White matter hyperintensities on brain magnetic resonance in systemic sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the brain status of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). METHODS Fourteen female patients with SSc aged 24-74, with a disease duration of 1-12 years and without other relevant systemic diseases, were enrolled. All patients and an age matched female control group (CG) of 14 clinically normal subjects, underwent brain magnetic resonance examination at 1.5 T; spin echo p...
متن کاملGenetic Determinants of White Matter Hyperintensities on Brain Scans
Background and Purpose—White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are highly heritable and associated with small artery ischemic stroke, so they may be a useful trait for studying the genetics of small vessel disease. Many studies have attempted to find associations between polymorphisms in various candidate genes and WMH. We aimed to evaluate the evidence for these associations by performing a system...
متن کاملDissociable effects of Alzheimer disease and white matter hyperintensities on brain metabolism.
IMPORTANCE Cerebrovascular disease and Alzheimer disease (AD) frequently co-occur and seem to act through different pathways in producing dementia. OBJECTIVE To examine cerebrovascular disease and AD markers in relation to brain glucose metabolism in patients with mild cognitive impairment. DESIGN AND SETTING Cohort study among the Alzheimer Disease Neuroimaging Initiative clinical sites in...
متن کاملStructural neuroimaging in Alzheimer's disease: do white matter hyperintensities matter?
The targeted brain dysfunction that accompanies aging can have a devastating effect on cognitive and intellectual abilities. A significant proportion of older adults experience precipitous cognitive decline that negatively impacts functional activities. Such individuals meet clinical diagnostic criteria for dementia, which is commonly attributed to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Structural neuroimag...
متن کاملHypertension, white matter hyperintensities, and concurrent impairments in mobility, cognition, and mood: the Cardiovascular Health Study.
BACKGROUND Our objective was to investigate the association between hypertension and concurrent impairments in mobility, cognition, and mood; the role of brain white matter hyperintensities in mediating this association; and the impact of these impairments on disability and mortality in elderly hypertensive individuals. METHODS AND RESULTS -Blood pressure, gait speed, digit symbol substitutio...
