Multimodal voxel-based analysis of the infratentorial brain region in Richardson’s syndrome, progressive supranuclear palsy-parkinsonism, Parkinson variant of multiple system atrophy and Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Voxel-based analysis was applied to MRI parameters of iron content (transverse relaxation rate, R2*), microstructural integrity including mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA)…Prevalence and incidence of PSP and CBS: A new prospective study in the UK
Objective: To estimate the prevalence and incidence of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP, 'Richardson's syndrome') and corticobasal syndromes (CBS); in the context of all clinical phenotypes…Clinicopathological characteristics of co-existant Parkinson’s disease and corticobasal degeneration: A case study
Objective: Parkinsonism is characterized by bradykinesia, rigidity, rest tremor, and postural instability. The most common cause of parkinsonism is Parkinson's disease (PD) and, rarely, Parkinson-plus…Greater incidence of depressive symptoms in atypical parkinsonism: Importance of early screening
Objective: To evaluate the incidence of depressive symptoms in Parkinsonian patients in a large cohort followed at a tertiary movement disorders center. Background: Despite relative…"Atypical" atypical parkinsonism
Objective: To look for additional “atypical“ features in a cohort of patients with a referring diagnosis of a certain atypical parkinsonism using the current diagnostic…Can deep brain stimulation implantation cause multiple system atrophy? A retrospective review of MSA patients
Objective: To evaluate whether implantation of deep brain stimulation (DBS) could lead to multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: Recent studies regarding the transmissibility of alpha-synuclein…Comparative analysis of freezing of gait in distinct parkinsonism types by diffusion tensor imagining and cognitive profiles
Objective: To demonstrate possible disturbances in pedinculopontine nucleus (PPN) and its connections in freezing of gait (FOG) by DTI in conjunction with the cognitive profile.…MicroRNA as diagnostic biomarkers in Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy
Objective: In this study, we aimed to 1) perform miRNA profiling in CSF and subsequent 2) validate biomarker potential of differentially expressed miRs in (different)…Multiple system atrophy: A comparison between clinical subtypes
Objective: To evaluate the cognitive impairment and sleep disturbances in subtype MSA-P versus MSA-C. Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of…Valproate-induced reversible parkinsonism – A case series
Objective: To describe a case series of valproate (VPA)-induced parkinsonism and increase awareness for this condition. Background: VPA as a cause of parkinsonism has been…
