Vascular-mechanical etiology

Vascular Mechanical Etiology enters the Adult Cognitive Disease corpus through the work of T Kumar (submission 98), and is indexed here as one of the concepts that submission puts to work.

The argument it belongs to

T Kumar's submission is summarised in this corpus as:

AD is a complex, multifactorial disease whose interlinked etiologies — amyloid, the cholinergic deficit, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and declining estrogen — converge on reduced acetylcholine and neurodegeneration. Because single-target drugs (AChE inhibitors, NMDA antagonists, anti-amyloid agents) have failed, the paper argues the cause of AD is best inferred from its cure and advocates a multi-drug, multi-target polytherapy. It proposes the Ayurvedic formulation medharasayana — Shankhpushpi, Mandukaparni (Centella asiatica), Brahmi, turmeric/curcumin, and Ashwagandha — as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and neuroregenerative agents acting simultaneously across those pathways.

Where it sits

The submission scores against the framework's convergence nodes as: compensatory paradigm 1 · neuroimmune interface 1.

Named by the same submission

3 other concepts enter the corpus through the same paper, so they cover adjacent ground: Gravity-dependent brain perfusion · Head-down time hypothesis · Sleep posture and brain maintenance.

Assembled from the corpus rather than written: the summary is quoted from the submission that named it; the node scores are read from its dossier. It has not yet been expanded into an article.
