Cardiac Function and the Risk of Dementia (P5.212)
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac function is associated with the risk of dementia and Alzheimer disease, independently of cardiovascular risk factors and stroke. These results suggest that subclinical cardiac dysfunction is an independent risk factor for dementia. Hence, the utility of echocardiography for screening purposes for dementia should be further investigated.Disclosure: Dr. de Bruijn has nothing to disclose. Dr. Leening has nothing to disclose.

Clinical Predictors Of A Higher Cerebrovascular Burden In Dementia : A Clinicopathological Study. (P5.218)
CONCLUSIONS: In this study based on an original neuropathological assessment of cerebrovascular lesions, arterial hypertension, later age at onset, and MRI markers of small vessel disease were identified as reliable and early predictors of higher post mortem cerebrovascular burden.Disclosure: Dr. Moulin has nothing to disclose.

Burden of Silent Cerebrovascular Disease and Not Acute Infarct Characteristics Determine Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment, Both in Small Vessel and Large Vessel Strokes (P5.222)
CONCLUSIONS:Our results highlight the importance of silent cerebral ischemia as a key determinant of PSCI. Though acute infarct may lead to acute decline in cognition, WMH is the likely factor determining the severity of cognitive impairment. Optimization of vascular risk factors in the general population might play an important role in reducing the prevalence of PSCI.Study Supported by:National Neuroscience Institute, SingaporeDisclosure: Dr. Poh has nothing to disclose.

Voltage Gated Calcium Channels Antibody-Associated Autoimmune Encephalitis (P5.228)
ConclusionThis case demonstrates a correlation between a high titer of VGCC antibodies and autoimmune encephalitis. Our patient's initial improvement with steroids and plasma exchange in the face of a negative CT and PET suggests a primary autoimmune process rather than a paraneoplastic etiology, though we admit that it is premature to rule out remission and we will continue to follow herDisclosure: Dr. Alwaki has nothing to disclose.

Long-term Outcomes of Parkinson's Disease Patients with Normal Cognition. (P5.260)
Conclusion:More than one-third of PD patients with NC develop cognitive impairment within 4 years, and the majority of new MCI cases convert to dementia within 3 years. Worse executive, language and memory abilities all predict future decline. These results are consistent with previous studies reporting that the overwhelming majority of PD patients develop cognitive impairment long-term, and have implications for understanding disease course and clinical care.Disclosure: Dr. Pigott has nothing to disclose.

Clinical Features of Mild Cognitive Impairment of the Cerebrovascular Type (MCI-CVD) (P3.200)
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that: 1) CVD is a prominent cause/contributor to MCI in community-based populations, 2) premortem identification of MCI-CVD rests on history of CVD risk factors and brain imaging, 3) standard neurological/neuropsychological examination cannot distinguish MCI-CVD from MCI-AD.Study Supported by: NIH P30AG028383 & R01NS014189Disclosure: Dr. Jicha has received personal compensation for activities with Quintiles.

Intermittent Temporal Slowing in Cognitively Normal Oldest-old: The 90+ EEG Study (P3.214)
CONCLUSIONS: In this preliminary study, asymptomatic ITS was not associated with subsequent cognitive decline in healthy oldest-old participants. ITS may represent a benign, aging phenomenon, as opposed to an underlying pathological process, and may not require further clinical work-up in the oldest-old. However, the small sample size limits our statistical power and the results warrant a larger study to confirm the findings.Study supported by: NIH grants T32NS045540 and R01AG21055 Disclosure: Dr. Bullain has nothing to disclose.

Video Tracking of Cancellation Is Sensitive to Acute Brain Impairment and Disability (P3.226)
CONCLUSIONS: Video tracking of search on cancellation offers a simple, inexpensive, non-intrusive method to assess executive control in a wide variety of brain-impaired patients and appears to tap cognitive functions important to functional recovery.Study Supported by: UAB Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Resident Scholarly Project ProgramDisclosure: Dr. Mullins has nothing to disclose.

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.

Cognitive Impairment in Healthy Filipino Adults with MRI Non-specific White Matter Change (P4.198)
CONCLUSIONS:Our results varied from majority of large-scale studies on NSWMC worldwide. In other studies the population did not exclude subjects with small hippocampus or previous history of stroke. Our study aims is to correlate NSWMC to cognitive decline in an otherwise healthy adult with no vascular or Alzheimers dementia. We conclude that in healthy Filipino adults with normal hippocampal volume and with no history of vascular strokes, the presence of NSWMC does not correlate with cognitive impairment.Disclosure: Dr. Talamera 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.
