IRIS è il sistema di gestione della ricerca dell’Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca.Il repository BOA è il modulo del sistema dedicato alla raccolta e alla disseminazione della produzione scientifica di Ateneo. Le pubblicazioni sono ricercabili per parola chiave attraverso il box nella barra orizzontale in alto oppure, mediante il pulsante Sfoglia, per "Afferenza", "Autore", "Titolo", "Tipologia" o "Settore scientifico-disciplinare".
IRIS contiene inoltre alcuni moduli dedicati alla registrazione dei progetti e dei contratti, e alla reportistica avanzata per le attività di valutazione della ricerca
EnglishIntroduction: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-ri) is a disease subtype characterized by rapidly progressive cognitive decline, seizures, headaches, T2-hyperintense MRI lesions, and neuropathologic evidence of CAA-associated vascular inflammation. CAA-ri is an important diagnosis to reach in clinical practice, as many patients respond to immunosuppressive therapy. Definitive diagnosis of CAA-ri generally requires brain biopsy, however, highlighting the importance of developing noninvasive diagnostic criteria. Objectives: To test the sensitivity and specificity of modified criteria (Table 1) for possible and probable CAA-ri in groups of subjects with histologically proven CAA-ri and non-CAA-ri. Methods: After refining previously proposed clinical- radiological criteria we retrospectively analyzed clinical charts and MRI FLAIR and gradient-echo scans obtained from 17 subjects with pathologically confirmed CAA-ri and 37 control subjects with pathologic diagnosis of non-inflammatory CAA. The control group was further divided into those with past intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) (n=21) and those with cerebral microbleeds (CMB) only and no history of ICH (n=16). Results: In the CAA-ri group 14/17 (82.4%) met criteria for both probable and possible CAA-ri. One (4.7%) of the subjects in the control CAA-ICH group (n=21) met the criteria for possible and none met criteria for probable CAA-ri. In the control CAA-no ICH group 1/16 (6.25%) and 11/16 (68.75%) met criteria for probable and possible CAA-ri respectively. This yields sensitivity and specificity of 82% and of 97.3% respectively for the probable criteria and sensitivity and specificity of 82% and 67.6% respectively for the possible criteria. Conclusions: Our data suggest that a reliable diagnosis of CAA-ri can be reached from basic clinical and radiographic information alone with good sensitivity and excellent specificity.
