What activities increase the risk of falling in atypical parkinsonian syndromes? A comparative study with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine balance confidence (FoF) in patients with PD and APS by utilizing the 16-items Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC-16), and identify specific activities…Assessment of CSF biomarkers clinical value in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Objective: To evaluate diagnostic and prognostic usefulness of a panel of CSF biomarkers in PSP patients presenting with Richardson’s Syndrome (RS). Background: PSP is a…Midbrain Diameter Measurements on High-Resolution Computer Tomography Scans to aid diagnosis of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Objective: To establish whether high-resolution computer tomography (CT) scans can aid the diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: The…Peripheral immune activation was associated with multiple system atrophy
Objective: Our aim is to clarify the correlations between peripheral immune activation and the prevalence as well as the disease severity of MSA. Background: Alpha-synuclein…Disease progression and survival of multiple system atrophy: A prospective French cohort study
Objective: We report the first prospective natural history study of MSA combining progression of the disease and mortality. Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a…The clinical spectrum of motor stereotypies in progressive supranuclear palsy: An early, frequent and underestimated symptom
Objective: To describe the frequency, phenomenology, and clinical and neuropsychological correlates of stereotypies in PSP. Background: Stereotypies are repetitive, patterned and predictable purposeless movements. Unlike…Deep brain stimulation in a patient with Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 presenting as Parkinson’s disease: A case report
Objective: The role of subthalamic nucleus - deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) is well established in medically refractory Parkinson's disease. But the efficacy of DBS surgery…18F-FDG PET brain in Parkinsonism
Objective: To determine if 18F-FDG PET can differentiate Parkinson's Disease from Parkinson's-Plus syndromes Background: Parkinsonism is a clinical syndrome of tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural…Prevalence of REM sleep behavior disorder and sleep-disordered breathing in multiple system atrophy: A meta-analysis
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD), stridor, sleep-disordered breathing and periodic limb movements in sleep…Effects of multi-session repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on performance of motor control and dynamics of spontaneous brain activity in multiple system atrophy
Objective: To explore the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on performance of motor control and dynamics of spontaneous brain activity in multiple system…
