ABSTRACT
Background and Purpose: We developed a new digital cognitive assessment called Seoul Cognitive Status Test (SCST), formerly called Inbrain Cognitive Screening Test. The purpose of this study was to validate the clinical utility of the SCST by comparing its scores of those with subjective cognitive decline (SCD), amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), and dementia diagnosed by the Korean version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Packet (CERAD-K). Methods: All participants (n=296) who completed the CERAD-K, SCST, and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living tests were included in this study. Total score, cognitive domain scores, and subtest scores of the SCST were compared among the 3 groups (SCD, aMCI, and dementia). Additionally, correlations between SCST and CERAD-K subtests were examined. Results: Cognitive domain scores and total score of the SCST showed significant differences among the three groups, with scores being the highest in the order of SCD, aMCI, and dementia (p<0.001). Most subtests of the SCST also showed higher scores in the order of SCD, aMCI, and dementia (p<0.001). However, SCD and aMCI groups showed no significant differences in scores of the Phonemic Word Fluency Test (p=0.083) or Korean Trail Making Test-Elderly version Part A (p=0.434). Additionally, there was no significant difference in the score of Place Recognition (p=0.274) of the Word-Place Association Test between aMCI and dementia groups. Conclusions: In conclusion, differences in total score, cognitive domain scores, and subtest scores of the SCST among the 3 groups of participants diagnosed using CERAD-K confirm the clinical utility of the SCST for cognitive assessment.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review considers recent observations on vestibular syncope in terms of clinical features, laboratory findings, and potential mechanisms. RECENT FINDINGS: Vestibular syncope, potentially associated with severe fall-related injuries, may develop multiple times in about one-third of patients. Meniere's disease and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo are the most common causes of vestibular syncope, but the underlying disorders remain elusive in 62% of cases with vestibular syncope. The postictal orthostatic blood pressure test exhibits a lower diagnostic yield. Vestibular function tests, such as cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials and video head impulse tests, can reveal one or more abnormal findings, suggesting compensated or ongoing minor vestibular dysfunctions. The pathomechanism of syncope is assumed to be the erroneous interaction between the vestibulo-sympathetic reflex and the baroreflex that have different operating mechanisms and action latencies. The central vestibular system, which estimates gravity orientation and inertia motion may also play an important role in abnormal vestibulo-sympathetic reflex. SUMMARY: Vestibular disorders elicit erroneous cardiovascular responses by providing false vestibular information. The results include vertigo-induced hypertension or hypotension, which can ultimately lead to syncope in susceptible patients.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome (THS) is a rare disorder, and detailed clinical information and treatment outcomes have yet to be fully elucidated. This study aims to investigate the clinical features and factors associated with the treatment outcomes of THS, as defined by the established diagnostic criteria. METHODS: This study retrospectively recruited 91 patients with a diagnosis of THS from 2003 to 2020. We analyzed the clinical features and outcomes, the initial treatment response, recurrences, and the final treatment response. RESULTS: Isolated ocular motor nerve palsy was the most common (82.4%) finding of ophthalmoplegia, involving the oculomotor nerve in more than half of the cases (52.0%). The MRI lesions were mostly observed in the cavernous sinus (94.5%) with an extracavernous extension in about one-third of them. Five patients showed only extracavernous lesions. A total of 25 (27.5%) patients experienced recurrence. Recurrence occurred during steroid tapering as part of the initial treatment in seven, while in 18 patients, it happened after the successful termination of the initial treatment. However, all patients achieved complete remission at the final. Age was associated with a decrease in initial symptom duration (HR = 1.023, CI = 1.004-1.044) as well as an increase in recurrence-free duration (HR = 0.944, CI = 0.911-0.978). High-dose corticosteroid treatment was associated with a decrease in initial symptom duration (HR = 1.642, CI = 1.001-2.695) and total treatment duration (HR = 2.203 CI = 1.302-3.730). CONCLUSIONS: THS can recur frequently especially in younger but have a favorable prognosis. High-dose corticosteroids can be an effective initial treatment and reduce the total treatment duration.

Cerebellar nodulus and uvula and their connections with the vestibular nuclei form the so-called velocity-storage circuit. Lesions involving the velocity-storage circuit give rise to positional vertigo and nystagmus. Herein, we present a 32-year-old man with cerebellar nodulus and uvular hemorrhage who showed periodic vertigo and downbeat nystagmus in the supine position. To explain this unusual pattern, we adopted velocity-storage model with a lesion on the neural connection between the gravity and inertia estimators, resulting in periodic neural impulses and a gravity bias in a specific position. This report expands the spectrum of central positional nystagmus due to dysfunction of the velocity-storage mechanism.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias is increasing; therefore, identifying individuals at risk for dementia is crucial. Traditional neuropsychological assessments are expensive and time-consuming; however, computerized cognitive testing is becoming popular in clinical and research settings, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the computerized cognitive test, Inbrain cognitive screening test (CST), and the traditional neuropsychological battery, the consortium to establish a registry for Alzheimer's disease assessment packet (CERAD-K). Methods: We enrolled 166 participants from five districts in Republic of Korea, including cognitively unimpaired individuals and those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) diagnosed by experienced neurologists. We used the Inbrain CST and CERAD-K to evaluate the cognitive function of the participants, and the scores of each subtest of the Inbrain CST and CERAD-K were compared. Results: A significant correlation was found between the Inbrain CST and CERAD-K subtests. Furthermore, multivariate analysis revealed a significant correlation between the Inbrain CST and the CERAD-K test pairs after adjusting for age, educational level, and sex. Discussion: In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the Inbrain CST is a reliable tool for detecting cognitive impairment in cognitively unimpaired individuals and patients with MCI, because it has a high correlation and agreement with CERAD-K. Therefore, the Inbrain CST can be a useful, time-efficient, and cost-effective computer-based cognitive test for individuals at risk for cognitive impairment.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder, but the pathogenesis is poorly understood. Several associated brain areas were reported with inconsistent results due to heterogeneous populations. It is necessary to analyze a more homogeneous patient group. METHODS: We recruited 25 drug-naïve ET patients and 36 age- and sex-matched controls. All participants were right-handed. ET. ET was defined according to diagnostic criteria of the Consensus Statement of the Movement Disorder Society on Tremor. ET patients were divided into sporadic (SET) and familial ET (FET). We assessed tremor severity in ET. The cortical microstructural changes were compared between ET patients and controls using mean diffusivity (MD) of diffusion tensor imaging, and cortical thickness. The correlation of tremor severity with the cortical MD and thickness were respectively analyzed. RESULTS: MD values were increased in the insular, precuneus, medial orbitofrontal, posterior, and isthmus cingulate and temporo-occipital areas in ET. In comparison between SET and FET, MD values were higher in the superior and caudal middle frontal, postcentral, and temporo-occipital regions in FET. The cortical thickness of ET patients was more increased in the left lingual gyrus and lower in the right bankssts gyrus. We could not find any correlation of tremor severity with the MD values in ET patients. Still, there was a positive correlation with the cortical thickness of the frontal and parietal areas. CONCLUSIONS: Our results support the idea that ET is a disorder that disrupts widespread brain regions and indicates that cortical MD may be more sensitive to measure brain abnormalities than cortical thickness.

BACKGROUND: Early and appropriate diagnosis of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is clinically important because aMCI is considered the prodromal stage of dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease (AD). aMCI is assessed using the comprehensive neuropsychological (NP) battery, but it is rater-dependent and does not provide quick results. Thus, we investigated the performance of the computerized cognitive screening test (Inbrain Cognitive Screening Test; Inbrain CST) in the diagnosis of aMCI and compared its performance to that of the Korean version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD) test (CERAD-K), a comprehensive and pencil-and-paper NP test. METHODS: A total of 166 participants were included in this cross-sectional study. The participants were recruited as part of a prospective, community-based cohort study for MCI (PREcision medicine platform for mild cognitive impairment on multi-omics, imaging, evidence-based R&BD; PREMIER). All participants were assessed using the CERAD-K and the Inbrain CST. The Inbrain CST comprised seven subtests that assessed the following five cognitive domains: attention, language, visuospatial, memory, and executive functions. Seventy-six participants underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging and [18F]-flutemetamol positron emission tomography (PET). We evaluated the diagnostic performance of the Inbrain CST for the identification of aMCI by comparing the findings with those of CERAD-K. We also determined the characteristics of aMCI patients as defined by the CERAD-K and Inbrain CST. RESULTS: Of the 166 participants, 93 were diagnosed with aMCI, while 73 were cognitively unimpaired. The sensitivity of the Inbrain CST for aMCI diagnosis was 81.7%, and its specificity was 84.9%. Positive and negative predictive values were 87.4% and 78.5%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy was 83.1%, and the error rate was 16.9%. Demographic and clinical characteristics between individuals with aMCI defined by the Inbrain CST and CERAD-K were not significantly different. The frequency of positive amyloid PET scan, the hippocampal/parahippocampal volumes, and AD signature cortical thickness did not differ between the patients with aMCI defined by CERAD-K and those with aMCI defined by the Inbrain CST. CONCLUSION: The Inbrain CST showed sufficient sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values for diagnosing objective memory impairment in aMCI. In addition, aMCI patients identified by CERAD-K and the Inbrain CST showed comparable clinical and neuroimaging characteristics. Therefore, the Inbrain CST can be considered an alternative test to supplement the limitations of existing pencil-and-paper NP tests.

For patients with acute ischemic stroke, histological quantification of thrombus composition provides evidence for determining appropriate treatment. However, the traditional manual segmentation of stained thrombi is laborious and inconsistent. In this study, we propose a label-free method that combines optical diffraction tomography (ODT) and deep learning (DL) to automate the histological quantification process. The DL model classifies ODT image patches with 95% accuracy, and the collective prediction generates a whole-slide map of red blood cells and fibrin. The resulting whole-slide composition displays an average error of 1.1% and does not experience staining variability, facilitating faster analysis with reduced labor. The present approach will enable rapid and quantitative evaluation of blood clot composition, expediting the preclinical research and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.

Importance: Hearing loss is the most important modifiable risk factor for cognitive impairment; however, the association of hearing loss with anatomical and functional connectivity is not fully understood. This association may be elucidated by evaluating the findings of newer imaging technologies. Objectives: To evaluate the association of hearing loss with anatomical and functional connectivity in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by using multimodal imaging technology. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of patients with MCI under the care of a neurology clinic at the Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital (Republic of Korea) from April to September 2021. Data were analyzed from April 1 to June 30, 2022. Main Outcomes and Measures: Pure tone averages (PTA) and word recognition scores were used to measure hearing acuity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography scans of the brain were used to assess functional and anatomical connectivity. Results of diffusion MRI, voxel- and surface-based morphometric imaging, and global brain amyloid standardized uptake ratio were analyzed. Neuroimaging parameters of patients with MCI plus hearing loss were compared with those of patients with MCI and no hearing loss. Correlation analyses among neuroimaging parameters, PTA, and word recognition scores were performed. Results: Of 48 patients with MCI, 30 (62.5%) had hearing loss (PTA >25 dB) and 18 (37.5%) did not (PTA ≤25 dB). Median (IQR) age was 73.5 (69.0-78.0) years in the group with hearing loss and 75.0 (65.0-78.0) years in the group with normal hearing; there were 20 (66.7%) and 14 (77.8%) women in each group, respectively. The group with MCI plus hearing loss demonstrated decreased functional connectivity between the bilateral insular and anterior divisions of the cingulate cortex, and decreased fractional anisotropy in the bilateral fornix, corpus callosum forceps major and tapetum, left parahippocampal cingulum, and left superior thalamic radiation. Fractional anisotropy in the corpus callosum forceps major and bilateral parahippocampal cingulum negatively correlated with the severity of hearing loss shown by PTA testing. The 2 groups were not significantly different in global ß-amyloid uptake, gray matter volume, and cortical thickness. Conclusion and Relevance: The findings of this prospective cross-sectional study suggest that alterations in the salience network may contribute to the neural basis of cognitive impairment associated with hearing loss in patients who are on the Alzheimer disease continuum.

Object: To study multimodal neuroimaging study including resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI), anatomical connectivity and brain morphology in patients with bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) and relationship with clinical correlation. Methods: Thirteen patients with BVP (7 women; mean age ± SD = 63.5 ± 14.7 years, 22-80 years) and eighteen age and gender-matched controls were compared rs-fMRI and anatomical MRI. Also, we analyzed the relationship between multimodal neuroimaging and Dizziness Handicap Inventory score (DHI), Vestibular Disorders Activities of Daily Living Scale (VDRL), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Results: Compared with controls, BVP patients showed decreased functional connectivity among the key nodes of the salience network, auditory (including vestibular) network, bilateral posterior parahippocampal gyri, bilateral paracingulate gyri, and right frontoparietal network, and the anatomical connectivity in the right cerebellum, corpus callosum tapetum, and left fornix. BVP patients showed decreased gray matter volume in the bilateral parahippocampal gyri, right precentral gyrus, anterior cingulate gyrus, and right middle temporal gyrus and increased gray matter volume in the right superior frontal gyrus compared with controls. Correlation analyses showed rs-fMRI and clinical variables showed no significant result. DHI correlated negatively with anatomical connectivity in the bilateral frontal parahippocampal cingulum, corpus callosum, right inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, bilateral fornix, and gray matter volumes in the bilateral middle occipital gyri, right superior occipital gyrus, left angular gyrus, and right cuneus in BVP. VADL correlated negatively with Anatomical connectivity in the corpus callosum, bilateral fornix, bilateral cerebellum, bilateral superior and anterior thalamic radiation, right inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, bilateral fronto-parietal cingulum, right dentatoruburothalamic tract and gray matter volumes in the right angular gyri, bilateral parahippocampal gyri, right middle temporal gyrus, right cuneus, bilateral inferior occipital gyri, left middle occipital gyrus, right superior frontal gyrus, left fusiform gyrus, bilateral caudate, left cerebellar crus, and bilateral calcarine gyri in BVP. Conclusions: This study identified reductions in the volume of the hippocampus and alterations in functional and anatomical connectivity that concurs with previously established characteristics of BVP. The degree of disability can be inferred from the change in the connectivity and volume between vestibular cortical areas and their network.
ABSTRACT
Importance: Polygenic risk scores (PRSs), which aggregate the genetic effects of single-nucleotide variants identified in genome-wide association studies (GWASs), can help distinguish individuals at a high genetic risk for Alzheimer disease (AD). However, genetic studies have predominantly focused on populations of European ancestry. Objective: To evaluate the transferability of a PRS for AD in the Korean population using summary statistics from a prior GWAS of European populations. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study developed a PRS based on the summary statistics of a large-scale GWAS of a European population (the International Genomics of Alzheimer Project; 21â¯982 AD cases and 41â¯944 controls). This PRS was tested for an association with AD dementia and its related phenotypes in 1634 Korean individuals, who were recruited from 2013 to 2019. The association of a PRS based on a GWAS of a Japanese population (the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology; 3962 AD cases and 4074 controls) and a transancestry meta-analysis of European and Japanese GWASs was also evaluated. Data were analyzed from December 2020 to June 2021. Main Outcomes and Measures: Risk of AD dementia, amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), earlier symptom onset, and amyloid ß deposition (Aß). Results: A total of 1634 Korean patients (969 women [59.3%]), including 716 individuals (43.6%) with AD dementia, 222 (13.6%) with aMCI, and 699 (42.8%) cognitively unimpaired controls, were analyzed in this study. The mean (SD) age of the participants was 71.6 (9.0) years. Higher PRS was associated with a higher risk of AD dementia independent of APOE É4 status in the Korean population (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.40-2.72; P < .001). Furthermore, PRS was associated with aMCI, earlier symptom onset, and Aß deposition independent of APOE É4 status. The PRS based on a transancestry meta-analysis of data sets comprising 2 distinct ancestries showed a slightly improved accuracy. Conclusions and Relevance: In this cohort study, a PRS derived from a European GWAS identified individuals at a high risk for AD dementia in the Korean population. These findings emphasize the transancestry transferability and clinical value of PRSs and suggest the importance of enriching diversity in genetic studies of AD.

BACKGROUND: Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a prion disease characterized as a fatal transmissible neurodegenerative disorder. Dizziness is often the first presenting symptom of sCJD, but hearing loss as an early manifestation is very rare. CASE SUMMARY: A 76-year-old man presented with bilateral sudden hearing impairment and dizziness for 10 d. He was taking medications for hypertension and diabetes. He denied any difficulty with activities of daily living or hearing impairment before the onset of symptoms. Pure tone audiometry showed bilateral severe hearing impairment. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and laboratory tests were within normal limits. Given his diagnosis of sudden sensory hearing loss, the patient received corticosteroid treatment but it was ineffective. Two weeks later, he complained of aggravated gait impairment, disorientation, and cognitive impairment. Repeat brain MRI showed diffuse cortical high signal intensities on diffusion-weighted imaging. In cerebrospinal fluid analysis, the real-time quaking-induced conversion assay was positive, and 14-3-3 protein was detected in the by western blotting. Considering all the data, we diagnosed probable sCJD, and the patient's symptoms rapidly progressed into akinetic mutism. CONCLUSION: For patients with abrupt bilateral hearing impairment, especially in the elderly, various differential diagnoses, including sCJD, should be considered.
ABSTRACT
Background: Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a functional vestibular disorder that causes chronic dizziness interfering with daily activities. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has reportedly improved dizziness in patients with phobic postural vertigo in an open-label trial. However, no randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study has been conducted on its therapeutic efficacy in PPPD. Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of tDCS as an add-on treatment to pharmacotherapy in patients with PPPD. In addition, functional neuroimaging was used to identify the neural mechanisms underlying the effects of tDCS. Materials and Methods: In a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial, 24 patients diagnosed with PPPD were randomized to receive active (2 mA, 20 min) or sham tDCS to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), administered in 15 sessions over 3 weeks. The clinical measures that assess the severity of dizziness, depression, and anxiety were collected at baseline, immediate follow-up, 1-month follow-up, and 3-month follow-up. Adverse events were also observed. The effect of tDCS on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was evaluated with single photon emission tomography before and after tDCS sessions. Results: For the primary outcome measure of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) score, a significant main effect of time was found, but neither the treatment-by-time interaction effect nor the main effect of treatment was significant. For the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) score, there was a statistical significance for the treatment-by-time interaction effect and the main effect of time, but not for the main effect of treatment. However, the treatment-by-time interaction effect and the main effect of time on HDRS score appear to be due to one data point, an increase in depressive symptoms reported by the sham group at the 3-month follow-up. For the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale scores, there were no significant main effects of time, treatment, and treatment-by-time interaction. In a comparison with the changes in rCBF between the groups, a significant treatment-by-time interaction effect was found in the right superior temporal and left hippocampus, controlling for age and sex. Conclusion: Active tDCS was not found to be significantly more efficacious than sham tDCS on dizziness symptoms in patients with PPPD. It is conceivable that tDCS targeting the DLPFC may not be an optimal treatment option for reducing dizziness symptoms in PPPD. Our findings encourage further investigation on the effects of tDCS in PPPD, which considers different stimulation protocols in terms of stimulation site or the number of sessions.

ABSTRACT
Recent studies on the urine microbiome have highlighted the importance of the gut-vagina-bladder axis in recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI). In particular, the role of Gardnerella as a covert pathogen that activates E. coli in animal experiments has been reported. Herein, we conducted a human bladder microbiome study to investigate the effect of Gardnerella on rUTI. Urine 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing via transurethral catheterization was conducted in the normal control group (NC) (n = 18) and rUTI group (n = 78). The positive detection rate of Gardnerella species did not differ between the NC and rUTI groups (22.2% vs. 18.0%, p = 0.677). In addition, the Gardnerella-positive NC and Gardnerella-positive rUTI groups showed similar levels of microbiome diversity. The Gardnerella-positive group was categorized into three subgroups: the Escherichia-dominant group, Gardnerella-dominant group, and Lactobacillus-dominant group. All of the Escherichia-dominant groups were associated with rUTI. The Gardnerella-dominant or Lactobacillus-dominant groups expressed rUTI with symptoms when risk factors such as the degree of Gardnerella proliferation or causative agents of bacterial vaginosis were present. The presence of Gardnerella in the urine is considered to be related to rUTI depending on other risk factors. New guideline recommendations regarding antibiotic selection based on a novel method to detect the cause of rUTI may be required to reduce antibiotic resistance.
