Cerebral Hemodynamics in Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Systematic Review.
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND The incidence of dementia is projected to rise over the coming decades, but with no sensitive diagnostic tests available. Vascular pathology precedes the deposition of amyloid and is an attractive early target. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review was to investigate the use of cerebral hemodynamics and oxygenation as a novel biomarker for mild cognitive impairment (MCI), focusing on transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). METHODS 2,698 articles were identified from Medline, Embase, PsychINFO, and Web of Science databases. 306 articles were screened and quality assessed independently by two reviewers; 26 met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses were performed for each marker with two or more studies and limited heterogeneity. RESULTS Eleven studies were TCD, 8 NIRS, 5 magnetic resonance imaging, and 2 positron/single photon emission tomography. Meta-analyses showed reduced tissue oxygenation index, cerebral blood flow and velocity, with higher pulsatility index, phase and cerebrovascular resistance in MCI compared to controls. The majority of studies found reduced CO2 reactivity in MCI, with mixed findings in neuroactivation studies. CONCLUSION Despite small sample sizes and heterogeneity, meta-analyses demonstrate clear abnormalities in cerebral hemodynamic and oxygenation parameters, even at an early stage of cognitive decline. Further work is required to investigate the use of cerebral hemodynamic and oxygenation parameters as a sensitive biomarker for dementia.

Cognitive Impairment in Ischaemic Lacunar Stroke
Ischaemic cerebral small-vessel disease (SVD) can be visualised on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans as lacunar infarcts, white matter hyperintensities and cerebral microbleeds, and has been recognised as the most frequent cause of cognitive impairment of vascular origin. Lacunar infarction is the most common manifestation of SVD and accounts for approximately 25 % of all brain infar...

The association between diabetes and cognitive impairment is controversial. This systematic review examines the relationship of Cognitive Impairment in people with diabetes mellitus. The incidence of “Cognitive Impairment” was higher in individuals with diabetes than in those without diabetes in nine of ten studies reporting this aggregate outcome. These findings showed an associated between ty...

INTRODUCTION Although mild cognitive impairment (MCI) diagnosis is mainly based on cognitive assessment, reliable estimates of structural changes in specific brain regions, that could be contrasted against normal brain aging and inform diagnosis, are lacking. This study aimed to systematically review the literature reporting on MCI-related brain changes. METHODS The MEDLINE database was searc...
متن کاملCognitive impairment after lacunar stroke: systematic review and meta-analysis of incidence, prevalence and comparison with other stroke subtypes
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment and dementia are common after stroke. It is unclear if risk differs between ischaemic stroke subtypes. Lacunar strokes might be less likely to affect cognition than more severe, larger cortical strokes, except that lacunar strokes are associated with cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), which is the commonest vascular cause of dementia. METHODS We searched MEDL...
