Genetic aspects of cerebrovascular disease.
In the past conventional wisdom held that stroke and other forms of cardiovascular disease were due primarily to environmental factors and that genetic background played a relatively minor role in disease pathogenesis. However, recent discoveries in the fields of molecular and population genetics have suggested the need to reexamine the role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of vascular di...
متن کاملSurgical aspects of cerebrovascular disease.
VASCULAR lesions affecting the brain are important because of their frequency, their incidence in all age groups, their often profound and long-lasting clinical effects, and their social and economic repercussions on the community. Such lesions presented to a surgical department are usually highly selected, but for the purpose of this study one of us (W.F.C.K.) saw all, or practically all, case...
متن کاملGenetic aspects of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with a complex etiology and pathogenesis. Mutations in presenilin 1 gene (PSEN1), located on chromosome 14, more rarely in amyloid-beta protein precursor (APP) on chromosome 21, and presenilin 2 genes (PSEN2) on chromosome 1, underlie the pathogenesis of most cases of familial early onset of AD (EOAD). The genetics of late-onset AD (LOAD)...

http://dx.doi.org/10.1160/TH15-10-0774 Thromb Haemost 2015; 114: 883–884 The fact that there was a genetic (hereditary) component in the pathology of venous thrombosis was recognised early. Indeed, it is now 50 years ago that the first description of a plasma protein deficiency linked to a hereditary thrombotic diathesis was reported, antithrombin deficiency, coining the term thrombophilia to d...
متن کاملEyes and stroke: the visual aspects of cerebrovascular disease
A large portion of the central nervous system is dedicated to vision and therefore strokes have a high likelihood of involving vision in some way. Vision loss can be the most disabling residual effect after a cerebral infarction. Transient vision problems can likewise be a harbinger of stroke and prompt evaluation after recognition of visual symptoms can prevent future vascular injury. In this ...
