Chronic solvent-induced encephalopathy (CSE) is a condition induced by long-term exposure to organic solvents, often—but not always—in the workplace, that lead to a wide variety of persisting sensorimotor polyneuropathies and neurobehavioral deficits even after solvent exposure has been removed.
However, white matter atrophy alone is not sufficient for this disease; evidence of subcortical dementia is also necessary. [9] The histologic findings are diffuse, irregular loss of axons and myelin accompanied by widespread gliosis, tissue death due to an infarction or loss of blood supply to the brain, and changes in the plasticity of
Children with childhood dementias suffer severe sleep disturbances, movement disorders (e.g. muscle spasms, tremors), deterioration of communication skills, loss of vision and hearing, mood disorders, psychosis (including hallucinations and delusions) and incontinence. [3] This situation can cause many emotional changes for parents and children.
Patients on the blood-thinning drug Warfarin experienced higher rates of dementia and Alzheimer's, according to a new study. Widely-used heart drug linked to increased dementia risk Skip to main ...
Subtypes of vascular dementia include subcortical vascular dementia, multi-infarct dementia, stroke-related dementia, and mixed dementia. [2] [5] Subcortical vascular dementia occurs from damage to small blood vessels in the brain. Multi-infarct dementia results from a series of small strokes affecting several brain regions.
AFib, the most common heart rhythm disorder, is linked to a 39% increased risk of cognitive impairment, while coronary heart disease increases the risk of dementia by 27%, with up to 50% of heart ...
Human brains today contain 50% more plastic than in 2016, a new study found. Brain of people diagnosed with dementia had the most.
Unless rarely, fracture involves the suture lines (more common in children), then epidural hematoma may cross the suture lines. [4] As the blood accumulated in the epidural space is confined within suture lines, accumulation of additional blood will cause bulging in this space, and thus resulting in a typical "biconvex" appearance on CT scans.
