Purpose: To review the concepts of reliability and validity, provide examples of how the
concepts have been used in nursing research, provide guidance for improving the psychometric …

Mounting evidence indicates that microglial activation contributes to neuronal damage in
neurodegenerative diseases. Recent studies show that in response to certain environmental …

Inflammation, a common denominator among the diverse list of neurodegenerative diseases,
has recently been implicated as a critical mechanism responsible for the progressive …

(p < 0.001) and to 416 m after the second treatment (p = 0.03). All improvements persisted …

Microglia, the resident innate immune cells in the brain, have long been implicated in the
pathology of neurodegenerative diseases. Accumulating evidence points to activated microglia …
