White matter alterations in cognitively normal apoE ε2 carriers: insight into Alzheimer resistance?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The basis for decreased vulnerability to AD among apoE ε2 carriers is unknown. The purpose of this study was to use diffusion tensor imaging to detect possible differences in white matter integrity between cognitively normal elderly apoE ε2 carriers and apoE ε3/ε3 controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-nine cognitively normal elderly individuals (19 heterozygous carrier...
متن کاملReliability and reproducibility of perfusion MRI in cognitively normal subjects.
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming a popular method for measuring perfusion due to its ability of generating perfusion maps noninvasively. This allows for frequent repeat scanning, which is especially useful for follow-up studies. However, limited information is available regarding the reliability and reproducibility of ASL perfusion measurements. Here, th...
متن کامل"Will I get Alzheimer disease?" when cognitively normal patients ask to be tested for Alzheimer disease.
This article presents the case of a cognitively normal patient who is requesting a procedure (amyloid imaging) recently approved for the diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (AD) in patients with cognitive impairment. The predictive value of this test in unaffected people is not clearly established. Knowing the results of the test will have no effect on therapeutic options, although the patient may m...
متن کاملNeuropathologic findings in an aged albino gorilla.
Pallido-nigral spheroids associated with iron deposition have been observed in some aged clinically normal nonhuman primates. In humans, similar findings are observed in neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation diseases, which, in some cases, show associated mutations in pantothenate kinase 2 gene (PANK2). Here we present an aged gorilla, 40 years old, suffering during the last 2 years of...
متن کاملSurgery and brain atrophy in cognitively normal elderly subjects and subjects diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment.
BACKGROUND Structural magnetic resonance imaging is used to longitudinally monitor the progression of Alzheimer disease from its presymptomatic to symptomatic phases. Using magnetic resonance imaging data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, we tested the hypothesis that surgery would impact brain parameters associated with progression of dementia. METHODS Brain images from t...
