Is vascular cognitive impairment a useful concept?

Neuroprotection in vascular dementia: A future path

“…Secondly, the co-occurrence of vascular and AD pathology is both inevitable and unavoidable in old age. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the brains of patients with AD to frequently show vascular pathology, while generally healthy elderly people often have signs of both pathologies [17]. Thirdly, the clinical course of vascular dementia may mimic that of AD.…”

Prevalence of Sjögren's syndrome with dementia in a memory clinic

“…Recent studies suggest that the real pathogenesis of most cases with dementia is multifactorial and complex rather than a single pathology, and a combination of multiple processes such as DAT pathology, inflammation, Lewy bodies, and vascular lesions contribute to the cognitive decline with aging [23][24][25]. Therefore, in addition to the coincidental occurrence SS with other dementia and CNS SS with cognitive decline, a third clinical condition, SS as an exacerbating factor of other dementia, might be involved in the patients with SS.…”

Cognitive disconnective syndrome by single strategic strokes in vascular dementia

“…The strokes that occur in critical regions of the cognitive/behavioral circuits are denominated strategics [1,2] for producing pictures with clinical expression of vascular dementia (VD) of variable intensity [3][4][5][6][7] dependent on the strategic site involved [1,2].…”
