Parkinson’s disease and progressive dysphagia – consider myasthenia gravis
Objective: We report on three consecutive patients with Parkinson’s disease, in whom myasthenia gravis turned out responsible for progressive dysphagia. Background: Swallowing dysfunction is common…Clean intermittent catheterization in Parkinson’s disease: a case report
Objective: Describe the interdisciplinary actions that resulted in the therapeutic indication of a clean intermittent bladder catheterization in a patient with detrusor areflexia related to…Phasic activity during non REM sleep
Objective: To describe the first reported case of behavioral and phasic neurophysiological activity during slow-wave sleep (SWS) in a patient with symtomatic REM sleep behavior…Impact of Duopa™ on Non-Motor Symptoms of Parkinson’s Patients with Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: To report the role and impact of Duopa on non-motor Parkinsonian symptoms in patients with deep brain stimulation within a month from starting therapy.…Tongue Strength in PSP
Objective: To describe anterior and posterior tongue elevation strength in participants with PSP Background: It is widely recognized that the tongue plays a critical role…Predictors of cognitive impairment in multiple system atrophy
Objective: To determine predictors of cognitive impairment in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: Although dementia is not a diagnostic criteria for MSA, an…REM sleep behavior disorder: Is it useful to differentiate between Parkinson disease and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy?
Objective: To determine the prevalence of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) in autopsy confirmed Parkinson disease (PD) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP).…The clinical phenotype of progressive supranuclear gaze palsy with predominant cerebellar ataxia (PSP-C): a case series
Objective: To report a case series of 4 patients with the PSP-C phenotype. Background: Ataxia is an exclusion criteria for the diagnosis of PSP. PSP-C,…Tyrosine kinase inhibition clears Tau and reserves neuropathology and motor symptoms in a novel model of progressive supranuclear palsy
Objective: Our objective was to examine the effects of tau accumulation in transgenic mice, observing both motor function and behavior. Background: Tau hyper-phosphorylation is a…Which clinical features predict progressive supranuclear palsy pathology? A clinicopathological study on 437 autopsy cases and a literature review
