Cerebral perfusion correlates with amyloid deposition in patients with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease.

J Prev Alzheimers Dis

Background: Changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) may contribute to the initial stages of the pathophysiological process in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Hypoperfusion has been observed in several brain regions in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, the clinical significance of CBF changes in the early stages of AD is currently unclear.

Background: We aimed to assess impairments on health-related quality of life, and mental health resulting from Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) with monocular visual field loss and posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS) with full or partial hemianopia using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Methods: In a prospective study, consecutive patients with acute RAO on fundoscopy and PCIS on imaging were recruited during their surveillance on a stroke unit over a period of 15 months. Baseline characteristics were determined from medical records and interviews.

Background: Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) is the most dreaded complication after reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to estimate and compare risks of sICH after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) depending on the location of the large vessel occlusion, concomitant use of intravenous thrombolysis, timing of treatment, and core size.

Methods: Randomized controlled trials were included, following a comprehensive search of different databases from inception to 1 March 2024.

Analysis of choroidal markers of activity in pachychoroid disease spectrum.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol

January 2025

Londrina State University, Avenida Robert Koch, 60, Londrina, CEP 86038-440, Paraná, Brazil.

Purpose: To detect choroidal markers of disease activity in eyes with chronic active unilateral pachychoroid disease spectrum (PDS) compared to the non-active contralateral eyes, based on multimodal imaging and particularly indocyanine green angiography (ICGA).

Methods: An observational retrospective case-control study. The study evaluated individuals diagnosed with chronic active unilateral PDS (group 1) by comparing the eyes with the non-active fellow eyes (group 2).

Background: Anterior circulation stroke (ACS) differs from posterior circulation stroke (PCS) in several aspects. We hypothesize that the risk of early neurologic deterioration (END) and its responses to clopidogrel plus aspirin versus aspirin alone may be different between stroke territories.

Methods And Results: This was a prespecified post hoc analysis of ATAMIS (Antiplatelet Therapy in Acute Mild to Moderate Ischemic Stroke) trial and included patients with definite infarct location who were classified into ACS and PCS according to stroke territory.
