Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer

Her primary scientific interests are in Pathology, Alzheimer's disease, Dementia, Tau protein and Central nervous system disease. In Pathology, Irina Alafuzoff works on issues like Neurology, which are connected to Alzheimer's disease biomarkers. Her Alzheimer's disease research includes themes of Biopsy, Brain biopsy and Cerebrospinal fluid.

As a part of the same scientific family, Irina Alafuzoff mostly works in the field of Dementia, focusing on Neuroscience and, on occasion, Dementia with Lewy bodies and Alpha-synuclein. Her work deals with themes such as Paraffin section, Protein aggregation, Staging procedure and Phosphorylation, which intersect with Tau protein. The Central nervous system disease study combines topics in areas such as Substantia nigra, Predictive value of tests, Anatomical pathology and Intracranial pressure.

Her most cited work include:

  • Staging of Alzheimer disease-associated neurofibrillary pathology using paraffin sections and immunocytochemistry. (1620 citations)
  • Correlation of Alzheimer Disease Neuropathologic Changes With Cognitive Status: A Review of the Literature (1050 citations)
  • Nomenclature and nosology for neuropathologic subtypes of frontotemporal lobar degeneration: an update (699 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Pathology, Alzheimer's disease, Disease, Internal medicine and Dementia. Irina Alafuzoff combines subjects such as Neurology and Central nervous system disease with her study of Pathology. Her studies in Alzheimer's disease integrate themes in fields like Apolipoprotein E, Cerebrospinal fluid and Degenerative disease.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Endocrinology, Oncology and Cardiology in addition to Internal medicine. Her Dementia research includes themes of Amyloid and Autopsy. Her studies in Neuropathology integrate themes in fields like Frontotemporal lobar degeneration and Corticobasal degeneration.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Pathology (71.77%)
  • Alzheimer's disease (24.02%)
  • Disease (26.73%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Pathology (71.77%)
  • Internal medicine (24.02%)
  • Neurology (24.02%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her primary areas of investigation include Pathology, Internal medicine, Neurology, Dementia and Disease. In the subject of general Pathology, her work in Alzheimer's disease, Immunohistochemistry and Neuropathology is often linked to In patient, thereby combining diverse domains of study. As part of her studies on Alzheimer's disease, she frequently links adjacent subjects like Frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

Her research on Neurology also deals with topics like

  • Brain biopsy which connect with Normal pressure hydrocephalus,
  • Atrophy that intertwine with fields like Temporal lobe. In her study, Mini–Mental State Examination is inextricably linked to Biomarker, which falls within the broad field of Dementia. Her research investigates the connection with Disease and areas like normal pressure hydrocephalus which intersect with concerns in Shunt surgery and Cognitive impairment.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE): consensus working group report. (300 citations)
  • Aging-related tau astrogliopathy (ARTAG): harmonized evaluation strategy (225 citations)
  • Altered Proteins in the Aging Brain. (87 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer

Irina Alafuzoff spends much of her time researching Pathology, Neurology, Dementia, Internal medicine and Disease. Her specific area of interest is Pathology, where Irina Alafuzoff studies Aging brain. Her Neurology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Incidence, Brain biopsy, Normal pressure hydrocephalus, Cohort and Comorbidity.

In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Incidence, Alzheimer's disease is strongly linked to Physiology. The various areas that Irina Alafuzoff examines in her Dementia study include Apolipoprotein E and Autopsy. Her Disease study incorporates themes from Surgery and Radiology.
