	eMedicine - Vascular Dementia : Article by Kannayiram Alagiakrishnan
		Vascular dementia is sometimes further classified as cortical or subcortical dementia.
		Vascular cognitive disorder (VCD) is a new term used to describe a particular constellation of cognitive and functional impairment spectrum that ranges from vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) to subcortical vascular dementia, poststroke dementia, and mixed dementia.
		Vascular dementia is the second most common cause of dementia in the United States and Europe, but it is the most common form in some parts of Asia.

	Vascular Dementia
		Vascular dementia (also known as multi-infarct dementia) is considered by some to be the second most common dementing illness after Alzheimer’s disease.
		The incidence of vascular dementia is slightly higher among men than among women and appears typically in those between 60 to 75 years of age.
		Vascular dementia is neither reversible nor curable, but treatment of underlying conditions, such as high blood pressure, may prevent further progression of the disorder.

	[No title]
		The phrase "vascular ring" was first used by Dr. Robert Gross (Chief of Surgery, Boston Children's Hospital, 1947 to 1967) in his report describing the first successful division of a double aortic arch in 1945.[1] In that manuscript, Gross recalled his observations at the time of an autopsy he performed in 1931.
		Vascular rings are rare in the overall spectrum of diseases that cause respiratory symptoms in children, and their diagnosis requires a heightened index of suspicion.
		The diagnosis of a vascular ring requires a sequential evaluation of the child.[7] Once the diagnosis of a vascular ring has been made, it is important to resist the temptation to continue obtaining different studies that simply reconfirm the diagnosis.

	What is vascular dementia? - Alzheimer's Society
		Vascular dementia is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease.
		Vascular dementia is a type of dementia caused by problems in the supply of blood in the brain.
		This type of dementia, also known as sub-cortical vascular dementia or, in a severe form, Binswanger's disease, is caused by damage to tiny blood vessels that lie deep in the brain.

	Vascular Dementia: Symptoms, Prognosis, and Support
		Vascular dementia is a degenerative cerebrovascular disease that leads to a progressive decline in memory and cognitive functioning.
		The most common type of vascular dementia is multi-infarct dementia (MID), which is caused by a series of small strokes, or “mini-strokes,” that often go unnoticed and cause damage to the cortex of the brain—the area associated with learning, memory, and language.
		Individuals with vascular dementia or any other type of dementia should be encouraged to participate in their daily routine, and engage in physical and social activities for as long as possible.

	Society Of Interventional Radiology - Patients and Public - Vascular Diseases
		The vascular system is the network of blood vessels that circulate blood to and from the heart and lungs.
		People with risk factors or any signs or symptoms of vascular disease, should be evaluated by a physician.
		Untreated vascular disease can lead to serious health problems, such as tissue death and gangrene requiring amputation or other surgery; chronic disability and pain; and weakened blood vessels that may rupture without warning.

	Vascular Access
		Finally, if a vascular access principal procedure code was located, the further restriction that the procedure date must have been within 5 days of the admission date was applied to exclude those cases where an admission for a reason other than vascular access included a vascular access procedure.
		Once Part B vascular access CPT codes were identified, an attempt was made to match Inpatient institutional (IP) and Outpatient institutional (OP) claims to the Part B claims in such a way as to consider only "pure" vascular access hospitalizations and outpatient claims.
		All vascular access or catheter interventions were considered to be outcome events (i.e., time to first intervention, time to final access removal, or new access replacement).

	Postgraduate Medicine: Vascular dementia
		Vascular dementia is the second most common form of dementia, ranking after Alzheimer's disease, and is likely to have an increasing impact in an aging population (1,2).
		Both the incidence and the prevalence of vascular dementia increase with age and tend to be higher in men (11), perhaps secondary to the increased prevalence of vascular risk factors in men.
		Given the parallels between vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease and the evidence that reduced cholinergic function may also play a role in the symptoms of vascular dementia, enhancing cholinergic transmission may be a rational approach to treatment.

	Treatment of Vascular Malformations
		Vascular Malformation is a general term that includes congenital vascular anomalies of only veins, only lymph vessels, both veins and lymph vessels, or both Arteries and Veins:
		All vascular malformations require long term surveillance, so that if there is any change, such as a growth spurt with puberty or pregnancy or menopause, they can be monitored for symptoms that may warrant rechecking and possibly retreating.
		However, since congenital vascular malformations are relatively rare, it is probably advisable to obtain treatment at a major center that sees many patients.
