Pathogenetic mechanisms in vascular dementia.
Vascular dementia accounts for approximately 20% of all cases of dementia and for about 50% in subjects over 80 years. Thromboembolism with multiple cerebral infarcts was considered to be almost the only pathogenetic pathway of vascular dementia, with multi-infarct dementia as its clinical manifestation. However, there is a great heterogeneity of vascular dementia syndromes and pathological sub...
متن کاملRheumatoid arthritis and vascular dementia: do they have common pathogenetic mechanisms
Central nervous system involvement is uncommon in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and the incidence of cerebrovascullitis (CV) ranges from 1% to 8%. It seems to affect only patients with seropositive RA (it shows a close relationship with RF titres), and may appear as part of a systemic manifestation of vasculitis or (less frequently) only involve the brain. It is mainly found in women...
متن کاملPathogenetic mechanisms in APS
Antiphospholipid syndrome is diagnosed when arterial or venous thrombosis or recurrent miscarriages occur in a person in whom laboratory tests for antiphospholipid antibodies (anticardiolipin antibodies and/or lupus anticoagulant and/or anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I) are positive. Despite the strong association between antiphospholipid antibodies and thrombosis, their pathogenic role in the develo...
متن کاملPathogenetic mechanisms of atopic dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease which results from complex interactions between genetic and environmental mechanisms. An altered lipid composition of the stratum corneum is responsible for the xerotic aspect of the skin and determines a higher permeability to allergens and irritants. Keratinocytes of AD patients exhibit a propensity to an exaggerated production of cytok...
متن کاملConverging pathogenic mechanisms in vascular and neurodegenerative dementia.
Dementia is a common neurological syndrome with a major impact on the health and quality of life of the elderly. Although the causes of dementia are numerous, Alzheimer dementia (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) are responsible for most cases.1 Recent basic and clinical investigations have provided evidence that AD and VaD, traditionally considered distinct clinical and pathophysiological entiti...
