Periventricular white matter lucencies in senile dementia of the Alzheimer type and in normal aging

Rezek, Donald L., Morris, John C., Fulling, Keith H., Gado, Mokhtar H.·1987·Neurology

Abstract

The significance of periventricular lucencies in the white matter on CT in demented patients is not understood. We studied the relationship of these changes to mental status of subjects with senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. A semiquantitative method showed more numerous and extensive lucencies in demented than in healthy elderly. Neuropathologic examination of five subjects with these changes and confirmed Alzheimer's disease revealed diffuse white matter pallor without infarction. There were no hypertensive vascular changes, although limited hyaline thickening was present.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
