Vascular risk factors, HIV serostatus, and cognitive dysfunction in gay and bisexual men.

18 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between cognitive performance, risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (CVD), and HIV infection in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy. METHODS: ... Read more...

Periodontitis and incidence of cerebrovascular disease in men.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To identify associations between periodontitis and incidence of cerebrovascular disease. METHODS: We analyzed data of 1,137 dentate men in the Veterans Affairs Normative Aging and Dental Longitudinal Study who were followed with triennial ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Cerebrovascular Disorders'

Definition: A spectrum of pathological conditions of impaired blood flow in the brain. They can involve vessels (ARTERIES; or VEINS) in the CEREBRUM, the CEREBELLUM, and the BRAIN STEM. Major categories include INTRACRANIAL ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS; BRAIN ISCHEMIA; CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE; and others.
