Intracranial arteriosclerosis is not associated with cerebral amyloid deposition [PDF]
BACKGROUND Intracranial arteriosclerosis and cerebral amyloid beta (Aβ) are both involved in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia, but the direct link between these two pathologies remains elusive.

Prevalence, volume, and clinical correlates of intracranial arteriosclerosis among patients with cognitive complaints: a clinic‐based study [PDF]
Abstract Background Intracranial arteriosclerosis increases the risk of dementia in the general population, but no published studies have determined its clinical value for the diagnosis of vascular cognitive impairment in a memory clinic setting. Method We included 317 patients (mean age: 69.9 years, 44% female) who attended the Erasmus MC Alzheimer ...

Intracranial arterial calcification and cerebrovascular function in the general aging population – A 7T MRI Study [PDF]
Background: Intracranial arteriosclerosis may impair downstream cerebrovascular function, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Using 7T MRI, we investigate the association between intracranial arteriosclerosis and cerebrovascular function in the

Evaluation of an in vivo biomarker of arteriolosclerosis (ARTS) and its associations with cognition and multimodal ATN(V) biomarkers in a cardiometabolic-risk enriched community cohort. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION We evaluated associations between an in vivo (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) marker of arteriolosclerosis (ARTS) and multimodal neuroimaging and plasma ATN(V) biomarkers. METHODS Among 238 participants with both amyloid and tau positron emission tomography (PET) scans within 1 year of MRI, we examined multivariable adjusted ...

A Novel and Simple Score to Predict Embolic or Atherosclerotic Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Before Mechanical Thrombectomy: AHOC Score. [PDF]
This study developed and validated the novel AHOC score, a simple pre‐thrombectomy tool for predicting stroke etiology (embolism vs. intracranial atherosclerosis) in acute middle cerebral artery occlusion. This score integrates four key clinical/imaging variables—atrial fibrillation, hyperdense artery sign, stenosis/occlusion in other arteries, and ...

Ventriculomegaly without elevated intracranial pressure? Normal pressure hydrocephalus as a disorder of the cerebral windkessel [PDF]
ObjectiveNormal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by ventriculomegaly without elevations in intracranial pressure (ICP). One way of viewing hydrocephalus is as a disorder of the cerebral windkessel.

Impact of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors on intracranial atherosclerotic plaque characteristics and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction: a real-world observational study [PDF]
Background and purpose The combination of PCSK9 inhibitors and moderate statin therapy effectively stabilizes intracranial atherosclerotic plaques in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS).

Venous compression causes chronic cerebral ischaemia in normal pressure hydrocephalus patients [PDF]
Background Cerebral autoregulation is a robust regulatory mechanism that stabilizes cerebral blood flow in response to reduced blood pressure, thereby preventing cerebral ischaemia.

Review of theories into the pathogenesis of normal pressure hydrocephalus [PDF]
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) represents a unique form of hydrocephalus characterised by the paradox of ventriculomegaly without significant elevations in intracranial pressure, with the clinical triad of gait instability, cognitive impairment, and
