Whole brain radiation-induced vascular cognitive impairment: mechanisms and implications.
Mild cognitive impairment is a well-documented consequence of whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) that affects 40-50% of long-term brain tumor survivors. The exact mechanisms for the decline in cognitive function after WBRT remain elusive and no treatment or preventative measures are available for use in the clinic. Here, we review recent findings indicating how changes in the neurovascular un...
متن کاملFrailty and Vascular Cognitive Impairment: Mechanisms Behind the Link.
The relationship between frailty and cognitive impairment has been recognized for decades, but it was not until a few years ago that the interest in this relationship increased and is now being understood. Epidemiological evidence suggests that physical frailty may be linked to cognitive impairment since both conditions share pathophysiological mechanisms at the cellular and systemic levels. Ag...
متن کاملVascular cognitive impairment.
Dementia, a syndrome of declining higher cognitive functioning, found in approximately 10 per cent of adults 65 years and older, and 50 per cent of adults older than 90 years. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) accounts for 50 to 80 per cent of all dementing illnesses. Vascular dementia comprises 15 to 20 per cent of dementia and in some clinico-pathological series is the second commonest form of dementi...
متن کاملVascular Cognitive Impairment.
Cerebrovascular disease typically manifests with stroke, cognitive impairment, or both. Vascular cognitive impairment refers to all forms of cognitive disorder associated with cerebrovascular disease, regardless of the specific mechanisms involved. It encompasses the full range of cognitive deficits from mild cognitive impairment to dementia. In principle, any of the multiple causes of clinical...
متن کاملVascular Cognitive Impairment
The role of systemic vascular disease in the development and manifestation of dementing illnesses is becoming increasingly important. Both epidemiologic and histopathologic studies have emphasized the role of vascular risk factors not only in the development of cognitive impairment and dementia, but also in the cognitive dysfunction that may result in the presence of both vascular and neurodege...
