Background And Objectives: Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) represents the ability of cerebral blood vessels to regulate blood flow in response to vasoactive stimuli and is related to cognition in cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative conditions. However, few studies have examined CVR in the medial temporal lobe, known to be affected early in Alzheimer disease and to influence memory function. We aimed to examine whether medial temporal CVR is associated with memory function in older adults with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is one of the leading causes of death in patients with myocardial infarction, myocarditis, and congestive heart failure. The utilization patterns of specialist palliative care (PC) consultation in these patients are currently unknown. To determine the utilization of PC in patients with CS and the overall comorbidities of that population.

While existing imaging studies have established connections between ChP volume changes and age-related neurodegenerative diseases, a comprehensive investigation into the microstructural and vascular changes associated with aging remains insufficient. This study aims to explore ChP changes in normal aging using diffusion and perfusion MRI in the HCP-Aging dataset to enhance our understanding of age-related microstructural and vascular changes in the ChP.

Background: The brain's ability to perform a cognitive task is a dynamic process and requires small blood vessels to dilate or constrict in real time to adjust blood flow in a region-specific manner. Cerebrovascular Reactivity (CVR) measures the ability of vessels to react to vasoactive challenges. In this work, we investigated the role of CVR as a possible biomarker in small vessel disease related vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), as part of the NINDS-funded MarkVCID study.

Background: Growing evidence shows neurovascular dysfunction occurs early in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and may be a useful early marker of pathology. Blood-brain barrier water exchange rate (BBB kw) is a novel measure of fluid transport through the neurovascular unit. Lower BBB kw has been associated with vascular risk factors, but its relationship with age, vascular brain health and biomarkers of AD remains equivocal.
