| | Sometimes I hear neurologists say that the small “hyperintense” MRI lesions can be due to vascular or embolic phenomena (tiny blood clots or strokes), and this explanation is consistent with the reduced blood flow seen on studies. | | | For those persons with severe CFS persisting for more than five years, the likelihood of recovery is slim. | | | I would feel that the results mentioned above are linked to the poor prognosis seen in many of the CFS long term studies. |

| | As a result, the Board concludes that there is no basis upon which to grant an increased rating at this time. | | | After examination, the diagnosis was Parkinson's disease, probably secondary to cerebrovascular arteriosclerosis; chronic progressive dementia, secondary to cerebral atrophy such as in Alzheimer's disease; moderate generalized anxiety disorder with depression; status post cranio-cerebral injury with history of head trauma 1942 to 1945; and chronic tension headaches. | | | The record reflects that the veteran's psychiatric disorder had stabilized prior to a stroke he experienced in the 1970's and that any increase in severity in the veteran's anxiety/organic brain syndrome is due to intervening conditions, such as a stroke, Parkinson's disease and cerebral atrophy, rather than being related to the original in-service injury. |

| | Atrophy measures will lead to a better understanding of MS pathology and will have important implications for disease prognosis, and monitoring treatment effect in clinical trials. | | | In as much as progressive brain atrophy represents irreversible brain damage and tissue loss, a metric of brain atrophy is a powerful surrogate for the accumulated burden of disease. | | | However, recent evidence demonstrates that axonal damage, and cerebral atrophy also occur to a significant extent, even early in the disease. |
