Interobserver agreement for the assessment of handicap in stroke patients.

TL;DR: The results confirm the value of the modified Rankin scale in the assessment of handicap in stroke patients; nevertheless, further improvements are possible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of missense and 5′-splice-site mutations in tau with the inherited dementia FTDP-17

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors sequenced tau in FTDP-17 families and identified three missense mutations (G272V, P301L and R406W) and three mutations in the 5' splice site of exon in
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebral white matter lesions, vascular risk factors, and cognitive function in a population‐based study The Rotterdam Study

TL;DR: In this article, the prevalence of white matter lesions and their relation with classic cardiovascular risk factors, thrombogenic factors, and cognitive function in an age and gender-stratified random sample from the general population were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Periventricular lesions in the white matter on magnetic resonance imaging in the elderly. A morphometric correlation with arteriolosclerosis and dilated perivascular spaces

TL;DR: The findings suggest that arteriolosclerosis is the primary factor in the pathogenesis of diffuse white matter lesions in the elderly, soon followed by demyelination and loss of axons, and only later by dilatation of perivascular spaces.
Journal ArticleDOI

DJ-1( PARK7), a novel gene for autosomal recessive, early onset parkinsonism.

TL;DR: Evidence from genetic studies on the yeast DJ-1 homologue, and biochemical studies in murine and human cell lines, suggests a role forDJ-1 as an antioxidant and/or a molecular chaperone, and this will lead to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of DJ- 1-related and common forms of Parkinson’s disease.
