White matter hyperintensities (WMH) of presumed vascular origin, also referred to as
leukoaraiosis, are a very common finding on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or …

Comorbidities are a hallmark of stroke that both increase the incidence of stroke and worsen
outcome. Hypertension is prevalent in the stroke population and the most important …

Endovascular treatment is a highly effective therapy for acute ischemic stroke due to large
vessel occlusion and has recently revolutionized stroke care. Oftentimes, ischemic core …

Clinical outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke depend in part on the extent of their
collateral circulation. A good collateral circulation has also been associated with greater …

Objective To investigate the relationship between baseline white matter hyperintensities
(WMH) in patients with ischemic stroke and long-term risk of dementia, functional …

The prevalence of obesity is growing and now includes at least one-third of the adult
population in the United States. As obesity and dementia rates reach epidemic proportions …

Lesions of the cerebral white matter (WM) result in focal neurobehavioral syndromes,
neuropsychiatric phenomena, and dementia. The cerebral WM contains fiber pathways that …

Leukoaraiosis or white matter hyperintensities are frequently observed on magnetic
resonance imaging of stroke patients. We investigated how white matter hyperintensity …

Background and Purpose—We sought to establish whether the presence (versus absence)
of a lesion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with diffusion weighting (DWI-MRI) at …

Background: Leukoaraiosis (LA) is closely associated with aging, a major determinant of
clinical outcome after ischemic stroke. In this study we sought to identify whether LA …
