Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sofia S Sanchez"
- Sofia S Sanchez's research primarily focuses on neurocysticercosis (NCC), particularly its associations with cognitive decline and hippocampal changes, highlighting that older, calcified infections correlate with hippocampal atrophy, while recent viable infections do not.
- Sanchez emphasizes the under-recognized prevalence of NCC in sub-Saharan Africa, presenting clinical cases that suggest a need for increased awareness and diagnosis in regions like the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
- Additionally, her study on amnestic mild cognitive impairment in senior citizens in Lima, Peru, sheds light on its frequency and related risk factors, indicating a growing concern for cognitive health in aging populations.
