Venous dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases
Quantitative measurement of geometrical and physiological properties of blood vessels in the retina may indicate early stages of brain and systemic diseases in an efficient and cost-effective way. Retinal vasculature is brain vasculature, and can be imaged easily at high resolution with optical fundus or OCT cameras. Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, as in diabetes, leads to marked vascular...
متن کاملMitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders.
There is compelling evidence for the direct involvement of mitochondria in certain neurodegenerative disorders, such as Morbus Parkinson, FRDA (Friedreich's ataxia), ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), and temporal lobe epilepsy with Ammon's horn sclerosis. This evidence includes the direct genetic evidence of pathogenic mutations in mitochondrial proteins in inherited Parkinsonism {such as PA...
متن کاملNeurodegenerative Diseases and Olfactory Dysfunction
The olfactory sensory network is a unique brain system. Among human sensory systems, only olfaction has a direct connection to the brain and no thalamic relay. In terms of tissue and cellular repair, the olfactory system is unusual, along with the hippocampal dentate gyrus, as an example of central nervous tissue in which neurogenesis persists. Additionally, olfaction has been shown to have an ...
متن کاملMitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases.
Neurodegenerative diseases are a large group of disabling disorders of the nervous system, characterized by the relative selective death of neuronal subtypes. In most cases, there is overwhelming evidence of impaired mitochondrial function as a causative factor in these diseases. More recently, evidence has emerged for impaired mitochondrial dynamics (shape, size, fission-fusion, distribution, ...
متن کاملOlfactory Dysfunction in Neurodegenerative Diseases
INTRODUCTION Olfactory impairment is a common occurrence in aging and may be an early signal of neurodegenerative diseases. Olfactory loss caused by aging and diseases affects both quality of life and personal safety. Aging, as well as viral infections, neurodegenerative diseases, head injuries, chronic sinusitis infections and nasal obstructions are the most common causes of olfactory disorder...
