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

Longitudinal study on low-dose aspirin versus placebo administration in silent brain infarcts: the silence study [PDF]
Background. We investigated low-dose aspirin (ASA) efficacy and safety in subjects with silent brain infarcts (SBIs) in preventing new cerebrovascular (CVD) events as well as cognitive impairment. Methods.

The Clinical Utility of Leukoaraiosis as a Prognostic Indicator in Ischemic Stroke Patients
Stroke constitutes a major cause of functional disability with increasing prevalence among adult individuals. Thus, it is of great importance for both clinicians and stroke survivors to be provided with a timely and accurate prognostication of functional

Clinical characteristics of unknown symptom onset stroke patients with and without diffusion-weighted imaging and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery mismatch [PDF]
Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) mismatch was suggested to identify stroke patients with unknown time of symptom onset likely to be within the time window for thrombolysis. Aims: We aimed

Clinical characterization of symptomatic microangiopathic brain lesions
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 ...

Confluent Thalamic Hyperintensities in CADASIL [PDF]
Background: CADASIL is responsible for diffuse hyperintensities in the white matter on FLAIR images. These lesions are often associated with focal lesions in the basal ganglia such as lacunar infarctions.

C-Reactive Protein and Cognition Are Unrelated to Leukoaraiosis
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
