Imaging-based differential diagnosis between multiple system atrophy and Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to directly compare middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP) width, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of the putamen and cerebellum, and 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial…Cognitive impairment in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy and multiple system atrophy
Objective: Assessment, description and mutual comparison of cognitive impairment in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: In most recent…The Catalan multiple system atrophy-registry (CMSAR)
Objective: To collect comprehensive and standardized clinical data and to create a repository of biological samples and cell lines from probable and possible MSA patients…Association or causation? Orthostatic hypotension and cognitive impairment in α-synucleinopathies: A systematic review
Objective: To systematically review the literature for evidence of an association between orthostatic hypotension (OH) and cognitive impairment (CI) in α-synucleinopathies and to discuss possible…Unusual phenotype of pathologically confirmed progressive supranuclear palsy with autonomic dysfunction and cerebellar ataxia
Objective: To report two cases of patients with unusual manifestation of pathologically confirmed PSP. Background: Based on the results of recent multicenter clinical-pathological studies, it…Hand skin temperature and its response to cooling in clinical differentiation of multiple system atrophy and Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the value of testing hand temperature and its response to cooling for differential diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA) versus Parkinson's disease…Anti-GAD antibody cerebellar ataxia mimicking multiple system atrophy
Objective: To describe a case of anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GAD-Abs)-associated cerebellar ataxia (CA), which presented with gradual dysautonomia and parkinsonism fulfilling criteria for MSA,…MRI-supported diagnosis of multiple system atrophy: Implications for clinical trials
Objective: To assess whether MSA-specific MRI changes predict a more rapid clinical decline in a cohort of patients with a clinical diagnosis of MSA. Background:…Esophageal involvement in multiple system atrophy
Objective: To determine the prevalence of esophageal involvement and its impact on clinical manifestations in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: Secondary motor disorders…Subjective report does not predict objective swallow impairment in atypical Parkinsonian syndromes
Objective: Swallow and speech disturbances are common in patients with atypical parkinsonism. The emergence of swallowing problems, or dysphagia, is associated with increased morbidity and…
