Cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVDs) are among the most common age-related pathologies of the brain. Arteriolosclerosis and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are the most common CSVDs. In addition to causing stroke and dementia, CSVDs can have diverse covert radiological manifestations on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging including lacunes, T2-weighted white matter hyperintensities, increased density of visible perivascular spaces, microbleeds and cortical superficial siderosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that affects the veins and small blood vessels. Previous research suggests that individuals with MS have an increased risk of vascular events and higher mortality rates. However, the relationship between MS and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) remains uncertain.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension are risk factors for cerebral small vessel disease (SVD); however, few studies have characterised their relationships with MRI-visible perivascular spaces (PVS). MRI was used to quantify deep (d) and periventricular (p) white matter hyperintensities (WMH), lacunes, PVS in the white matter (wmPVS) or basal ganglia (bgPVS), and diffusion metrics in white matter. Patients with T2DM had greater wmPVS volume and there were greater wmPVS volumes in patients with T2DM and hypertension together.

Background Cerebral small vessel disease is associated with higher ratios of soluble-epoxide hydrolase derived linoleic acid diols (12,13-dihydroxyoctadecenoic acid [DiHOME] and 9,10-DiHOME) to their parent epoxides (12(13)-epoxyoctadecenoic acid [EpOME] and 9(10)-EpOME); however, the relationship has not yet been examined in stroke. Methods and Results Participants with mild to moderate small vessel stroke or large vessel stroke were selected based on clinical and imaging criteria. Metabolites were quantified by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Introduction: This study aimed to characterize the association of cognitive decline starting in midlife with brain pathology in late life in the absence of dementia.
Methods: Nondemented Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities participants with brain imaging, all cognitive factor scores (CFSs), and nonmissing covariates were included. CFSs were collected at three visits across 21 years (1990-2013) (short-term cognitive change [1990-1996], long-term cognitive change [1990-2013]), and brain magnetic resonance imaging and florbetapir positron emission tomography (PET) imaging were collected in 2011-13 (PET subset n = 327).
