Does prospective CT confirm differences between vascular and Alzheimer 's dementia?
In IVD, recurrent strokes were not observed clinically during risk factor control, and antiplatelet therapy and cognitive impairments improved or stabilized. In DAT, cognitive performance relentlessly declined. Ischemic pathogenesis for vascular dementia is supported by the following: (1) cognitive declines correlate directly with recurrent "silent" strokes, and (2) bidirectional cognitive changes correlate directly with frontal white matter, thalamic, and internal capsular perfusional changes.
Over a 9-month follow-up, BMD and FFM gains were more evident in male swimmers, while longer engagement in swimming negatively affected BMD gains, independently of sex.
