Hello! I previously edited this article for a course (also affiliated with Wiki Education) and have been keeping tabs on it as much as I could. At the time, I learned that we should avoid using documents such as the DSM to avoid copyright strikes. I noticed that after some edits to this article, the DSM itself is directly cited over a scientific review article discussing it (specifically in the Diagnosis (criteria) section). I wanted to ask about whether we could remove it, or if my understanding was incorrect. I am still learning so I hope this question isn't too bothersome!

This is not true. Brain biopsy is done in living patients and provides tissue for biopsy.

== Removal of precision medicine approaches from Research directions ==

Regarding , I would like to ask for clarification on the following questions:
* How is ] applicable here?
* Do we need ] for stating what research is being conducted?
* Why are the following references not ]? <ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Behl |first1=Tapan |last2=Kaur |first2=Ishnoor |last3=Sehgal |first3=Aayush |last4=Singh |first4=Sukhbir |last5=Albarrati |first5=Ali |last6=Albratty |first6=Mohammed |last7=Najmi |first7=Asim |last8=Meraya |first8=Abdulkarim M. |last9=Bungau |first9=Simona |date=September 2022 |title=The road to precision medicine: Eliminating the "One Size Fits All" approach in Alzheimer's disease |url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35780617/ |journal=Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & Pharmacotherapie |volume=153 |pages=113337 |doi=10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113337 |issn=1950-6007 |pmid=35780617}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Arafah |first1=Azher |last2=Khatoon |first2=Saima |last3=Rasool |first3=Iyman |last4=Khan |first4=Andleeb |last5=Rather |first5=Mashoque Ahmad |last6=Abujabal |first6=Khaled Abdullah |last7=Faqih |first7=Yazid Abdullilah Hassan |last8=Rashid |first8=Hina |last9=Rashid |first9=Shahzada Mudasir |last10=Bilal Ahmad |first10=Sheikh |last11=Alexiou |first11=Athanasios |last12=Rehman |first12=Muneeb U. |date=2023-01-25 |title=The Future of Precision Medicine in the Cure of Alzheimer's Disease |journal=Biomedicines |volume=11 |issue=2 |pages=335 |doi=10.3390/biomedicines11020335 |doi-access=free |issn=2227-9059 |pmc=9953731 |pmid=36830872}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Pauwels |first1=Ernest K.

* Why would the content on machine learning algorithms be kept if the content on precision medicine is not?

: I agree with removal of the section as ], ] and ] (also see ] recommendation). At every FA I've written, I have found it possible to cite the "Research directions" section to broad secondary reviews ''about research directions'' (see for example ] -- that is, not about the researched issue per se); we have to take care these sections not become trivia or promotional pushes of every bit of research being conducted, rather stay focused on what literature reviews ''indicate specifically'' are the important research directions. Exceptions have been made in the past for highly publicized new or research findings based on large and well-controlled samples that got pushed in broadsheet news, but adding even those makes me uncomfortable (] and ]). ] (]) 21:12, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks for replying! It makes sense for the most part, but I would like to point out that there is a really fine line between "broad secondary reviews about research directions" and ones "about the researched issue per se" in this case, as precision medicine is quite a broad area itself. Similarly, it is challenging to keep the balance between ] and up-to-date content (]), and I would argue that mentioning precision medicine would greatly improve the latter aspect of the article, since it seems to me that currently, precision medicine is the only at least somewhat promising research area.
::I have 2 followup questions:
::* Do you know any secondary reviews about research directions that are also recent? What do you think about this one?
::* Based on this, should the content on the machine learning algorithms be removed as well?
::] (]) 21:38, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
:::I agree with Sandy's skeptical assessment. "Precision" medicine is more generally "personalized" medicine which has been ongoing in assessment of AD for decades with disappointingly little progress of use to patients and their families. In your 3 sources, is there anything that can be considered on the edge a research breakthrough for diagnostic or treatment procedures? No. The sources seemed cherry-picked and were used in the original sentence to project a cure, which we all hope would occur, but does not exist.
::: MEDORG review on personalized medicine points out that it "is premature and inappropriate to use this research framework in general medical practice." Research showing progress and refinement of these methods would justify a sentence, but I am unaware of such a source.
:::The machine learning report was a real-world test on electronic records for predicting AD risk, published by a multicenter expert team. It seems reasonable to include mention of a rapidly-developing technology to improve AD risk assessment. ] (]) 22:13, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
::::If this is true "assessment of AD for decades with disappointingly little progress", we should definitely include it in the article, but what I've seen in the original 5 sources is that it's still very much being researched now and there are even some good preliminary results, in particular this pilot trial: <ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Toups |first1=Kat |last2=Hathaway |first2=Ann |last3=Gordon |first3=Deborah |last4=Chung |first4=Henrianna |last5=Raji |first5=Cyrus |last6=Boyd |first6=Alan |last7=Hill |first7=Benjamin D. |last8=Hausman-Cohen |first8=Sharon |last9=Attarha |first9=Mouna |last10=Chwa |first10=Won Jong |last11=Jarrett |first11=Michael |last12=Bredesen |first12=Dale E. |date=2022 |title=Precision Medicine Approach to Alzheimer's Disease: Successful Pilot Project |journal=Journal of Alzheimer's Disease: JAD |volume=88 |issue=4 |pages=1411–1421 |doi=10.3233/JAD-215707 |issn=1875-8908 |pmc=9484109 |pmid=35811518}}</ref>.
::::Here's a quote on which I would base this content: "The future of PM in AD is promising, as research continues to identify new biomarkers and targeted therapies.", from <ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Arafah |first1=Azher |last2=Khatoon |first2=Saima |last3=Rasool |first3=Iyman |last4=Khan |first4=Andleeb |last5=Rather |first5=Mashoque Ahmad |last6=Abujabal |first6=Khaled Abdullah |last7=Faqih |first7=Yazid Abdullilah Hassan |last8=Rashid |first8=Hina |last9=Rashid |first9=Shahzada Mudasir |last10=Bilal Ahmad |first10=Sheikh |last11=Alexiou |first11=Athanasios |last12=Rehman |first12=Muneeb U. |date=2023-01-25 |title=The Future of Precision Medicine in the Cure of Alzheimer's Disease |journal=Biomedicines |volume=11 |issue=2 |pages=335 |doi=10.3390/biomedicines11020335 |doi-access=free |issn=2227-9059 |pmc=9953731 |pmid=36830872}}</ref>.
::::"The sources seemed cherry-picked": I tried to look for relatively recent reviews on Alzheimer's research, and I found this one: , which also mentions precision medicine. Please let me know if you have a better one that's also recent - the one you linked is not within 5 years and this is a heavily researched area so ] definitely applies.
::::As for calling it "a cure", we can refine the sentence, but I think it would be important to include it in some way. I would also consider precision medicine a "rapidly-developing technology", just like machine learning-based prediction.

::::::It was definitely good advice in general, but there are certain exceptions it seems, especially related to ]. So I've been trying to take a middle-ground approach where I do make a few bold (controversial) edits like this one, but most of my effort is not spent on these, but on getting familiar with articles, editing styles and policies instead, both by making less controversial edits and by observing what others do. I totally get what you mean by the ], and I also agree that it's slowly improving.
::::::I'm glad you like these sources, I do too! To me, it seems like ] is the only promising research direction currently, but I'd be more than happy to see other approaches show promise as well.
::::::I'm planning to read a bit more about the topic, as well as try to find more (and "better") sources just to make sure I'm also not missing anything, and then come up with a suggestion that will hopefully move us toward a better consensus. ] (]) 18:44, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Amyloid beta theory under scrutiny

Should the article be updated to reflect the doubts about the amyloid beta plaque theory? The paper on which that theory is based is under investigation for fraud now. Source: https://www.science.org/content/article/potential-fabrication-research-images-threatens-key-theory-alzheimers-disease 2A02:A449:F9AB:0:D0DE:BAA9:81BC:728A (talk) 19:32, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

As described in Sylvain Lesné#Impact on Alzheimer's research, the consensus seems to be that the alleged manipulation would not invalidate most of the research into the amyloid hypothesis. But since the report and the consequences have garnered significant attention from researchers as well as the general public, it would perhaps be a good improvement to mention it briefly in the history section. What do you think @SandyGeorgia? (pinging you since you wrote most of the content covering this investigation). Bendegúz Ács (talk) 21:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the ping ... I agree with Bendeguz Acs that the sources indicate the alleged manipulation has little impact on most research, hence is not worthy of mention in the main article. As to whether it warrants a mention in the History section, my approach (particularly for a former featured article) is to include only that which has been covered by secondary overall literature reviews -- the Lesne/Ashe issue has not risen to that level yet. Since this article has fallen from FA status, I won't strenuously object if it is added to History, but the standard I prefer is to base History on mention in overall literature reviews of the condition. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:37, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Update: Bendegúz Ács considering this update from Piller (and the changes I just made at Sylvain Lesné), it seems there is some disagreement as to whether the findings cast doubt upon the prevailing amyloid hypothesis. Considering this is the most highly cited paper ever retracted, perhaps a one- or two- sentence summary at Biochemistry_of_Alzheimer's_disease#Amyloid_hypothesis is warranted? I'm out of time for today, and although I did (partially) update Lesné, I haven't yet updated Karen Ashe, in case you have time to work there -- I am going to be fairly busy through Friday. Thanks for keeping up with this! I still don't find it necessary to make changes to this article, as we don't overplay the amyloid hypothesis here, and it is covered in detail at the Biochemistry of article.
