Whereas Aβ likely plays a key role in the development of AD, amyloid deposition alone does not represent the entirety of the disease process or the totality of targets worth investigating for therapeutic intervention.

Following the meeting, we asked each expert to rate 200 unique intervention-setting-phase triads identified during the meeting based on the totality of their knowledge.
The author concluded that "publication bias is a serious threat to assessing the effectiveness of interventions in child health" and called for a registry of RCTs in children so that the totality of evidence could be assessed [ 51].
The treatment group received homoeopathic medicine on the basis of totality of symptoms and individualisation.
