Among patients with proximal iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and an elevated Villalta score, anticoagulation therapy alone may not be a sufficient management strategy in select cases. In this article, we report a case of severe bilateral iliofemoral DVT that resisted the standard treatment for DVT, requiring catheter-directed thrombolysis and subsequent mechanical thrombectomy.

Background: Amnestic mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (aAD) exhibit degeneration of white matter (WM) tracts preceding overt cognitive decline. However, WM changes in non-amnestic AD (naAD) are understudied. We hypothesized patterns of WM degeneration would differ between aAD and naAD.

Background: Hemodynamic signals are the basis of functional brain imaging techniques, such as fMRI and NIRS, and are often used to infer changes in resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias. Increasing evidence suggests that disruption of neuronal circuits has been associated with the AD continuum and may precede changes in Ab and tau biomarkers, neurodegeneration, and cognitive impairment. To better understand the changes in brain RSFC through the AD spectrum, we use hemodynamic signals to detect disease onset, progression, and response to therapy in a mouse model of AD.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is often accompanied by neuroinflammation, which manifests prior to significant cognitive decline. Reactive astrocytosis is a hallmark of such inflammation, potentially serving as an early biomarker for AD pathology. Our study employs [18F]fluorodeprenyl-D2 ([18F]F-DED) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to in vivo quantify astrocytosis comparing AD with healthy controls and examines its assocciation with cognitive deterioration in AD.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a risk factor for earlier onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD)( Graves AB, et al., 1990), and the more severe the injury, the greater the risk of developing AD(Johnson VE, et al.,2010).

Background: The heterogeneity of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and lack of well-validated markers of co-pathologies present a substantial challenge for therapeutics. We previously found phenotypes defined by Tau (T) - Neurodegeneration (N) discordance linked to non-Alzheimer's pathologies (e.g.
