Association of ankle-brachial index with cognitive decline in patients with lacunar infarction
This study aimed to investigate the relationship of ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) with cognitive function in patients with lacunar infarction. We included records of consecutive patients with their first-ever acute stroke and a diagnosis of lacunar infarction through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2018. We excluded patients diagnosed with dementia, including strategic single-infarct dementia, before or after stroke onset. Moreover, we excluded patients with one or more microbleeds, severe white matter lesions, or severe medial temporal...

Return to Work for People With Aphasia
Right now, about 2.5 million people in the United States are living with aphasia after stroke.1 Aphasia can make it difficult to talk, listen, read, and/or write. Stroke is the most common cause of aphasia, but it can also happen after a traumatic brain injury (eg, blow to the head), a brain tumor, brain infection, or a neurodegenerative disease (eg, Alzheimer's dementia).2 Many people with aphasia are of working age, and this number is going up as more young people in the United States are sustaining stroke.

Prevalence and Clinical Predictors of Cognitive Impairment in Individuals Aged 80 Years and Older in Rural China.
Conclusions: The observed raw prevalence of CI was 73.2%. Female gender and a history of a previous stroke increased the risk of CI, while a higher educational level and engagement in social activities reduced the risk of CI. © 2013 S. Karger AG, Basel.

Taking Neurology to the Underserved - A Pilot Initiative in an Urban Homebound Program (P6.007)
CONCLUSIONS: Our pilot program highlights types of chronic neurologic illnesses afflicting the homebound population, treatment interventions utilized, and clinical challenges encountered. By considering the real-world intersection of disease and living environment, trainees gained perspective on the debilitating impact of neurological illness on homebound patients. This pilot program reveals the need and feasibility of neurological home based care as an important clinical, educational, and palliative paradigm.Disclosure: Dr. Ramdhani has nothing to disclose.

Hypercholesterolemia and Neurological Diseases Related Mortality in the NEDICES Cohort (P6.030)
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term overall mortality rate is lower among elderly subjects with HC when compared to those without HC. This association is justified mainly by a decrease in non-cardiovascular mortality, without any association of HC with cause-specific or combined cardiovascular or neurological causes of mortality.Study Supported by: Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII), Spain.Disclosure: Dr. Sierra-Hidalgo has nothing to disclose.

Leftward Where Bias And Rightward Distraction In Chronic Neglect. (P7.293)
CONCLUSIONS: We replicated previously reported, leftward Where bias in chronic neglect. Future longitudinal research can explore whether ipsilateral neglect caused rightward Aiming errors with right distraction, or whether occurs typically in contralesional neglect. N- participants demonstrated near, not far, asymmetric Aiming. Whether our findings relate to visuo-motor function instroke /neglect (e.g. fall risk) requires further study.Study Supported by: NIDRR/NIHDisclosure: Dr. Barrett has received personal compensation for activities with WebMD.

Factor Scores for Brain Reserve, Alzheimer and Vascular Pathology are Independent Risk Factors for Dementia in a Population-based Cohort Study: The Kame Project (S58.006)
CONCLUSIONS: Brain reserve appears to play a very important role in buffering the effects of Alzheimer and vascular pathology on dementia risk. Simple reaction time, which clustered with education and verbal IQ, provides an easily-obtained measure of reserve.Study Supported by: NIA: R01 AG09769.Disclosure: Dr. Borenstein has nothing to disclose.

Comparing Semi-quantitative and Volumetric Measurements of MRI White Matter Hyperintensities: The Northern Manhattan Study (S62.007)
CONCLUSIONS: Our volumetric and visual rating measures of WMH were strongly correlated, but the volumetric measure was associated with more risk factors in this community-based sample. User-friendly WMH scales that capture vascular risk are needed to develop risk-prediction scores for WMH lesion burden.Study Supported by:Evelyn F.

Lack of vitamin D may 'raise dementia risk'
Conclusion
This cohort study of more than 1,650 elderly people has found that over 5.6 years, severe vitamin D deficiency is associated with approximately twice the risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
It also found moderate deficiency is associated with a 50% increase in risk compared with healthy levels of vitamin D.
With this being a cohort study, it was not able to show that low levels of vitamin D caused dementia or Alzheimer's disease – it was simply able to show an association.
Other factors that can increase the risk of developing dementia, such as a poor diet, lack of activity and general poor h...

White Matter Microstructural Integrity Is Associated with Executive Function and Processing Speed in Older Adults with Coronary Artery Disease.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that WM microstructural integrity may be an important neural correlate of executive function even in cognitively intact CAD patients. This study suggests WM damage may be relevant to subtle cognitive decline in a population that may have early neural risk for dementia.

This Vitamin Could Save Your Life
For years, I’ve recommended that my patients take a special family of super-nutrients with the power to boost their health and save their lives in at least a half a dozen ways.
I’m talking about tocotrienols, an especially potent form of vitamin E.
Tocotrienols, which comprise four out of the eight types of vitamin E, are powerful antioxidants that until recently were ignored by mainstream medicine.
But the patients at my wellness clinic and regular readers of my newsletter will know that I’ve recommended them as a critical nutrient for years.
And I do it because almost daily I observe the effects of the...
