Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Is Associated With Higher R2 Relaxation Rate: An MRI and Pathology Study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) involves β‐amyloid deposition in the walls of cortical and leptomeningeal small vessels. Transverse relaxation rate (R2) is a major source of contrast in MRI. This study tested the hypothesis that CAA is associated with R2, extracted the spatial pattern of CAA‐related R2 abnormalities, and evaluated ...

Immunosuppressive Drugs in Early Systemic Sclerosis and Prevention of Damage Accrual

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Organ damage in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in individual organs such as the lungs may be prevented by receiving immunosuppressive drugs (ISs). A new measure of global organ damage, the Scleroderma Clinical Trials Consortium Damage Index (SCTC‐DI), has allowed us to investigate whether receiving ISs may reduce global organ damage ...
