Vascular endothelial‐cadherin as a marker of endothelial injury in preclinical Alzheimer disease
Abstract Objective Endothelial dysfunction is an early and prevalent pathology in Alzheimer disease (AD). We here investigate the value of vascular endothelial‐cadherin (VEC) as a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) marker of endothelial injury in preclinical AD.

Using the Built-in iPhone Body Tracking System for Neurological Tests: The Example of Assessing Arm Weakness in Stroke Patients. A Preliminary Evaluation of Accuracy and Performance [PDF]
Timely treatment of stroke is critical to minimize brain damage. Therefore, efforts are being made to educate the public on detecting stroke symptoms, e.g., face, arms, and speech test (FAST). In this position paper, we propose to perform the arm weakness test using the integrated video tracking from an iPhone - some general tests to assess the ...

Evaluation of least significant changes of pulse contour analysis-derived parameters
Background Many maneuvers assessing fluid responsiveness (minifluid challenge, lung recruitment maneuver, end-expiratory occlusion test, passive leg raising) are considered as positive when small variations in cardiac index, stroke volume index, stroke ...

Brain volume: An important determinant of functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke [PDF]
Objective: To determine whether brain volume is associated with functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data of the multi-site, international hospital-based MRI-GENetics Interface Exploration (MRI-GENIE) study (July 1, 2014- March 16, 2019) with clinical brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI ...

Combining unsupervised and supervised learning for predicting the final stroke lesion [PDF]
Predicting the final ischaemic stroke lesion provides crucial information regarding the volume of salvageable hypoperfused tissue, which helps physicians in the difficult decision-making process of treatment planning and intervention. Treatment selection is influenced by clinical diagnosis, which requires delineating the stroke lesion, as well as ...
