Multiplex analyte assays to characterize different dementias: brain inflammatory cytokines in poststroke and other dementias
Both the inflammatory potential and cognitive function decline during aging. The association between the repertoire of inflammatory biomarkers and cognitive decline is unclear. Inflammatory cytokines have been reported to be increased, decreased, or unchanged in the cerebrospinal fluid and sera of subjects with dementia. We assessed 112 postmortem brains from subjects diagnosed with poststroke ...
متن کاملMyocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy: an inflammatory link.
Myocarditis is a complex disease because multiple pathogenetic mechanisms play a role. While these mechanisms appear to act in a chronological cascade, they undoubtedly overlap in some cases, rendering diagnosis and treatment difficult. Ultimately, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) may result. A multitude of still-circumstantial evidence points to a major role of viral myocarditis in the etiology of...
متن کاملVascular and other dementias
The non-Alzheimer dementias are a heterogeneous group of disorders, accounting for approximately a third of all dementias. Many dementias have familial forms and molecular techniques have identified the gene mutations responsible for Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, familial Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease and a form of vascular dementia. These genetic defects lie at the start of pathologic...
متن کاملGenetics of the dementias.
While the majority of dementias are sporadic, many diseases causing dementia can also occur on a familial basis. Some of these show an autosomal or sex linked inheritance. In others, certain genes are not directly causative, but are major risk factors. Some dementias may be definitively diagnosed in vivo or prenatally using genetic testing. The discovery of causative genes has also led to the d...
متن کاملThe dementias of schizophrenia
Cases of "adolescent insanity" were known to Kraepelin's forerunners and lay at the core of his concept of dementia præcox. In the post-neuroleptic era it became clear that dementia may also occur in schizophrenia as a fully reversible state depending on psychopathological status. In the present review we discuss the validity of applying the concept of dementia to schizophrenia. We concur with ...
