Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune epithelitis characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands and epithelia in multiple sites. One third of the patients present with peripheral nervous system involvement. We describe the case of a woman aged 62 affected by a peroneal nerve mononeuropathy with painful disturbances secondary to a prevalent involvement of small fibers as demonstrated by electrophysiological investigations and skin biopsy. Asymmetric peripheral nerve involvement is not uncommon in SS, though, to our knowledge, it has never been reported of a mononeuropathy involving primarily small fibers.

Background: Memory clinic patients typically present with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) to varying degrees. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the etiology of cognitive deficits for facilitating patient-centered treatment in memory clinics. Plasma biomarkers (ptau, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein [GFAP], Neurofilament light chain [NfL]) and fixel-based advanced diffusion MRI markers (fiber density, fiber-bundle cross-section) show potential towards disentangling AD- and SVD-related brain changes (Dewenter et al.

It is unclear if WMHs in different regions represent similar pathophysiology and etiology. Here, we developed a framework to estimate WMH pathophysiology in vivo, which allowed us to precisely characterize spatial patterns of WMH tissue alterations associated with four disorders.
