Innsbruck multiple system atrophy cohort study – An interim analysis
Objective: To characterize the clinical presentation, to identify markers of disease progression and to assess diagnostic utility of 'red flags' in subjects with multiple system…A polysomnography study of REM sleep without atonia and REM sleep behavior disorder in MSA and PD
Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a cross-sectional comparative analysis of quantitative REM sleep without atonia (RWA) and REM sleep behavior disorder…Understanding, predicting, and preventing falls in progressive supranuclear palsy
Objective: To (1) evaluate which factors are associated with increasing falls in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), unrelated to freezing; and (2) subsequently develop a predictive…Brain structural abnormalities in multiple system atrophy patients with cognitive impairment
Objective: To investigate the cerebral anatomical changes associated with cognitive impairment (CI) in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: Mild cognitive deficits are frequently reported in…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…
