- Abstract
Background Retina is a non-invasive channel for assessing changes in brain microvasculature, which has been implicated in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous studies revealed significant relationship between clinically diagnosed AD and retinal vasculature. However, clinical diagnosis has limited sensitivity and specificity, and those investigations were conducted from traditional retinal fundus photographs which only captured a narrow section of the fundus.Objective Determining changes in retinal vasculature from larger area of retina between subjects with positron emission tomography (PET) biomarker-confirmed AD compared to controls.Methods Participants were recruited from the community and cognitive disorder clinics. Diagnosis of AD was confirmed by significant amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau uptake on PET scan. Retinal vasculature was imaged with ultra-widefield (UWF) scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and a series of vessel parameters were quantified using the semi-automated Singapore I Vessel Assessment (SIVA) software. Statistical analyses were adjusted for age, gender and systolic blood pressure. In addition, arteriole parameters were adjusted against the same measurements in venules, and vice versa.Results Out of the 39 patients, 18 had radiologically confirmed AD. These individuals with AD showed significantly smaller arteriolar fractal dimension (p = 0.032) in UWF images and greater venular tortuosity (p= 0.011) in standard fundus images compared with controls. Presence of significant Aβ and tau burden was associated with lower arteriolar caliber (OR 3.857; 95% CI 1.014–14.67; p = 0.048).Conclusions Reduction of fractal dimension in retinal arterioles observed in UWF imaging is associated with cerebral Aβ and tau burden in people with biomarker-confirmed AD. Wide field retinal imaging provides an alternative perspective in demonstrating microvascular alterations related to AD in this pilot study.

Background: Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is a major cause of stroke and dementia. Previous studies on the prevalence of cSVD are mostly based on single geographically defined cohorts in high-income countries. Studies investigating the prevalence of cSVD in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are expanding but have not been systematically assessed. Aim: This study aims to systematically review the prevalence of cSVD in LMICs. Results: Articles were searched from the Ovid MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from 1 January 2000 to 31 March 2022, without language restrictions. Title/abstract screening, full-text review, and data extraction were performed by two to seven independent reviewers. The prevalence of cSVD and study sample size were extracted by pre-defined world regions and health status. The Risk of Bias for Non-randomized Studies tool was used. The protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022311133). A meta-analysis of proportion was performed to assess the prevalence of different magnetic resonance imaging markers of cSVD, and a meta-regression was performed to investigate associations between cSVD prevalence and type of study, age, and male: female ratio. Of 2743 studies identified, 42 studies spanning 12 global regions were included in the systematic review. Most of the identified studies were from China (n = 23). The median prevalence of moderate-to-severe white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) was 20.5%, 40.5%, and 58.4% in the community, stroke, and dementia groups, respectively. The median prevalence of lacunes was 0.8% and 33.5% in the community and stroke groups. The median prevalence of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) was 10.7% and 22.4% in the community and stroke groups. The median prevalence of moderate-to-severe perivascular spaces was 25.0% in the community. Meta-regression analyses showed that the weighted median age (51.4 ± 0.0 years old; range: 36.3–80.2) was a significant predictor of the prevalence of moderate-to-severe WMH and lacunes, while the type of study was a significant predictor of the prevalence of CMB. The heterogeneity of studies was high (>95%). Male participants were overrepresented. Conclusions: This systematic review and meta-analysis provide data on cSVD prevalence in LMICs and demonstrated the high prevalence of the condition. cSVD research in LMICs is being published at an increasing rate, especially between 2010 and 2022. More data are particularly needed from Sub-Saharan Africa and Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The number of people living with dementia worldwide is growing. Devising and implementing preventive strategies that are globally applicable is of paramount importance. However, previous studies have largely been limited to cohorts that are geographically and culturally homogenous. It is not known whether the associations between demographics, vascular risk factors (VRFs), and cognitive changes are consistent across cohorts with cultural and geographical variations.

- Abstract
Importance: Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is associated with various cerebrovascular outcomes, but data on sex differences in SVD are scarce., Objective: To investigate whether the frequency, severity, and distribution of cerebral microbleeds (CMB), other SVD markers on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and outcomes differ by sex., Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study used pooled individual patient data from the Microbleeds International Collaborative Network, including patients from 38 prospective cohort studies in 18 countries between 2000 and 2018, with clinical follow-up of at least 3 months (up to 5 years). Participants included patients with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack with available brain MRI. Data were analyzed from April to December 2023., Main Outcomes and Measures: Outcomes of interest were presence of CMB, lacunes, and severe white matter hyperintensities determined on MRI. Additionally, mortality, recurrent ischemic stroke, and intracranial hemorrhage during follow-up were assessed. Multivariable random-effects logistic regression models, Cox regression, and competing risk regression models were used to investigate sex differences in individual SVD markers, risk of recurrent cerebrovascular events, and death., Results: A total of 20 314 patients (mean [SD] age, 70.1 [12.7] years; 11 721 [57.7%] male) were included, of whom 5649 (27.8%) had CMB. CMB were more frequent in male patients, and this was consistent throughout different age groups, locations, and in multivariable models (female vs male adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.86; 95% CI, 0.80-0.92; P < .001). Female patients had fewer lacunes (aOR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.74-0.90; P < .001) but a higher prevalence of severe white matter hyperintensities (aOR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.01-1.20; P = .04) compared with male patients. A total of 2419 patients (11.9%) died during a median (IQR) follow-up of 1.4 (0.7-2.5) years. CMB presence was associated with a higher risk of mortality in female patients (hazard ratio, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.02-1.31), but not male patients (hazard ratio, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.84-1.07) (P for interaction = .01). A total of 1113 patients (5.5%) had recurrent ischemic stroke, and 189 patients (0.9%) had recurrent intracranial hemorrhage, with no sex differences., Conclusions and Relevance: This cohort study using pooled individual patient data found varying frequencies of individual SVD markers between female and male patients, indicating potential pathophysiological differences in manifestation and severity of SVD. Further research addressing differences in pathomechanisms and outcomes of SVD between female and male patients is required.

- Abstract
Introduction: The benefit and risk of aerobic exercise among older people harboring advanced cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) upon cognition, mood, and motor functions are unknown., Methods: This rater-blind randomized trial examined effects of a 24-week aerobic exercise training (60 min/session, twice/week) upon clinical (cognition, mood, motor functions) and hemodynamic (pulse pressure [PP], blood pressure [BP], pulsatility index) measures in older people harboring moderate to severe CSVD, as evidenced by confluent white matter hyperintensity and/or ≥2 lacunes on magnetic resonance imaging. We further investigated interactions between treatment conditions and hemodynamics measures., Results: Fifty-three and 54 subjects were randomized into the active and control group, respectively. There was no between-group difference in any of the clinical outcomes. The active group had a greater between-group reduction in systolic BP and PP than the control group. Within-group comparison showed that global cognition of the active group remained similar at end of the study compared to baseline, whereas it declined significantly in the control group. We observed "diverging" interaction effects in that greater reduction in systolic BP/PP was associated with greater improvement in memory functions and global cognition but worsening in processing speed in the active group. Side effects were comparable between the two groups., Discussion: Future study should investigate the mechanisms of the diverging impacts of aerobic exercise upon different cognitive domains so that the benefit-risk ratio of aerobic exercise in older people harboring more advanced CSVD can be better defined., Competing Interests: In the past 36 months, Adrian Wong reports payment from Hong Kong Court (payment made to him).
