White Matter Hyperintensities in Parkinson’s Disease: Do They Explain the Disparity between the Postural Instability Gait Difficulty and Tremor Dominant Subtypes? [PDF]
Background: Brain white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) commonly observed on brain imaging of older adults are associated with balance and gait impairment and have also been linked to cognitive deficits.

Dementia with leucoaraiosis and dural arteriovenous malformation: clinical and PET case study. [PDF]
A case of rapidly progressive dementia with diffuse leucoaraiosis on CT was attributable to a supratentorial dural arteriovenous malformation. Positron emission tomography (PET) showed low cerebral blood flow and high oxygen extraction ratio throughout the cerebral hemispheres indicating a state of chronic haemodynamic compromise which could predispose

Medir o cérebro, para quê? [PDF]
Várias são as “janelas” da Ressonância Magnética (RM) que hoje têm aplicação na clínica. Servem para fundamentar o diagnóstico (p.e., da encefalopatia microvascular do idoso), o prognóstico (p.e., do declínio cognitivo), a terapêutica (p.e., da ...

White Matter Hyperintensities: Initial Assessments [PDF]
The white matter hyperintensities (WMH, leucoaraiosis) represent the most common kind of ischemic vascular lesion of the white matter due to small vessel diseases, and occurs frequently in the elderly. Consequent to the neuroimaging identification arouse

Utilidad de las secuencias potenciadas en susceptibilidad paramagnética (SWI) para diferenciar crisis somestésicas de accidentes isquémicos transitorios en un paciente con angiopatía amiloide cerebral [PDF]
Background. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is characterized by the deposit of β-amyloid on the walls of small and medium-sized arteries of the cerebral cortex and leptomeninges causing cerebral bleeding.

Location of lacunar infarcts correlates with cognition in a sample of non-disabled subjects with age-related white-matter changes: the LADIS study [PDF]
Objectives: In cerebral small vessel disease, whitematter hyperintensities (WMH) and lacunes are both related to cognition. Still, their respective contribution in older people remains unclear.

What went wrong? The flawed concept of cerebrospinal venous insufficiency [PDF]
In 2006, Zamboni reintroduced the concept that chronic impaired venous outflow of the central nervous system is associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), coining the term of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency ('CCSVI'). The diagnosis of 'CCSVI' is

Myotonic Dystrophy‐1 Complicated by Factor‐V (Leiden) Mutation
Objectives. Presence of a factor‐V Leiden mutation in a patient with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) has been reported only once. Here we report the second DM1 patient carrying a factor‐V mutation who died from long‐term complications of this mutation. Case Report.
