dementia/edema

Ultrastructural changes of blood-brain barrier elements were studied in the cortex of cerebral superior frontal and medial temporal gyri in atherosclerotic dementia. Destructive changes in endotheliocytes, pericytes, basement membrane and increase in number, swelling and edema of astrocyte peduncles

Recently, the importance of prevention and care of lymphedema patients has been recognized. To improve edema reduction and skin condition, continued care is necessary. However, everyday care requires time and effort, and patients may neglect the required routine. Therefore, it is necessary for

In this report, we present the cases of two 63-year-old women who developed high altitude cerebral edema complicated by the occurrence of permanent neuropsychiatric sequelae. They shared a similar clinical course, in that both developed disturbance of consciousness shortly after their arrival at

Purpose: To evaluate cataract surgery complexity and complications among US Medicare beneficiaries with and without dementia. Design: Retrospective claims-based cohort study

Young and aged rats were subjected to cerebrovascular insufficiency (CVI) for 3 and 9 weeks. At the end of each time period, local cerebral blood flow (lCBF), spatial memory function, 31P- and 1H-NMR spectroscopy and imaging of the brains were evaluated in vivo. Morphometric counts of CA1

OBJECTIVE To describe a case of type 1 diabetes mellitus with recurrent macular edema and stroke in association with potent endothelial cell inhibitory autoantibodies. METHODS The clinical, radiologic, and biochemical data from the study patient are presented, as is the bioactivity in endothelial

Breviscapine, a traditional Chinese medicine, is extensively used in clinic to treat cardiovascular diseases and cerebrovascular injury. In this study, we demonstrated the effects of breviscapine on vascular dementia (VD) rats, which were mimicked by permanent occlusion of bilateral common carotid

The patient was a 68-year-old man with a 1-year history of delusions related to well-formed and detailed visual hallucinations. Bromperidol 12 mg was prescribed to treat his symptoms. After a diagnosis of dementia of Alzheimer's type was suspected, the patient received donepezil hydrochloride 5 mg.

Analysis of the pathology of multi-infarct dementia is best carried out using a two-axis approach. The first axis describes the tissue damage, classified as macroinfarcts, cortical microinfarcts, basal ganglionic lacunes, white matter lacunes, dilated perivascular spaces, diffuse white matter

Our studies of the brain microvascular system have focused on some aspects not commonly studied by other research groups because we use some techniques not often used by others. Our observations tend to add new details to the pathological picture rather than contradict the mainstream findings. We

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of early intervention using extract of Huannao Yicong Decoction (, HYD) on the pathological picture of hippocampus, neurocyte apoptosis, and associated regulatory genes in β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) transgenic mice model of dementia. METHODS Sixty APP695(V7171)

BACKGROUND Cerebral vasogenic edema (VE) has been reported to occur during antiamyloid immunotherapy. VE may be associated with central nervous system pathology with blood-brain barrier disruptions; however, less is known about the prevalence of naturally occurring VE in patients with Alzheimer's

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to clarify the signs and symptoms of impending death in end-of-life senile dementia from the point of view of formal caregivers in rural areas. Patient/Materials and Methods: We used qualitative data based on retrospective analyses. The data was gathered

Vascular dementia (VaD) is the common cognitive disorder derived mainly from lacunar stroke. The neurovascular coupling (NVC) dysfunction involves in its pathogenesis. VaD lacks suitable animal models for developing preventive therapies. This study aimed to confirm a model for preventing VaD via

There are few reports of pituitary adenomas (PA) mimicking dementia. Delay in disease diagnosis and treatment may result in poor clinical outcome. We experienced a rare case where endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (eTSS) effectively treated a gonadotroph adenoma mimicking dementia and report on
