Morphological Brain Changes after Climbing to Extreme Altitudes--A Prospective Cohort Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Findings of cerebral cortical atrophy, white matter lesions and microhemorrhages have been reported in high-altitude climbers. The aim of this study was to evaluate structural cerebral changes in a large cohort of climbers after an ascent to extreme ...

Cerebral White Matter Hyperintensity as a Healthcare Quotient [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2019
To better understand the risk factors and optimal therapeutic strategies of cerebral white matter hyperintensity (WMH), we examined a large population of adults with and without various vascular risk factors (VRFs) or vascular risk conditions (VRCs), such as hypertension (HT), diabetes mellitus (DM), and dyslipidemia (DLP), including the comorbidities.

Coevolution of white matter hyperintensities and cognition in the elderly [PDF]

Neurology, 2012
To investigate the effects of baseline white matter hyperintensity (WMH) and rates of WMH extension and emergence on rate of change in cognition (episodic memory and executive function).A total of 150 individuals including cognitively normal elderly individuals and those with Alzheimer disease and mild cognitive impairment completed serial episodic ...

Periventricular White Matter Hyperintensities and Functional Decline [PDF]

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2017
Background/Objectives We previously showed that global brain white matter hyperintensity volume ( WMHV ) was associated with accelerated long‐term functional decline. The objective of the current study was to determine whether

Waxing and waning of white matter hyperintensities

Neurology, 2017
Small vessel disease (SVD) manifests in myriad ways, most prominently as white matter hyperintensities (WMH).1,2 By the age of 60 years, virtually every healthy individual has evidence of WMH,3 and those with ischemic stroke have even more extensive changes.4 Cerebral ischemic injury from occlusion or stenosis of deep penetrating arteries due to ...

Menopausal hot flashes and white matter hyperintensities [PDF]

Menopause, 2016
Hot flashes are classic symptoms of menopause. Emerging data link hot flashes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, yet whether hot flashes are related to brain health is poorly understood. We examined the relationship between hot flashes (measured via physiologic monitor and self-report) and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) among midlife women ...

Cardiometabolic state links neurovascular burden with brain structure and function: Evidence from EEG and MRI

NeuroImage
Aging affects brain structure and function alongside metabolic and vascular processes leading to energetic impairments. While local neurometabolic dysfunction in aging is well-documented, the influence of systemic cardiometabolic and vascular markers on ...

Semisupervised white matter hyperintensities segmentation on MRI

Human Brain Mapping, 2022
AbstractThis study proposed a semisupervised loss function named level‐set loss (LSLoss) for cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) segmentation on fluid‐attenuated inversion recovery images. The training procedure did not require manually labeled WMH masks.

Spinal Cord Infarction Versus Idiopathic Transverse Myelitis: Clinical, Radiological, and Functional Insights From a Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a rare but devastating myelopathy, characterized by a high disability rate and an unfavorable prognosis. It has often been underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed as idiopathic transverse myelitis (ITM). This study aimed to describe the clinical features, radiological biomarkers, treatments, and functional ...

Early life socioeconomic circumstance and late life brain hyperintensities--a population based cohort study.

PLoS ONE, 2014
ContextThere have been many reports confirming the association between lower childhood socioeconomic circumstance and cardiovascular disease but evidence for links with cerebrovascular disease is contradictory.
