Binswanger disease may benefit from omental arteries

چکیده
Otto Binswanger lectured for the first time regarding the disease, eventually named after him, at the annual meeting of the German Lunatic‐Physicians in Dresden, Germany in 1894.[12] He claimed that he had followed eight cases for 11 years, and that there was “a strong atheromatosis of brain arteries,” which he explained lead to white matter atrophy as a result of chronic diffuse nutritional disturbance. Because of the increasing use today of improved magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, there is a greater opportunity to observe abnormal arteries in the brain that may lead to an increase in the diagnosis of Binswanger disease that previously would have been classified as AD.[11]

AdipoRon may be benefit for atherosclerosis prevention
Atherosclerosis has serious role in coronary arteries disease,so it is important to establish effective strategies for prevention or even treatment of atherosclerosis. Adiponectin, as one of the most abundant adipokines, has insulin sensitivity, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties. Disturbed adiponectin actions through its receptor, (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2) may be involved in atheros...

In 1894, Otto Binswanger [1] described a clinical form of dementia in the elderly characterized by subcortical white matter lesions, "enormously enlarged ventricles, " normal cerebral cortex, and "severe atheromatosis of the arteries of the brain" and concluded, "It is very likely that the subcortical loss of fibers is caused by the deficiency of the blood supply resulting from arteriosclerosis...
متن کاملA new concept to restore the failing enlarged ischemic heart. Preliminary report.
Certain failing enlarged ischemic hearts are difficult to treat by mammary implants, epicardiectomy, omental grafts. A new concept and operation has been experimentally tested, based upon the omental graft’s ability to form arteriolar communications with surrounding arteries within eight days. in animals, three coronary arteries were surrounded by ameroid constrictors. Three separate omental st...
متن کاملPotent P2Y6 receptor mediated contractions in human cerebral arteries
BACKGROUND Extracellular nucleotides play an important role in the regulation of vascular tone and may be involved in cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoidal haemorrhage. This study was designed to characterise the contractile P2 receptors in endothelium-denuded human cerebral and omental arteries. The isometric tension of isolated vessel segments was recorded in vitro. P2 receptor mRNA express...
متن کاملCerebral blood flow and oxygen metabolism in patients with vascular dementia of the Binswanger type.
We performed clinical and neuroradiologic studies, including positron emission tomography, in five patients with vascular dementia of the Binswanger type. The clinical features of these cases consisted of slowly progressive dementia, together with vascular risk factors such as hypertension and often a history of minor stroke, and characteristic white matter lesions on brain computed tomograms o...
