Journal ArticleDOI
Parietal white matter lesions in Alzheimer’s disease are associated with cortical neurodegenerative pathology, but not with small vessel disease
Kirsty E. McAleese,Lauren Walker,Sophie Graham,Elisa L. J. Moya,Mary Johnson,Daniel Erskine,Sean J. Colloby,Madhurima Dey,Carmen Martin-Ruiz,John-Paul Taylor,Alan J. Thomas,Ian G. McKeith,Charles De Carli,Johannes Attems +13 more
TL;DR: Parietal W ML as seen on MRI should not invariably be interpreted as a surrogate biomarker for SVD as they may be indicative of cortical AD-pathology, and therefore, AD should also be considered as the main underlying cause for cognitive impairment in cases with parietal WML.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropathologically mixed Alzheimer’s and Lewy body disease: burden of pathological protein aggregates differs between clinical phenotypes
Lauren Walker,Kirsty E. McAleese,Alan J. Thomas,Mary Johnson,Carmen Martin-Ruiz,Craig Parker,Sean J. Colloby,Kurt A. Jellinger,Johannes Attems +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that in neuropathologically mixed AD/DLB cases both the amount and the topographical distribution of pathological protein aggregates differed between distinct clinical phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
TDP-43 pathology in Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and ageing.
Kirsty E. McAleese,Lauren Walker,Daniel Erskine,Alan J. Thomas,Ian G. McKeith,Johannes Attems +5 more
TL;DR: The validity of the T DP‐43 in AD staging scheme is not limited to AD and should be applied to assess TDP‐43 pathology in post mortem brains of aged individuals to further elucidate the role of TDP•43 pathologyIn age associated neurodegeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-mortem assessment in vascular dementia: advances and aspirations
Kirsty E. McAleese,Irina Alafuzoff,Andreas Charidimou,Jacques De Reuck,Lea T. Grinberg,Lea T. Grinberg,Atticus H. Hainsworth,Tibor Hortobágyi,Paul G. Ince,Kurt A. Jellinger,Jing Gao,Raj N. Kalaria,Gabor G. Kovacs,Eniko Veronika Kovari,Seth Love,Mara Popović,Olivia Anna Skrobot,Ricardo Taipa,Dietmar Rudolf Thal,David J. Werring,Stephen B. Wharton,Johannes Attems +21 more
TL;DR: Elucidation of the pathophysiology of cerebrovascular disease, clarification of characteristic findings of in vivo imaging and knowledge about the impact of combined pathologies are needed to improve the diagnostic accuracy of clinical diagnoses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical tau load is associated with white matter hyperintensities
Kirsty E. McAleese,Michael J. Firbank,Madhurima Dey,Sean J. Colloby,Lauren Walker,Mary Johnson,Joshua R. Beverley,John-Paul Taylor,Alan J. Thomas,John T. O'Brien,Johannes Attems +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that increasing cortical HPτ burden independently predicted the severity of WMH indicating its potentially important role in the pathogenesis of WM damage.
