  2. 1. Magnetic resonance imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease in an elderly population – association with cardiovascular disease and cognitive function

    Author : Ruta Nylander; Elna-Marie Larsson; Mona K. Beyer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Magnetic resonance imaging; cerebral perfusion; small vessel disease; cognitive function; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Abstract : Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is identifiable by clinical, neuroimaging, neuropathological and cognitive findings.The aim of this thesis was to assess SVD and cerebral perfusion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a 75-year-old population and compare the findings with scars of myocardial infarctions, cardiovascular risk markers and cognitive function.

  4. 2. Comorbidity and vascular risk factors  associated with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus : the INPH-CRasH Study

    Author : Hanna Israelsson Larsen; Jan Malm; Anders Eklund; Norman Relkin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hydrocephalus; normal pressure; vascular disease; vascular risk factors; elderly; depression; case control study; epidemiology; dementia; vascular dementia; small vessel disease; cerebrovascular disease; transient ischemic attack; Neurology; neurologi;

    Abstract : Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) is a dementia treatable by insertion of a cerebrospinal fluid shunt. It has been suggested that INPH has similar pathophysiological mechanisms as cerebrovascular disease, but the vascular risk factor (VRF) profile of INPH patients has not been assessed using a modern epidemiological approach.

  6. 4. CADASIL : a pure model for studying cerebral small vessel disease

    Author : Mahmod Panahi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarct and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is caused by a mutation on the NOTCH3 gene. The pathological driver behind this disease is the loss of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in small blood vessels and subsequent fibrotic thickening of the vessel, causing stenosis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Vascular dementia - classification and clinical correlates

    Abstract : During the period (1976-1995) a total of 175 consecutive patients (m 88/f 87) with neuropathologically verified vascular dementia (VaD) were examined. 22 patients with pure Alzheimer's Disease (AD) were also studied. All patients were diagnosed and followed at the Department of Psychogeriatrics (Lund University Hospital). READ MORE
