BACKGROUND Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) cause significant patient and caregiver morbidity in vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Objectives. To study and compare the occurrence and severity of BPSD between multi-infarct dementia (MID), subcortical ischaemic vascular disease (SIVD), and strategic infarct subtypes of poststroke VCI and to evaluate the relationship of...

There is limited evidence about the progression of cognitive performance during the post-stroke stage. Objective To assess the evolution of cognitive performance in stroke patients without vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), patients with vascular mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and patients with vascular dementia (VD). Methods A prospective cohort of stroke outpatients from two secondary...

A 60-year-old man with a 1-year history of highly symptomatic drug-resistant paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) was admitted for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). In 1984 the patient had hemorrhagic stroke of the left hemisphere with right-sided hemiparesis that was complicated with pulmonary embolism. Therefore the patient was treated with surgical implantation of a prototype filter to the vena...

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence velamentous cord insertion (VCI) and actual association between pathologically confirmed VCI perinatal outcomes in twins based on chorionicity. Methods: All twin pregnancies that received prenatal care at a specialty clinic for multiple pregnancies, from less than 12 weeks gestation until delivery single institution 2015 2018 ...

Until recently, the study of cognitive impairment as a manifestation of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) has been hampered by the lack of common standards for assessment. The term vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) encompasses all levels of cognitive decline associated with CVD from mild deficits in one or more cognitive domains to crude dementia syndrome. VCI incorporates the complex interaction...

Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) refers to different degrees of cognitive dysfunction syndrome caused by all kinds of cerebral vascular disease and vascular factors. Before in the development of vascular dementia (VaD), early diagnosis and intervention can prevent and delay the progress of VCI, even reverse cognitive impairment. In this review, we summarized the research progress of vascular...

There is evidence for a beneficial effect of aerobic exercise on cognition, but underlying mechanisms are unclear. In this study, we test the hypothesis that aerobic exercise increases cerebral blood flow (CBF) in patients with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). This study is a multicenter single-blind randomized controlled trial among 80 patients with VCI. Most important inclusion criteria a...

Background Staging vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) might be useful for sample selection in clinical trials and for guiding clinical decision-making. Clinical dementia rating (CDR) has been applied for staging cognitive impairments of different etiologies, but it may underestimate severity of non-Alzheimer's disease cognitive deficits. Methods Out of a total of 147 elderly subjects, 23 (me...

This paper is a continuation of a series of publications dealing with the protection of metals by volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs). It presents a review on the propagation of VCI vapors, VCI distribution in the volume being protected, and specifics of vapor-phase protection of isolated systems and systems interacting with the environment in various ways. The review is supplemented by the au...
