  1. Is high oral dose L-arginine intake effective in leukoaraiosis? Preliminary data, study protocol and expert's opinion

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Current aging science 2013-07-01 Biomarkers

    Because of its high prevalence in over-65-year-old subjects, we hypothesized that treatment with 6 gr of Larginine, as supplementary dietary option, could be helpful in patients affected by leukoaraiosis to improve the cognitive and gait impairment often observed in these subjects (as demonstrated by the LADIS study).

  2. Normal-appearing white matter in ischemic leukoaraiosis: a diffusion tensor MRI study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Neurology 2001-12-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Ischemic leukoaraiosis is a consistent concomitant of vascular dementia.
