Non-invasive imaging markers of iron accumulation in Multiple System Atrophy
Objective: To define the localization and extent of iron accumulation in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: Elevated iron concentration in the basal ganglia has been…Novel PLA2G6 Mutation Presenting as Early-Onset Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To report a case of a novel mutation in the PLA2G6 gene resulting in early-onset Parkinson’s Disease. Background: The phospholipase A2 group VI (PLA2G6)…Intrasubject subcortical quantitative referencing to make quantitative MRI sensitive to Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess the changes in R2* occurring in PD patients compared to controls, a multicenter transversal study was carried out in a large cohort of…Aceruloplasminemia Presenting as Huntington’s Disease –Look –Alike with Unique MRI Features
Objective: To report case of generalised chorea due to aceruloplasminemia caused by novel mutation in the CP gene Background: Aceruloplasminemia is a type of Neurodegeneration…Complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia like presentation of homozygous c.2222G>A mutation in PLA2G6
Objective: To describe three cases of complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia (cHSP) like presentation in PLA2G6. Background: PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PLAN) is a complex group of neurodegenerative…MRI findings in a 65-year old female with movement disorder
Objective: We reported a 65-year-old woman presented with dysarthria, chorea, facial and neck dystonia. Background: Aceruloplasminemia is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive neurodegeneration,…Effect of P2X4 Signal Axis on Iron Metabolism in Parkinson’s Disease Animal Model
Objective: To elucidate the effect of P2X4 signal axis on iron metabolism in substantia nigra（SN）of male rats with Parkinson's disease（PD）successfully induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). Background:…Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping for Differential Diagnosis of Degenerative Parkinsonisms: A Comparison with Morphometric Indexes
Objective: To use a multimodal MRI approach for differential diagnosis of patients with degenerative parkinsonisms, comparing the diagnostic accuracy of Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) data…Iron Imaging as a Diagnostic Tool for Parkinson’s Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Objective: We performed a systematic meta-analysis of SN iron imaging studies in PD to better understand the role of iron-sensitive MRI quantification to distinguish patients…Safety of Iron Chelation in Patients with Brain Iron Overload
Objective: To assess the safety of iron chelation in the treatment of regional brain iron overload. Background: Excess brain iron is evident in neurodegenerative diseases…
