Sex Differences in the Association of Simultaneous Decline in Blood Pressure and Decline in Cognition during Aging

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Both high and declining blood pressure (BP) are associated with risk of cognitive decline in older adults, and women have higher rates of hypertension and faster cognitive decline in late‐life. In old age, the relationship between changes in BP and changes in cognition is complex, and although sex differences in cognitive function and decline

Diabetes and the Metabolic Syndrome as Drivers of Neurodegeneration: Convergent Mechanisms Linking Peripheral Neuropathy and Dementia

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
The metabolic syndrome, a state of progressive metabolic dysfunction, injures the peripheral and central nervous systems, promoting peripheral neuropathy (PN) and cognitive impairment (CI), respectively. We posit PN and CI are connected in the metabolic syndrome framework, built on the premise that neurons, whether in the peripheral or central nervous ...

Perivascular Spaces as Determinants of Amyloid, Tau, and Vascular Biomarker Progression

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐visible enlarged perivascular spaces (PVS) are markers of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) and aging, processes implicated in both neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular pathologies. However, longitudinal positron emission tomography (PET) studies examining PVS as a mechanism underlying Alzheimer's disease ...

Impact of blood pressure variability and cerebral small vessel disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesHeliyon
Importance: Abnormal blood pressure pattern is an independent risk factor for vascular events. Blood pressure variability can predict cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease outcomes and is closely associated with the risk of cognitive impairment ...

Blood Biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease and Patterns of Structural Brain Changes in the Community

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to investigate the associations between Alzheimer's disease (AD)‐related blood biomarkers and changes in brain volumes and cerebrovascular burden in community‐dwelling older adults. Methods We included 361 dementia‐free participants with a Mini‐Mental State Examination (MMSE) score ≥ 27 and without prior cerebrovascular events from a

Prevalence of white matter hyperintensities increases with age

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2018
White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) that arise with age and/or atherosclerosis constitute a heterogeneous disorder in the white matter of the brain. However, the relationship between age-related risk factors and the prevalence of WMHs is still obscure.

Retrospective Analysis of T2‐Hyperintense Lesions in Children With Neurofibromatosis Type 1

open access: yesAnnals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study is to determine whether a previously reported three‐tiered classification scheme for T2‐hyperintense brain lesions in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) was associated with distinct radiographic or clinical characteristics after 10 years of real‐world follow‐up data were obtained.

Connecting the dots: A narrative review of the relationship between heart failure and cognitive impairment

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1119-1131, April 2025.
Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...

Cerebrospinal Fluid Volume and Other Intracranial Volumes Are Associated with Fazekas Score in Adults: A Single Center Experience

open access: yesMedicina
Background and Objectives: The objective of this research is to make a comparative evaluation of the correlation between the volumetric examination of subcortical cerebral regions and white matter hyperintensities classified according to the Fazekas ...
