Imaging-based differential diagnosis between multiple system atrophy and Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to directly compare middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP) width, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of the putamen and cerebellum, and 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial…Disease stage classification of the cerebellar variant of multiple system atrophy based on voxel-based morphometry
Objective: We previously reported that voxel-based morphometry (VBM) is effective for classifying the disease types causing cerebellar atrophy. In the present study, with the objective…Movement disorders in patients with Japanese encephalitis: Experience in a tertiary care hospital in north eastern region of India
Objective: Movement disorders in Japanese encephalitis is known, but under reported. In this study we tried to analyse the spectrum of movement disorders in patients…A novel phenotype of amyloid precursor protein (APP) mutation presenting with dementia, and symptoms of both progressive supranulcear palsy (PSP) and multisystem atrophy (MSA)
Objective: To describe the novel phenotype of a patient with an amyloid precursur protein (APP) mutation presenting with dementia and symptoms of both progressive supranulcear…Mild Parkinsonian signs and TIA/stroke
Objective: We aimed to determine if MPS increases TIA/stroke risk. Background: Mild Parkinsonian signs (MPS) are a syndrome of mild basal ganglia dysfunction characterized by…Treatment of lipopolysaccharide-induced parkinsonism
Objective: This single case report of levodopa-responsive parkinsonism, caused by an accidental systemic contamination with 10 microgram lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Salmonella minnesota, describes the treatment…Targeting TLR4 for disease modification in multiple system atrophy: Experimental evidence
Objective: To assess the efficacy of toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) agonists to ameliorate the functional and neuropathological phenotype of a transgenic mouse model of multiple system…Progression of microglial activation and neuroinflammatory responses in a transgenic mouse model of multiple system atrophy
Objective: Our aim was to characterize the progression of microglial activation during disease progression in a transgenic mouse model of multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background:…Deep brain stimulation may lead to dramatic worsening of slowly progressive multiple system atrophy: A clinico-pathological series and review of the literature
Objective: The aim of the present study is to describe one of the largest series of histologically proven multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients, who underwent…Imaging correlates of hypodipsia in progressive supranuclear palsy
Objective: Aims of the present study were• to confirm hypodipsia as a characteristic feature of PSP and• to offer hypothesis on the pathological substrate for…
