Cognitive decline after sepsis
The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 2015The modern era of sepsis management is characterised by a growing number of patients who survive in the short term and are discharged from hospital. Increasing evidence suggests that these survivors exhibit long-term neurological sequelae, particularly substantial declines in cognitive function.

Nursing Older People, 2012
There is growing consensus that dementia has a long gestation period; it is known that neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques, the hallmarks of pathological change in dementia, are present in the brains of young adults. This study aimed to examine if decline in cognitive function can be detected earlier than previously thought.

JAMA, 2015
Stroke and cognitive impairment are common among older persons.1 It is estimated that the lifetime risk for stroke is approximately 1 in 5 for women and 1 in 6 for men,2 and almost one-third of persons with stroke, which typically may involve motor, sensory, or other deficits, may have a significant degree of cognitive impairment within several months ...

Due to the worldwide aging of populations, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias constitute a devastating experience for patients and families as well as a major social and economic burden for both health care systems and society. Multiple potentially modifiable cardiovascular and lifestyle risk factors have been associated with this disease ...

Hypertension, Neurodegeneration, and Cognitive Decline
HypertensionElevated blood pressure is a well-established risk factor for age-related cognitive decline. Long linked to cognitive impairment on vascular bases, increasing evidence suggests a potential association of hypertension with the neurodegenerative pathology underlying Alzheimer disease.

Lacunar infarct and cognitive decline
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2011Lacunar infarcts or lacunes result from occlusion of a single penetrating artery and account for approximately a quarter of cerebral infarctions. The short-term prognosis of symptomatic lacunar infarct is favorable - that is, low early mortality and a high proportion of symptom-free patients at hospital discharge - but the prognosis in the mid- and ...

Surgical menopause and cognitive decline
Climacteric, 2014Aging is the strongest risk factor for cognitive decline. The perimenopausal period puts women in a more vulnerable state in regard to certain functions such as memory. Also, the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS) pointed at some cognitive adverse effects of postmenopausal hormone therapy, but these results were not relevant for the peri ...
