Background: Since subjective cognitive decline (SCD) was standardized in 2014, there have been few studies reporting the risk factors and neuropsychological assessment characteristics of SCD (plus) memory clinic. Objective: To characterize by comparing it with normal control (NC), amnesic mild impairment (aMCI), Alzheimer Disease (AD) regarding their demographics, lifestyle, family history dementia, multimorbidity assessments. Methods: A total 135 participants were recruited, including 23...

The rapidly increasing prevalence of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease has the potential to create a major worldwide healthcare crisis. Structural MRI studies in patients with mild are currently attracting considerable interest. It is extremely important study early structural metabolic changes, such as those hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, gray matter structures medial temporal lobe, allow detection disease. microstructural integrity white can be studied diffusion tensor imaging....

Whether insulin resistance (IR) predicts worse functional outcome in ischemic stroke is still a matter of debate. The aim the present study to determine association between IR and risk poor 173 Chinese nondiabetic patients with acute stroke. This prospective, population-based cohort study. Insulin sensitivity, expressed by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) sensitivity (HOMA index = (fasting × fasting glucose)/22.5). was defined HOMA-IR top quartile (Q4).

Background: Cerebrovascular disease is a common clinical illness. Many patients with cerebrovascular can be accompanied by cognitive impairment. The exosomal microRNA (miRNA)-223-3p related to vascular endothelial injury, synaptic function, inflammatory response, and other mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the levels of plasma miRNA-223-3p in cerebral small vessel (CSVD), order determine whether it could used as more accessible potential biomarker for early diagnosis treatment CSVD....

To the Editor: Accumulating evidence has shown that preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD) (i.e., asymptomatic amyloidosis) lasts for decades before onset cognitive symptoms, providing a large window early intervention. Amyloid pathology, earliest pathological change associated with AD, can be detected in vivo cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis or positron emission tomography (PET), and its presence is necessary diagnosis AD (pre-AD). However, both PET scans CSF analyses are...

Changes in white matter (WM) microstructure may relate to the pathophysiology of cognitive impairment. Whether WM differs two common pre-dementia subtypes, vascular mild impairment (VaMCI) and amnestic (aMCI), is largely unknown. This study included 28 VaMCI (12 men, age: 46 ~ 77 years) 34 aMCI patients (14 51 79 years). All underwent a battery neuropsychological tests structural diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning. was quantified using MRI parameters: fractional anisotropy...

Introduction Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and vascular (VaMCI) comprise the 2 main types of (MCI). The first condition generally progresses to Alzheimer's disease, whereas second is likely develop into dementia (VD). brain structure function patients with MCI differ from those normal elderly individuals. However, whether structures or functions between these subtypes has not been studied. This study designed analyse neuroimages in VaMCI aMCI using multimodality MRI (structural...
