DTI-ALPS: An MR biomarker for motor dysfunction in patients with subacute ischemic stroke
PurposeBrain glymphatic dysfunction is involved in the pathologic process of acute ischemic stroke (IS). The relationship between brain glymphatic activity and dysfunction in subacute IS has not been fully elucidated.

Reduced DTI-ALPS in H-type hypertension: insights into perivascular space function
Recent studies suggest that glymphatic dysfunction plays a significant role in vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Both hypertension and hyperhomocysteinemia are independent risk factors for VCI, and their combination is referred to as H-type ...

Glymphatic System Assessment Using DTI-ALPS in Age-Dependent Neurodegenerative Diseases [PDF]
Introduction. Dysfunction of the glymphatic system glymphatic system of the brain is considered a pathogenetic factor in some age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), Parkinson's ...

Glymphatic System Dysfunction and its Associated Factors in Wilson's Disease: A DTI-ALPS Study. [PDF]
Glymphatic function, assessed by DTI‐ALPS index, was impaired in neurological Wilson's disease compared with hepatic phenotype and controls. Age, AST, and UWDRS‐I score independently predicted dysfunction, linking neurodegeneration, liver injury, and altered glymphatic activity. ABSTRACT Background Wilson's disease (WD) is a genetic disorder of copper (

Shared genetic architecture between DTI-ALPS traits and neurodegenerative diseases. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI‐ALPS) index is associated with neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), but its shared genetic basis with NDDs remains unclear. METHODS By integrating genome‐wide association datasets for three DTI‐ALPS traits and seven NDDs, we quantified polygenic overlap using MiXeR ...

DTI-ALPS as a Biomarker of Small Vessel Disease Progression and Amyloid-β in Normal Aging: A 3-Year Longitudinal Study. [PDF]
A higher DTI‐derived ALPS index relates cross‐sectionally to both quantitative and visual measures of SVD and is associated with short‐term amyloid‐β accumulation in cognitively normal older adults. Also, greater amyloid burden and choroid plexus volume are associated with a more rapid deterioration in global cognition and processing speed.

DTI-ALPS Primarily Reflects White Matter Diffusion Dispersion and Microstructural Heterogeneity in Neurodegeneration: Insights From Multi-Modal MRI. [PDF]
In a 100‐patient memory‐clinic cohort, DTI‐ALPS was evaluated along with diffusion and microstructural metrics. DTI‐ALPS correlated strongly with mode of anisotropy and orientation dispersion index, and moderately with T1/FLAIR ratio and diamagnetic susceptibility, indicating that DTI‐ALPS mainly reflects white‐matter diffusion complexity rather than ...

Polysomnographic findings and DTI‐ALPS in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Abstract Background Sleep disorders are common comorbid pathology in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is generally accepted that sleep disorders may be a risk factor for AD development due to increased Aβ deposition in the brain and may contribute to more rapid progression of ...
