Introduction: Oculomotor and gait dysfunctions are closely associated with cognition. However, oculo-gait patterns and their correlation with cognition in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) remain unclear.
Methods: Patients with CSVD from a hospital-based cohort (n = 194) and individuals with presumed early CSVD from a community-based cohort (n = 319) were included.
Introduction: Reliable, noninvasive early diagnostics of neuromuscular function in Bell's palsy, which causes facial paralysis and reduced quality of life, remain to be established. Here, we aimed to evaluate the utility of the motor unit number index (MUNIX) for the quantitative electrophysiological assessment of early-stage Bell's palsy, its correlation with clinical assessments, changes following treatment, and association with clinical prognosis.
Methods: MUNIX measures were recorded from the bilateral zygomaticus, orbicularis oculi, and orbicularis oris muscles of 10 healthy individuals and 64 patients with Bell's palsy.
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the mean upper cervical spinal cord cross-sectional area (MUCCA) and the risk and severity of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
Methods: Community-dwelling residents in Lishui City, China, from the cross-sectional survey in the PRECISE cohort study (Polyvascular Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and Vascular Events) conducted from 2017 to 2019. We included 1644 of 3067 community-dwelling adults in the PRECISE study after excluding those with incorrect, incomplete, insufficient, or missing clinical or imaging data.
Article Synopsis
- - Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) significantly affects the health of older adults, but comprehensive data on its prevalence in the general population is still limited.
- - A study conducted in Lishui, China, included over 3,000 participants aged 50-75 years, using advanced MRI to assess various CSVD markers, finding a 30.5% prevalence of these markers, especially confluent white matter hyperintensity.
- - Key risk factors identified were age and hypertension, emphasizing the need for proactive screening and management of vascular risks among community-dwelling adults.
High plasma levels of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and its precursor choline have been linked to stroke; however, their association with cerebral small vessel disease remains unclear. Here we evaluated the association of plasma levels of TMAO and choline with imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease, including white matter hyperintensities, lacunes, and cerebral microbleeds. We performed a baseline cross-sectional analysis of a multicenter hospital-based cohort study from 2015 to 2018.
