Assessment of glymphatic function in narcolepsy using DTI-ALPS index [PDF]
Sleep is a modulator of glymphatic activity which is altered in various sleep disorders. Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), rapid onset of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, cataplexy, disturbed night sleep with fragmentation.

Changes in DTI-ALPS index and its associations with neuronal damage in Lewy body disease [PDF]
Dysfunction of the glymphatic system is thought to lead to build up of toxic proteins including β-amyloid and α-synuclein, and thus may be involved in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis Along the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS) index has been proposed as a marker of glymphatic function.To ...

DTI-ALPS index decreased in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus [PDF]
BackgroundsType 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has become a significant global public health issue, characterized by a rising prevalence and associated deficits across multiple organ systems. Our study aims to utilize the DTI-ALPS technique to assess the change of ALPS index in T2DM patients, and to explore whether such changes are correlated with ...

Assessment of the glymphatic dysfunction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis using the diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular spaces index: a pilot study [PDF]
BackgroundThe glymphatic system plays a critical role in clearing interstitial waste from the brain. Dysfunction of this system has been linked to various neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Altered perivascular-aligned diffusivity in postherpetic neuralgia assessed by the DTI-ALPS index
BackgroundThe glymphatic system has been proposed as a key pathway for interstitial fluid clearance in the brain, but its role in chronic neuropathic pain conditions such as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) remains unclear.
