Clinical characteristics and diagnostic accuracy of the revised Addenbrooke Cog...
Tavares Júnior,José Wagner Leonel; Braga Neto,Pedro; Bonfadini,Janine de Carvalho; Bittencourt,Lays; Lopes,Candida Helena; Mendes,LarissaABSTRACT Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R) as a cognitive screening tool for older adults with low levels of schooling and healthy aging, MCI and dementia in Brazil. Methods: All participants underwent neurological and psychiatric examinations and were administered a validated version of ACE-R. Results: A total of 85 participants were eval...
Neuropsychiatric symptoms in brain diseases - historical foundations
Engelhardt,Eliasz; Sudo,Felipe Kenji; Alves,Gilberto Sousa; Laks,JersonABSTRACT. Neuropsychiatric symptoms, which may appear alone or combined with cognitive and neurological manifestations, are frequent in many brain dysfunctions or lesions due to vascular, traumatic, neurodegenerative, or systemic conditions. Throughout history, many of the most prominent names have contributed to the clinical definition of the currently recognized mental symptoms and syndromes. The present pape...

A panel of clinical and neuropathological features of cerebrovascular disease t...
Alves,Gilberto Sousa; Carvalho,Luiza de Amorim de; Sudo,Felipe Kenji; Briand,Lucas; Laks,Jerson; Engelhardt,EliaszABSTRACT. The last decade has witnessed substantial progress in acquiring diagnostic biomarkers for the diagnostic workup of cerebrovascular disease (CVD). Advanced neuroimaging methods not only provide a strategic contribution for the differential diagnosis of vascular dementia (VaD) and vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), but also help elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms ultimately leading to small v...
A continuum of executive function deficits in early subcortical vascular cognit...
Sudo,Felipe Kenji; Amado,Patricia; Alves,Gilberto Sousa; Laks,Jerson; Engelhardt,EliaszABSTRACT. Background. Subcortical Vascular Cognitive Impairment (SVCI) is a clinical continuum of vascular-related cognitive impairment, including Vascular Mild Cognitive Impairment (VaMCI) and Vascular Dementia. Deficits in Executive Function (EF) are hallmarks of the disorder, but the best methods to assess this function have yet to be determined. The insidious and almost predictable course of SVCI and the mu...
Neuropsychiatric symptoms in Vascular Cognitive Impairment: A systematic review
Tiel,Chan; Sudo,Felipe Kenji; Alves,Gilberto Sousa; Ericeira-Valente,Letice; Moreira,Denise Madeira; Laks,Jerson; Engelhardt,EliaszNeuropsychiatric symptoms or Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) are common and invariably appear at some point during the course of the disease, mediated both by cerebrovascular disease and neurodegenerative processes. Few studies have compared the profiles of BPSD in Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI) of different subtypes (subcortical or cortical) and clinical stages (Vascular Cognitive...
Neuroimaging criteria and cognitive performance in vascular mild cognitive impa...
Sudo,Felipe Kenji; Alves,Gilberto Sousa; Tiel,Chan; Ericeira-Valente,Letice; Moreira,Denise Madeira; Laks,Jerson; Engelhardt,EliaszABSTRACT The recognition of Cerebrovascular Disease (CVD) at earlier clinical stages may favor the control of vascular risk factors and prevention of dementia. However, operational criteria for symptomatic phases at non-dementia stages are often difficult, as the current criteria normally require the evidence of extensive subcortical disease. OBJECTIVE To identify the neuroimaging profile of Vascular Mild Cogni...

Sudo,Felipe Kenji; Alves,Carlos Eduardo Oliveira; Alves,Gilberto Sousa; Ericeira-Valente,Letice; Tiel,Chan; Moreira,Denise Madeira; Laks,JersonVascular mild cognitive impairment (VaMCI) represents an early symptomatic stage of vascular cognitive impairment and might be associated to fronto-executive dysfunction.MethodsTwenty-six individuals (age: 73.11±7.90 years; 65.4% female; schooling: 9.84±3.61 years) were selected through neuropsychological assessment and neuroimaging. Clinical and neuroimaging data of VaMCI individuals (n=15) were compared to no...
