Journal ArticleDOI

Type 2 diabetes and atrophy of medial temporal lobe structures on brain MRI

TL;DR: Type 2 diabetes is associated with hippocampal and amygdalar atrophy, regardless of vascular pathology, which could suggest that Type 2 diabetes directly influences the development of Alzheimer neuropathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

C-Reactive Protein and Cerebral Small-Vessel Disease The Rotterdam Scan Study

TL;DR: Higher CRP levels were associated with presence and progression of white matter lesions, particularly with marked lesion progression, and these associations persisted after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors and carotid atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between blood pressure, white matter lesions, and atrophy of the medial temporal lobe.

TL;DR: Investigating the association of blood pressure and markers of small-vessel disease with hippocampal and amygdalar atrophy on MRI found indicators of Alzheimer pathology may be associated with atrophy of structures affected by Alzheimer pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measuring progression of cerebral white matter lesions on MRI Visual rating and volumetrics

TL;DR: Commonly used visual rating scales are not well suited for measuring change in white matter lesion severity, and the new WML change scale is more accurate and precise, and may be of use in studies focusing on progression of white matter lesions.
