Inflammatory biomarkers and MRI visible perivascular spaces: The Framingham Heart Study
Neurobiol Aging. 2023 Mar 6;127:12-22. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2023.03.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe studied the association between inflammatory biomarkers and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visible perivascular spaces (PVS) in Framingham Heart Study participants free of stroke and dementia. PVS in the basal ganglia (BG) and centrum semiovale (CSO) were rated with validated methods and categorized based on counts. A mixed score of high PVS burden in neither, one or both regions was also evaluated. We related biomarkers representing various inflammatory mechanisms to PVS burden using multivariable ordinal l...

Transgender health and the impact of aging and menopause
Climacteric. 2023 Apr 3:1-7. doi: 10.1080/13697137.2023.2176217. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is used by many transgender people to reduce gender incongruence and improve psychological functioning. As GAHT shares many similarities with menopausal hormone therapy, clinicians supporting people through menopause are ideally placed to manage GAHT. This narrative review provides an overview of transgender health and discusses long-term effects of GAHT to consider when managing transgender individuals across the lifespan. Menopause is less relevant for transgender individuals who take GAH...

Supervised, Self-Administered Tablet-Based Cognitive Assessment in Neurodegenerative Disorders and Stroke
Conclusions: This tablet-based application was found to be widely acceptable to participants. This study supports the validity of these tablet-based assessments in the differentiation of healthy controls from patients with neurocognitive deficits in a variety of cognitive domains and across multiple neurological disease etiologies.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord

The relationship between the baseline geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and neurological function at the convalescence stage in patients with stroke: a cross-sectional study
Malnutrition is a common complication after stroke and may worsen neurological outcomes for patients. There are still no uniform tools for screening nutritional status for the patients with stroke. We aimed to...

Implications of frailty in acute ischemic stroke receiving endovascular treatment: systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Pre-stroke frailty is an important predictor of poor prognosis assessed by EVT and can be added to the classical predictors of stroke outcome. Routine assessment of pre-stroke frailty can help patients to make decisions about the efficacy of their choice of EVT.PMID:36964867 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02383-1

Straight from the heart: Mysterious lipids may predict cardiac problems better than cholesterol
Stephanie Blendermann, 65, had good reason to worry about heart disease. Three of her sisters died in their 40s or early 50s from heart attacks, and her father needed surgery to bypass clogged arteries. She also suffered from an autoimmune disorder that results in chronic inflammation and boosts the odds of developing cardiovascular illnesses. “I have an interesting medical chart,” says Blendermann, a real estate agent in Prior Lake, Minnesota.
Yet Blendermann’s routine lab results weren’t alarming. At checkups, her low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad,” cholesterol hovered around the 100 milligrams-per-...

The impact of stroke on the ability to live an independent life at old age: a community-based cohort study of Swedish men
Few studies with controls from the same cohort have investigated the impact of stroke on the ability to live an independent life at old age. We aimed to analyze how great an impact being a stroke survivor woul...
