When these tiny blood vessel pulses become excessive, they may interfere with the brain’s “glymphatic system,” a recently ...

Researchers have discovered that problems with the brain’s waste-clearing system—the glymphatic system—may significantly ...

A major international study has uncovered a new biological clue that could help predict dementia long before memory problems ...

Perivascular space volume did not predict dementia. Higher DTI-ALPS (HR 0.866, 95% CI 0.797-0.942, P =0.001) was associated with a lower risk of incident dementia. Higher choroid plexus volume (HR ...

Problems with the brain's waste clearance system could underlie many cases of dementia and help explain why poor sleep ...

A new study finds that older adults with gum disease are more likely to show signs of white matter damage in the brain — a change tied to memory decline, balance issues, and higher stroke risk.

Disturbed sleep was associated with greater small vessel disease (SVD) burden and worse cognitive performance in patients with transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or mild stroke. This cross-sectional ...

What is mild chronic small vessel disease? Mild chronic small vessel disease, or cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), is an umbrella term for a range of conditions caused by damage to small blood ...

Two new studies suggest that maintaining good oral health could be more than just good hygiene — it might lower the risk for ...

Patients hospitalized for severe COVID-19 exhibit cardiac systolic dysfunction and small vessel disease at long-term follow-up. This is according to a new study from Karolinska Institutet and ...
