Department of Neurology, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94143 0114, USA
Neurology 62:363-8. 2004..Numerous studies have tested for associations between common variants of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene (ACE) and late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD), but results have been inconclusive...- Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T polymorphism and cognitive function in older womenJacob S Elkins
Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA
Am J Epidemiol 166:672-8. 2007..035). Although the strength of the observed associations was modest, these results lend some support to the theory that an elevated homocysteine level contributes to cognitive decline... - Validation and refinement of scores to predict very early stroke risk after transient ischaemic attackS Claiborne Johnston

Lancet 367:1319-27. 2006..The total costs and benefits to society of a clinical trial, the final step in testing an intervention, can be estimated by evaluating the effect of trial results on medical care and health... - Midlife obesity and long-term risk of nursing home admissionJacob S Elkins
Department of Neurology, University of California, 505 Parnassus Avenue, Box 0114, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA
Obesity (Silver Spring) 14:1472-8. 2006..We investigated whether obesity in middle-aged individuals influences the need for future nursing home care and whether the risk of nursing home admission associated with obesity is greater in whites than in blacks... 
Predictors and outcomes of intraprocedural rupture in patients treated for ruptured intracranial aneurysms: the CARAT studyLucas Elijovich
Department of Neurology, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143 0114, USA
Stroke 39:1501-6. 2008..Intraprocedural rupture (IPR) is a well known complication of intracranial aneurysm treatment. Risks and predictors of IPR and its impact on outcome have not been clearly established...- Cognitive function predicts first-time stroke and heart diseaseJacob S Elkins
University of California, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA
Neurology 64:1750-5. 2005..To investigate whether impaired cognitive function is an early manifestation of vascular injury in the brain and therefore predicts risk of subsequent cardiovascular disease... - Recruiting subjects for acute stroke trials: a meta-analysisJacob S Elkins
