Effects of long-term Donepezil therapy on rCBF of Alzheimer's patients

TL;DR: Brain perfusion is preserved in AD patients undergoing chronic Donepezil therapy while it is reduced in untreated patients, and SPECT is a promising tool with which to assess the impact of AChEI therapy on brain functioning of AD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hippocampal perfusion in mild Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: H hippocampal hypoperfusion in patients with mild AD, a correlation between hippocampal perfusion and the severity of cognitive impairment, and enhanced identification of these subtle perfusional changes with the use of an alternative image-reconstruction method that improves the spatial resolution of SPECT images are shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Principal component analysis of FDG PET in amnestic MCI.

TL;DR: Combining memory performance and 18F-FDG PET yielded a higher accuracy than each single tool in identifying CTR and MCI/MCI, while the PC including the left LFC was the hallmark of conversion to AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amnestic mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease: A brain perfusion SPECT study

TL;DR: Cortical dysfunction in Parkinson's disease patients with amnestic deficit showed cortical dysfunction in bilateral posterior parietal and occipital lobes, a pattern that can be especially recognized versus both controls and common aMCI patients, and to a lesser extent versus cognitively intact PD.
