Leukoaraiosis (LA), as an age-related white matter degeneration, is mainly caused by chronic ischemia. Our study aims to explore the efficacy of different doses of atorvastatin (ATV) in the vascular endothelial function in patients with LA.Our study Although retinal and cerebral microvessels share similar embryological, anatomical and physiological characteristics, the correlation between retinopathy and leukoaraiosis (LA), a type of brain microvascular disease, is unclear. In the present study, the sample included 213 patients admitted to the
Leukaraiosis and a higher level of pulse pressure are well-recognized as associated with cardiovascular disease, vascular angiopathy, and geriatric syndrome. A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the relation between pulse pressure and leukoaraiosis based on brain magnetic resonance
To investigate the risk factors for leukoaraiosis (LA) and the correlation between risk factors and LA.The study comprised 92 patients with diagnoses of LA (LA group) and 56 non-LA individuals (control group). Data were collected for the following: age, gender, fasting blood glucose, total
Metabolically healthy obese (MHO) individual is known to be defended from the metabolic complications of obesity. Leukoaraiosis, which is commonly detected on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is now recognized as a risk of stroke, dementia and death. However, the association between MHO and
Leukoaraiosis (LA) describes abnormal changes in the cerebral white matter frequently seen on CT and MRI in older adults. Its appearance indicates mild brain injury, and it is often regarded as a mark of senile dementia. Through the analysis of related risk factors of 6000 patients with LA diagnosed
Our purpose is to screen out medical history indicators and test indicators linked to lipid metabolism which is closely correlated to leukoaraiosis (LA), and to build assistant diagnosis model based on support vector machine (SVM), which provided theoretical evidence for genesis and development of
Vascular Parkinsonism (VP) is referred to as secondary Parkinsonian syndrome. It occurs with lacunar state or sub-cortical white matter micro-angiopathy and is highly associated with vascular risk factors and leukoaraiosis, also known as cerebral white matter lesions (WML). This study aimed to
OBJECTIVE
We studied the natural course of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and lacunes, the main MRI representatives of small vessel disease, over time and evaluated possible predictors for their development.
METHODS
Baseline and repeat MRI (3-year follow-up) were collected within the
Leukoaraiosis refers to lesions of high signal intensities in periventricular and subcortical white matter, which result from chronic microvascular ischemic damage of the brain. Emerging evidence suggests that serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is elevated in cardiometabolic LA, altered white matter signal intensities seen on MR brain scans, has been shown to be associated with cerebrovascular risk factors and microangiopathy. Although the cerebrovascular system is also a target for sex hormones, little is known about the association between the two. In this study, we
OBJECTIVE
Dizziness/vertigo are important public heath care issues especially in elderly patients. Isolated dizziness/vertigo without neurological deficits has seldom been considered a symptom/sign due to vascular origin. Recently, some studies have suggested that vascular origin should be
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the lipoprotein profile in a group of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients.
METHODS
Twenty-four patients with AD and 32 elderly controls were evaluated. Fasting blood samples were obtained for determination of total VLDL, HDL and LDL cholesterol, lipoprotein (a), triglycerides,
BACKGROUND
The association of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is well known and its relationship with low serum cholesterol in ICH patients might be of interest.
METHODS
A total of 105 patients with ICH were evaluated. In all subjects cholesterol levels were measured
OBJECTIVE
To test possible differences between patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and patients with other forms of dementia and the healthy population concerning body composition, blood pressure, metabolic data and leukoaraiosis (LA).
METHODS
Retrospective study on data collected according to a
