Is depression in mild cognitive impairment associated with progression to Alzheimer 's disease : a longitudinal study?
Depressive symptoms in MCI appear to be predictors for progression to AD.
Following a standardized protocol, the evaluation of UWF FA for NPA and NPI is reproducible. Both parameters are correlated highly with the presence of PPLs and DR severity. Given that the presence and extent of PPLs have been associated with increased risks of DR progression, the clinical identification of PPLs may reflect closely the extent of nonperfusion and ischemia, thus accounting for the increased risk of progression.
