Article Abstract
Aims: Extended fasting-postprandial switch intermitting time has been shown to affect Alzheimer's disease (AD). Few studies have investigated the cerebral perfusion response to fasting-postprandial metabolic switching (FMS) in AD patients. We aimed to evaluate the cerebral perfusion response to FMS in AD patients.
Methods: In total, 30 AD patients, 32 mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, and 30 healthy control individuals (HCs) were included in the quantification of cerebral perfusion via cerebral blood flow (CBF). The cerebral perfusion response to FMS was defined as the difference (ΔCBF) between fasting and postprandial CBF.
Results: Patients with AD had a regional negative ΔCBF in the anterior temporal lobe, part of the occipital lobe and the parietal lobe under FMS stimulation, whereas HCs had no significant ΔCBF. The AD patients had lower ΔCBF values in the right anterior temporal lobe than the MCI patients and HCs. ΔCBF in the anterior temporal lobe was negatively correlated with cognitive severity and cognitive reserve factors in AD patients.
Conclusions: AD patients exhibited a poor ability to maintain cerebral perfusion homeostasis under FMS stimulation. The anterior temporal lobe is a distinct area that responds to FMS in AD patients and negatively correlates with cognitive function.

Cerebral autoregulation in orthostatic hypotension and falls among older adults: a community-based exploratory study.

Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is prevalent in older adults and is often associated with falls. However, the presence or absence of symptoms in OH may be mediated by cerebral autoregulation, which helps maintain cerebral perfusion during blood pressure fluctuations.
Methods: We recruited 40 older adults (aged ≥ 55 years) from the Malaysian Elders Longitudinal Research (MELoR) cohort.
Cerebral oximetry in antegrade versus retrograde cerebral perfusion in aortic surgery.

BackgroundThe optimal cerebral protection strategy during complex aortic surgery remains controversial, and various brain monitoring modalities are used to provide different information to improve cerebral protection. This study aims to compare the effect of the change in cerebral oxygen saturation during hypothermic circulatory arrest on the early postoperative neurological outcome in antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) versus retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) during circulatory arrest in adult aortic surgery using cerebral oximetry.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional analytic study that enrolled a total of 84 patients undergoing total circulatory arrest during adult aortic surgery divided into two groups.

Background: The hippocampus plays a critical role in psychosis, with reduced volume observed across the psychosis continuum. These structural changes are associated with cognitive deficits, symptom severity, and increased risk of psychosis progression. Elevated hippocampal perfusion and glutamate/GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) imbalance further suggest metabolic dysregulation as a key mechanism.

Introduction: Reperfusion failure (RF) describes a condition in which patients suffering a large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke present insufficient tissue reperfusion and recovery despite optimal mechanical thrombectomy (MT) results. Approximately 50% of patients suffering from LVO are affected. Our current understanding of the underlying pathomechanisms is limited and mostly based on rodent models.

Background: Disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in high-grade brain tumors is characterized by contrast accumulation on diagnostic imaging. This window of opportunity study correlates contrast imaging features with the tumor distribution of BBB-permeable (levetiracetam) and -impermeable (cefazolin) drugs.
Methods: Patients with a clinical diagnosis of a high-grade brain tumor underwent MRI for surgical planning.
