"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…Dat-SPECT in multiple system atrophy (MSA)
Objective: To evaluate the extent of degeneration in dopamine nerve terminal in striatum with the patients with MSA, and compared between subtypes and disease duration…Chronic acquired hepatocerebral degeneration: Efficacy of liver transplatation in 10 patients
Objective: To determine the effect of liver transplantation (LT) on neurological symptoms in patients with chronic acquired hepatocerebral degeneration (CAHD). Background: CAHD is a rare…Theta burst repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in a case with cortical-basal ganglionic degeneration
Objective: Corticobasal ganglionic degeneration (CBGD) is a progressive taupathy involving frontal and parietal cortices as well as basal ganglia. The disease is clinically characterized by…PROSPECT: A UK-based longitudinal observational study of PSP, CBD, MSA and atypical parkinsonism syndromes
Objective: To aid the development of curative treatments, we need to develop better methods for diagnosing Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD) and Multiple…
