White Matter Lesions and Cognitive Impairment as Silent Cerebral Disease in Hypertension by Cristina Sierra, Antonio Coca

“…Correlations between cerebral white matter lesions and elevated blood pressure provide indirect evidence that structural and functional changes in the brain over time may lead to lowered cognitive functioning when blood pressure control is poor or lacking.Some authors have suggested that the presence of white matter lesions in hypertensive patients could be considered an early marker of brain damage.…”

Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Melatonin in Secondary Traumatic Brain Injury by Mariusz Sieminski, Michalina Reimus, Maria Kałas, Ewelina Stępniewska

“…As TBI is a significant cause of mortality and chronic disability, with high social costs all over the world, any form of therapy that may mitigate trauma-evoked brain damage is desirable. Melatonin, a sleep–wake-cycle-regulating neurohormone, exerts strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and is well tolerated when used as a drug. …”
