration regimen significantly reduced ARIA-E frequency and severity compared to standard dosing, while maintaining similar amyloid reduction. Safety profiles were comparable between the two arms. The modified titration approach may help mitigate risks associated with amyloid-targeting therapies in early Alzheimer's disease.

Expected Surgical Risk and the Risk of Stroke and Brain Injury After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Patient-Level Pooled Analysis

Elsevier,

Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, Volume 4, September 2025

The 30-day Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) has been used to risk-stratify patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Whether surgical mortality risk predicts stroke and neurocognitive outcomes following TAVR is unknown. We evaluated the association between STS-PROM and clinical outcomes, including stroke, acute brain injury on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI), and cognitive decline in patients undergoing TAVR.
