Current history of pulmonary aspiration without effective response to speech-language pathology interventions to improve dysphagia and decrease aspiration events. 2018;48:629. Generalized thickening and stiffening of cerebral arteries (arteriosclerosis) is also accompanied by patchy thickening and the accumulation of cholesterol within atherosclerotic plaques of the major cerebral arteries. Cerebral arteriosclerosis can cause serious health problems. This was challenged in the 1960s and 1970s by seminal postmortem studies revealing AD change in many cases of dementia. that provoke tonic changes in cerebral vessels. P.B. In the curved vessels, the low WSS is usually located in the medial wall of the artery, while the high WSS is usually located in the lateral wall of the artery, while the siphon segment contains two curved vessels, so it is difficult to judge the WSS level in this artery. https://doi.org/10.1089/ars.2016.6904. Therefore, WSS can also be regarded as the friction formed when blood flow contacting with the blood vessel wall. IA initiation and growth are dynamic, and all the studies described focused on one certain stage of IA, lacking long-term dynamic outcome. https://doi.org/10.1160/th15-07-0597. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2017.02.032. The patient can then develop plaques and lesions in their cerebral arteries which narrow as a result. Alzheimer's disease and other progressive dementias are life-altering and eventually fatal conditions for which curative therapy is not available. Patients with dementia or Alzheimers are eligible for hospice care when they show all of the following characteristics: 1 Unable to ambulate without assistance Unable to dress without assistance Yang C, Qi ZY, Shao C, Xing WK, Wang Z. Schmid H, Grytsan A, Poshtan E, Watton PN, Itskov M. Influence of differing material properties in media and adventitia on arterial adaptation--application to aneurysm formation and rupture. 2019;50(6):15703. The integrity of vessel structure enhances the protective effect against risk factors. Anti-coagulation medication may also be prescribed to help prevent the development of cerebral arteriosclerosis. Cerebral arteriosclerosis is related to vascular dementia which can result from silent strokes and transient ischemic attacks (also known as mini-strokes).
