Renin-angiotensin system blockade and cognitive function in patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease: analysis of data from the ONTARGET and TRANSCEND studies

Background: cardiovascular risk factors are associated with dementia and cognitive decline. We investigated the effects of renin-angiotensin system blockade on cognitive function in patients aged 55 years and older with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or diabetes with end-organ damage in two clinical trials.; Methods: in the main study, ONTARGET, a double-blind, double-dummy, randomised controlled trial, […]

Results from a pilot study on amiodarone administration in monogenic frontotemporal dementia with granulin mutation

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is one of the most important neurodegenerative conditions and Granulin (GRN) is one of the major genes associated to the disease. FTD-GRN patients are still orphan for any evidence-based target-therapy approach. Interestingly, it has been recently found that alkalizing agents rescued haploinsufficiency in cellular models expressing FTD-GRN mutations. We set up a […]

Normal pressure hydrocephalus or neuroborreliosis?

Background: An 80-year-old woman presented with progressive cognitive decline and with a 6-month history of gait ataxia. Brain MRI depicted enlarged ventricles and periventricular lesions. Clinical improvement after CSF spinal tap test suggested a normal pressure hydrocephalus syndrome. But CSF pleocytosis with activated lymphocytes and plasma cells and intrathecal Borrelia burgdorferi specific antibody production led […]
