Association of plasma amyloid-β oligomerization with theta/beta ratio in older adults.

Background: Oligomeric Aβ (OAβ) is a promising candidate marker for Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a potential tool for early detection of AD. Still, whether EEG power ratios, particularly the theta/alpha ratio (TAR) and theta/beta ratio (TBR), reflect Aβ burden-a primary mechanism underlying cognitive impairment and AD.

Association Between the Loss of Gait Harmony and Cognitive Impairment: Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Functional limitations and disabilities have been associated with a decrease in cognitive function due to increasing age. Gait performance and cognitive function have been associated with gait variability in executive function, the phase domain in memory, and gait abnormalities in cognitive decline.

Objective: Our study aimed to investigate whether gait harmony was associated with cognitive function in the older adult population.

Use of electroencephalogram, gait, and their combined signals for classifying cognitive impairment and normal cognition.

Background: Early identification of people at risk for cognitive decline is an important step in delaying the occurrence of cognitive impairment. This study investigated whether multimodal signals assessed using electroencephalogram (EEG) and gait kinematic parameters could be used to identify individuals at risk of cognitive impairment.

Methods: The survey was conducted at the Veterans Medical Research Institute in the Veterans Health Service Medical Center.

Diagnostic Performance for Differential Diagnosis of Atypical Parkinsonian Syndromes from Parkinson's Disease Using Quantitative Indices of F-FP-CIT PET/CT.

We are aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performances of quantitative indices obtained from dual-phase F-FP-CIT PET/CT for differential diagnosis of atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APS) from Parkinson's disease (PD). We analyzed 172 subjects, including 105 non-Parkinsonism, 26 PD, 8 PSP, 1 CBD, 8 MSA-P, 9 MSA-C, and 15 DLB retrospectively. Two sequential PET/CT scans were acquired at 5 min and 3 h.

Chronic Status of Serum Albumin and Cognitive Function: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Previous studies have found an association between serum albumin levels and cognitive function. However, the results of this association are inconsistent, and the effect of Apolipoprotein E (APOE) on the association is less clear. Using retrospective cohort data (2008-2020), we investigated whether chronic serum albumin was associated with cognitive performance in older adults.

Serum sodium in relation to various domains of cognitive function in the elderly US population.

Background: Recent evidence suggests that sodium imbalances may be associated with cognitive impairment; however, the association between specific domains of cognition remains unclear. This study examines the association between serum sodium levels and immediate and delayed verbal memory as measured by the CERAD Word Learning Test (CERAD WLT), executive function as measured by the Animal Fluency test (AFT), and sustained attention, working memory, and processing speed as measured by the Digit Symbol Substitution test (DSST) in the elderly population of the US aged 60 and older who participated in the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (n = 2,541).

Methods: Cognitive function tests were performed by trained interviewers and sodium levels were measured using indirect ion selective electrode methodology.

Characterization of idiopathic Parkinson's disease subgroups using quantitative gait analysis and corresponding subregional striatal uptake visualized using F-FP-CIT positron emission tomography.

Background: Gait disturbance is one of the most common symptoms among patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). Nevertheless, Parkinson's disease subtype clustering according to gait characteristics has not been thoroughly investigated.

Research Question: The aim of this study was to identify subgroups according to gait pattern among patients with IPD.

Gait Patterns in Parkinson's Disease with or without Cognitive Impairment.

Background And Purpose: Cognitive and gait disturbance are common symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). Although the relationship between cognitive impairment and gait dysfunction in PD has been suggested, specific gait patterns according to cognition are not fully demonstrated yet. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate gait patterns in PD patients with or without cognitive impairment.

Efficacy and Safety of a Large Conjunctival Autograft for Recurrent Pterygium.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pterygium excision using a large conjunctival autograft for the treatment of recurrent pterygium.

Methods: The medical records of 120 patients (126 eyes) with recurrent pterygium were reviewed. For each affected eye, pterygium excision with a large conjunctival autograft was performed.

Hypertension and Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Patients with Drug-Naïve Alzheimer's Disease.

Background And Purpose: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) such as anxiety, depression, and delusions affect up to 90% of all patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). NPS is associated with significant caregiver burden and patient distress. Given the severe burden of NPS in AD, it is critical to know potential modifiable risk factors of NPS in AD.

Unusual FDG-PET Findings in Traumatic Brain Injury; Did Traumatic Brain Injury Provoke Rapid Progression of Alzheimer's Disease?

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common, and is often the leading cause of disability and death. Complications after TBI include increased risk for chronic central nervous system disease, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the pathophysiology relating acute injury to neurodegeneration is unclear.

Differences in the clinical manifestations and short-term prognosis of acute cerebral infarction after exposure to Agent Orange.

Background: Agent Orange (AO) is the code name for one of the herbicides and defoliants used in the Vietnam War. Studies conducted thus far show a significant correlation between AO and the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. But there is little data on the association between AO and stroke, and limited studies have targeted patient groups exposed to AO.

Structural and functional improvements due to robot-assisted gait training in the stroke-injured brain.

Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) can improve walking ability after stroke. Because the underlying mechanisms are still unknown, we analyzed changes in post-stroke injured brains after RAGT. Ten non-ambulatory patients receiving inpatient rehabilitation were examined within 3 months of stroke onset.

Hydrocephalus in Patient with Multiple System Atrophy: Innocent Bystander or Guilty Party?

Background: Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a poorly understood condition, which typically presents with the triad of gait disturbance, urinary incontinence and cognitive decline. Diagnosis of NPH is often challenging due to its varied presentation and overlap with other neurodegenerative diseases including multiple system atrophy (MSA).

Case Report: A 68-year-old male developed rapidly progressive gait difficulty, urinary incontinence and memory impairment.

Autologous Platelet-rich Plasma Eye Drops in the Treatment of Recurrent Corneal Erosions.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) eye drops in the treatment of recurrent corneal erosions (RCE).

Methods: A total of 47 eyes were included in this retrospective study. Clinical records of 20 consecutive patients with RCE who had been treated with conventional lubricant eye drops (conventional treatment group) from June 2006 to December 2008 and 27 consecutive patients treated with autologous PRP eye drops in addition to lubricant eye drops (PRP eye drops treated group) from January 2009 to September 2014 were reviewed.

Aim: To find the risk factors related to the reproliferation of the pterygial tissue after excision and graft surgery.

Methods: Charts of 130 eyes of 130 patients who had pterygial excision from March 2006 to April 2011 were reviewed. Preoperative pterygium morphology, surgical methods, and adjunctive treatments were statistically analyzed for their relationship with recurrence.

The impact of prior antithrombotic status on cerebral infarction in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Background: Anticoagulation effectively prevents cardioembolic stroke in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, whereas it is less effective than antiplatelet therapy (AT) in noncardioembolic stroke prevention. We hypothesized that the ischemic lesion pattern and vascular patency would differ according to the antithrombotic treatment status in AF patients.

Methods: The medical records of 1078 acute ischemic stroke patients with AF were retrospectively reviewed.

Changes in regional brain glucose metabolism measured with F-18-FDG-PET in essential tremor.

Background: There is growing evidence that essential tremor (ET) is a multiple-system disorder. Previous PET studies in ET typically have measured brain oxygen consumption and cerebral blood flow.

Purpose: To compare ET patients with control subjects to investigate any regional change in cerebral glucose metabolism through statistical parametric mapping (SPM) analysis of F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-18-FDG-PET).

Bilateral nongranulomatous uveitis with infective endocarditis.

A 32-year-old male who had infective endocarditis complained of photophobia and blurred vision in both eyes. Biomicroscopic examination and fundus examination revealed anterior chamber reaction, vitritis, optic disc swelling, and Roth spots. He was diagnosed with bilateral nongranulomatous uveitis and treated with topical steroid eye drops and posterior sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone.

A Case of Prosopometamorphopsia Restricted to the Nose and Mouth with Right Medial Temporooccipital Lobe Infarction that Included the Fusiform Face Area.

Background: Metamorphopsia includes a broad spectrum of visual perceptual distortions, such as alteration of perceived object size or, rarely, altered perception of faces, termed prosopometamorphopsia.

Case Report: This report describes a patient who complained of metamorphopsia restricted to the center of the face, particularly the lower part of the face (nose and mouth), following infarction of the right medial temporooccipital lobe that included the fusiform face area.

Conclusions: The fusiform face area is commonly believed to be a face-selective cortical region dedicated to the visual analysis of face stimuli.
