Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial
Atrophy rates of entorhinal cortex in AD and normal aging.
To explore the atrophy rate of entorhinal cortex (ERC) in AD and normal aging and assess the value of rate measurement of ERC atrophy for classifying subjects with AD from cognitively normal (CN) control subjects. ⋯ ERC volume loss over time may be a better indicator for AD than cross-sectional measurements.

To assess the incidence and predictive factors of early and late seizures after ischemic stroke in young adults. ⋯ Epilepsy is rarely a major problem in young cryptogenic ischemic stroke survivors. Early seizures are associated with stroke disability and cortical involvement. Early seizures, cortical signs, and large infarct are independent risk factors for late seizures.
