Identifying preclinical vascular dementia in symptomatic small vessel disease using MRI
Publication date: 2018Source: NeuroImage: Clinical, Volume 19Author(s): Christian Lambert, Eva Zeestraten, Owen Williams, Philip Benjamin, Andrew J. Lawrence, Robin G. Morris, Andrew D. Mackinnon, Thomas R. Barrick, Hugh S. MarkusAbstractSporadic cerebral small vessel disease is an important cause of vascular dementia, a syndrome of cognitive impairment together with vascular brain damage. At post-mortem pure vascular dementia is rare, with evidence of co-existing Alzheimer's disease pathology in 95% of cases. This work used MRI to characterize structural abnormalities during the preclinical phase of vascular dementia in s...

Texture Analysis of T1-Weighted and Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery Images Detects Abnormalities That Correlate With Cognitive Decline in Small Vessel Disease Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—TP, which can be obtained from routine clinical images, are abnormal in SVD, and the degree of abnormality correlates with executive dysfunction and global cognition at baseline and decline during 5 years. TP may be useful to assess disease severity in clinically collected data. This needs testing in data clinically acquired across multiple sites.

Anosognosia Is an Independent Predictor of Conversion From Mild Cognitive Impairment to Alzheimer's Disease and Is Associated With Reduced Brain Metabolism.
CONCLUSIONS: Anosognosia in AD is related to brain glucose hypometabolism. Further, anosognosia independently predicts conversion from MCI to AD. The absence of anosognosia may be clinically useful to identify those patients that are unlikely to convert from MCI to AD. PMID: 29022655 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Incidence and risk factors of leukoaraiosis from 4683 hospitalized patients: A cross-sectional study
This study revealed that the incidence of LA is high in hospitalized patients in China; moreover, age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, drinking, and abnormal HCY and LDL-C levels were found to be associated with overall LA risk, LA onset, or LA progression. These results provide insight into strategies for the prevention and treatment of LA.

White Matter Lesions are Associated with Specific Depressive Symptom Trajectories among Incident Depression and Dementia Populations: Three-City Dijon MRI Study.
CONCLUSION: The findings highlight that regional WMH volumes and specific depressive symptoms have clinical and prognostic relevance to help differentiate between persons at risk for depression and dementia. PMID: 28688824 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cerebrovascular disease affects brain structural integrity long before clinically overt strokes
In the current issue of Neurology®, Werden et al.1 examined a group of patients experiencing first-ever or recurrent stroke to understand the relationships between stroke and cortical structural integrity. They performed 3T magnetic resonance scanning within 6 weeks of the most recent stroke and found that stroke patients had smaller hippocampal volumes and greater white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume compared to controls. Because of the short time lag from stroke to scan, the authors do not believe that the index stroke itself caused the shrinkage in the hippocampus; rather, they believe that the stroke and the st...

Structural MRI markers of brain aging early after ischemic stroke
Conclusions: Brain structure is likely to be compromised before ischemic stroke by vascular risk factors. Smaller hippocampal and total brain volumes and increased WMH load represent proxies for underlying vascular brain injury.
