Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) are abnormal differences seen in magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in patients with Alzheimer's disease. ARIA is associated with anti-amyloid drugs, particularly human monoclonal antibodies such as aducanumab. [1] There are two types of ARIA: ARIA-E and ARIA-H.
Two amyloid plaques from the brain of a patient with Alzheimer's disease. In this photomicrograph , neurites are darkly stained with the Naoumenko-Feigin silver method, and the pink elements (including the plaque cores) are stained with the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) counterstain.
CAA is associated with brain hemorrhages, particularly microhemorrhages.The accumulation of amyloid beta peptide deposits in the blood vessel walls results in damage of the blood vessels and hindrance of normal blood flow, making blood vessels more prone to bleeding [10] Since CAA can be caused by the same amyloid protein that is associated with Alzheimer's dementia, brain bleeds [11] are more ...
Sabalza said experts believe it relates to the removal of amyloid plaques from the brain. ... (ARIA-H) occurs when small bleeding events in the brain occur, and imaging can detect them ...
Right after each IV, researchers aimed the focused ultrasound on a specific amyloid-clogged part of each patient’s brain, opening the blood brain-barrier so more of that day’s dose might enter ...
Florbetaben, sold under the brand name Neuraceq, is a diagnostic radiotracer developed for routine clinical application to visualize β-amyloid plaques in the brain. It is a fluorine-18 (18 F)-labeled stilbene derivative.
New research is contradicting previously held views that only neurons secret beta-amyloid that forms toxic plaques, a marker of Alzheimer's disease in the brain. The study points to another ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to assess brain structure, connectivity, and the extent of white matter disease; Positron emission tomography (PET) scans to assess how well the brain uses glucose, and the extent of amyloid plaques and tau tangles. Neuropathological examination if a participant dies and has consented to autopsy.
