C-Reactive Protein and Cognition Are Unrelated to Leukoaraiosis [PDF]

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Elevated serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) have been associated with leukoaraiosis in elderly brain. However, several studies indicate that leukoaraiosis is associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment. It is unknown how the effect of

Effect of leukoaraiosis on collateral circulation in acute ischemic stroke treated with endovascular therapy: a meta-analysis

BMC Neurology, 2023
Background and objective The recruitment of collateral circulation correlates with a balance of the microvasculature. Uncertainty remains to be made about the association of leukoaraiosis with leptomeningeal collaterals.

DDAH2 (-449 G/C) G allele is positively associated with leukoaraiosis in northeastern China: a double-blind, intergroup comparison, case-control study

Neural Regeneration Research, 2021
Cerebrovascular endothelial dysfunction is involved in the progression of leukoaraiosis. Asymmetric dimethylarginine is a competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide, which is highly expressed in patients with leukoaraiosis.

Leukoaraiosis and Gray Matter Volume Alteration in Older Adults: The PROOF Study

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Background and Purpose: Leukoaraiosis, also called white matter hyperintensities (WMH), is frequently encountered in the brain of older adults. During aging, gray matter structure is also highly affected.

Clinical characterization of symptomatic microangiopathic brain lesions

Frontiers in Neurology, 2011
Background: Microangiopathic brain lesions can be separated in diffuse lesions - leukoaraiosis - and focal lesions - lacunes. Leukoaraiosis and lacunes are caused by common cerebrovascular risk factors, but whether they represent a common entity is not ...
