Converging pathogenic mechanisms in vascular and neurodegenerative dementia.
Dementia is a common neurological syndrome with a major impact on the health and quality of life of the elderly. Although the causes of dementia are numerous, Alzheimer dementia (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) are responsible for most cases.1 Recent basic and clinical investigations have provided evidence that AD and VaD, traditionally considered distinct clinical and pathophysiological entiti...
متن کاملP152: Neurotoxicants and Mechanisms Neurodegenerative in Acrylamide
Many chemicals with broad industrial, pharmaceutical and agricultural application produce a neurotoxic syndrome in humans and experimental animals involving weight loss, skeletal muscle weakness and ataxia. Neurotoxicity is defined as a structural change or a functional alteration of the nervous system resulting from exposure to a chemical, biological or physical agent. Neurotoxicity including ...
متن کاملPathogenetic mechanisms in vascular dementia.
Vascular dementia accounts for approximately 20% of all cases of dementia and for about 50% in subjects over 80 years. Thromboembolism with multiple cerebral infarcts was considered to be almost the only pathogenetic pathway of vascular dementia, with multi-infarct dementia as its clinical manifestation. However, there is a great heterogeneity of vascular dementia syndromes and pathological sub...
متن کاملPathogenic mechanisms of neuronal damage in the AIDS dementia complex.
It has become clear that infection with HIV1 is capable of causing a progressive syndrome of neurological disease that is not strictly dependent upon the state of immunosuppression in the infected individual.' Although the central nervous system (CNS) is often the target of opportunistic infections in the later stages of AIDS related complex (ARC) or in AIDS itself, the AIDS dementia complex (A...
متن کاملVascular Aging and Diseases: Molecular Mechanisms and Influences
Vascular aging plays an important role in the mortality of the elderly, but vascular aging can be dependent on other factors such as diseases. Various diseases such as Alzheimer, diabetes, thalassemia, and other diseases affect the mechanisms of vascular aging. It will harm the recovery process of these patients. There are methods for measuring vascular aging such as instrumental measurements a...
