  1. Before the bolus: why anti-amyloid therapy must become part of every stroke code

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Annals of medicine and surgery (2012) 2026-08-21 Treatments

    Anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies provide disease-modifying treatment options for selected patients with early symptomatic Alzheimer disease, but introduce new challenges for acute stroke care.

  2. Arteriolosclerosis CSVD: a common cause of dementia and stroke and its association with cognitive function and total MRI burden

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2023-07-14 Biomarkers

    The disease course of arteriolosclerosis CSVD may be related to cognitive function and total MRI burden.

  3. Cognitive impairment and stroke in elderly patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Vascular health and risk management 2016-03-24 Drug development

    We reviewed current knowledge about the interaction between stroke and vascular risk factors and the development of cognitive impairment and dementia.

  4. Genetic factors in cerebral small vessel disease and their impact on stroke and dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of cerebral blood flow and metabolism : official journal of the International Society of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism 2016-01-01 Genetics

    Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is among the most frequent causes of both stroke and dementia.

  5. Potentials of incretin-based therapies in dementia and stroke in type 2 diabetes mellitus

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Journal of diabetes investigation 2015-10-03 Drug development

    Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at risk for accelerated cognitive decline and dementia.

  6. Memantine enhances recovery from stroke

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Stroke 2014-06-17 Treatments

    Our results suggest that memantine improves stroke outcomes in an apparently non-neuroprotective manner involving increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling, reduced reactive astrogliosis, and improved vascularization, associated with improved recovery of sensory and motor cortical function.

  7. Antihypertensive treatment can prevent stroke and cognitive decline

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Nature reviews. Neurology 2012-12-18 Drug development

    Hypertension is a highly prevalent risk factor for stroke and dementia, and is the greatest risk factor for small-vessel disease-a frequent cause of lacunar infarction and intracerebral haemorrhage.

  8. Lacunar stroke

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Expert review of neurotherapeutics 2009-02-01 Drug development

    Lacunar infarcts or small subcortical infarcts result from occlusion of a single penetrating artery and account for one quarter of cerebral infarctions.

  9. Prevention of stroke and dementia with statins: Effects beyond lipid lowering

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The American journal of cardiology 2003-02-01 Drug development

    Stroke is a major cause of mortality and morbidity.
