Variation in complement protein C1q is not a major contributor to cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease
Traditional dogma regarding the brain as an immune exempt organ has changed in recent years. New research has highlighted the role of the classical complement cascade in both synaptic elimination and function, driven largely by the role of the pathway initiating protein C1q. Given the links between C1q and cognitive function we assessed the genetic variability of the C1q encoding genes: C1QA, C...
متن کاملVascular Disease Is a Significant Contributor To This Patient’s Cognitive Impairment
The Case A 75-year-old woman is evaluated for difficulties with memory and daily function. Over the past 2 years, she has had progressively worsening short-term memory and difficulties paying bills accurately or cooking complex meals. Her medical history is positive for hypertension and coronary artery disease with no recent cardiac symptoms and no history of transient ischemic attack or stroke...
متن کاملLong-term differences in language and cognitive function after childhood exposure to anesthesia.
BACKGROUND Over the past decade, the safety of anesthetic agents in children has been questioned after the discovery that immature animals exposed to anesthesia display apoptotic neurodegeneration and long-term cognitive deficiencies. We examined the association between exposure to anesthesia in children under age 3 and outcomes in language, cognitive function, motor skills, and behavior at age...
متن کاملExposure to general anesthesia and the risk of dementia
Exposure to anesthesia and surgery has been hypothesized to increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). While the exact pathogenesis of AD remains unknown, it potentially involves specific proteins (eg, amyloid beta and tau) and neuroinflammation. A growing body of preclinical evidence also suggests that anesthetic agents interact with the components that mediate AD neuropathology...
متن کاملTau phosphorylation and sevoflurane anesthesia: an association to postoperative cognitive impairment.
BACKGROUND There is a growing interest in the involvement of anesthetic agents in the etiology of postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Recent animal studies suggest that acute anesthesia induces transient hyperphosphorylation of tau, an effect essentially ascribed to hypothermia. The main aim of the present study was to investigate effects, in normothermic conditions, of acute or repeated expos...
