To test the hypotheses that peak skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD), a measure of cerebral white matter microstructural disruption, is 1) increased in patients with amyloid angiopathy (CAA) compared to normal control (NC), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and Alzheimer's disease (AD); 2) associated neuropsychological performance among CAA patients; 3) more quickly over one year than AD, MCI, NC. Ninety-two participants provided medical history, completed assessment, had magnetic resonance...
<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> Reduced cerebrovascular reactivity is proposed to be a feature of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) but has not been measured directly. Employing global vasodilatory stimulus (hypercapnia), this study assessed the relationships between MRI markers CAA cognitive function. <h3>Methods</h3> In cross-sectional study, individuals with probable CAA, mild impairment, or dementia due Alzheimer disease healthy controls underwent neuropsychological testing an that...
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) contributes to brain neurodegeneration and cognitive decline, but the relationship between these two processes is incompletely understood.The purpose of this study examine cortical thickness its association with cognition neurodegenerative biomarkers in CAA.Data were collected from Functional Assessment Vascular Reactivity Calgary Normative Study. In total, 48 participants probable CAA, 72 cognitively normal healthy controls, 24 mild dementia due AD...
The objective is to determine if suspected concussions in elite football are medically assessed according the International Conferences on Concussion Sport consensus statement recommendations.Men's Union of European Football Association (UEFA) Championship.All professional players UEFA 2016 Championship Tournament.Observational study.Potential concussive events (PCEs) were defined as direct head collision incidents resulting athlete being unable immediately resume play following impact. PCEs...
Although the King-Devick (K-D) test has been used frequently in assessing sports related concussion early after injury, its characteristics over time injury and patients with prolonged persistent symptoms are unknown. The purpose of this paper was to: evaluate ability K-D Test to distinguish seen from those persisting more than 3 months compared controls, assess changes times concussion, determine relationship Stroop Color Word scores. We performed cross-sectional comparisons recent...
ObjectiveThe emergence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) as a novel coronavirus resulted in global pandemic that necessitated the implementation social distancing measures. These public health measures may have affected provision care for patients with epilepsy. Social isolation also adversely well-being and quality life due to informal formal support networks becoming less accessible. The purpose this qualitative study was examine lived experiences epilepsy see how their healthcare has been by...
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is associated with white matter damage and neurodegeneration. Gait impaired in CAA; however, the neural basis of this impairment unclear.
The emergence of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) led to distancing measures which acutely affected healthcare infrastructure, leading limited in-person clinical visits and an increased number virtual appointments. This study aimed examine the effects this had on adults with hydrocephalus by describing lived experiences a cohort patients at outpatient clinic. Between early May July 2020, remote structured interviews were conducted participants. Interviews in-depth open-ended, allowing participants...
