MRI in Chemotherapy induced Leukoencephalopathy: Report of Two Cases and Radiologist’s Perspective [PDF]
Leukoencephalopathy is a progressive white matter disease primarily caused due to myelin damage by a variety of factors. Chemotherapy for oncological treatment is an uncommon but important cause of potentially reversible leukoencephalopathy. In current

Occurrence, Risk Factors, and Prognosis of Acute Cerebral Microinfarcts in CADASIL
ABSTRACT Introduction Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common monogenic cerebral small vessel disease in adults. This study investigates the occurrence, risk factors, and prognosis of acute cerebral microinfarcts (ACMIs) in patients with CADASIL.

The Leukodystrophies HBSL and LBSL—Correlates and Distinctions
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) accurately charge tRNAs with their respective amino acids. As such, they are vital for the initiation of cytosolic and mitochondrial protein translation. These enzymes have become increasingly scrutinized in recent years

Reduced myelin contributes to cognitive impairment in patients with monogenic small vessel disease [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Myelin is pivotal for signal transfer and thus cognition. Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is primarily associated with white matter (WM) lesions and diffusion changes; however, myelin alterations and related cognitive impairments in cSVD remain unclear.
