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…Composite autonomic symptom scale-31 (COMPASS-31) is useful for evaluation of autonomic dysfunction in patients with parkinsonism
Objective: To investigate the usefulness of composite autonomic symptom scale 31 (COMPASS-31) in patients with parkinsonism by comparing COMPASS-31 between PD and MSA patients, and…Disease stage classification of the cerebellar variant of multiple system atrophy based on voxel-based morphometry
Objective: We previously reported that voxel-based morphometry (VBM) is effective for classifying the disease types causing cerebellar atrophy. In the present study, with the objective…Atypical Parkinsonian disorders: Insights for a differential diagnosis through the analysis of oculomotor profile in MSA, PSP and CBD patients
Objective: To determine peculiar changes in oculomotor profile that may help in distinguishing atypical parkinsonism with overlapping clinical features. Background: Atypical Parkinsonian disorders (APDs) include…The score changes of clinical symptom assessment scales for multiple system atrophy in 2-3 years
Objective: To examine the extent of disease progression for multiple system atrophy (MSA) during relatively long duration. Background: The knowledge of MSA natural history is…Creative thinking and parkinsonism: Preliminary clinical data on the role of frontal area
Objective: To evaluate divergent thinking (DT) by means of Abbreviated Torrance Test for Adults (ATTA) in Parkinsonism (PKS) with different deficit in cognitive functions. Background:…Early stridor onset predicts survival in multiple system atrophy
Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of stridor and of its latency of onset in a cohort of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) patients referred to…Deceleration capacity of heart rate indicates autonomic dysfunction in patients with PSP
Objective: The study focuses on assessing cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in patients with different atypical Parkinsonian syndromes compared to healthy controls using the heart rate deceleration…Cerebral vasoreactivity in Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy: A pilot study
Objective: To compare cerebral vasoreactivity in Parkinson´s disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients with or without cardiovascular autonomic failure (CAF). Background: CAF is…Prevalence and characterisation of vocal fold motion impairment (VFMI) in patients with multiple system atrophy
Objective: Our objective was to describe the characteristics of vocal fold motion impairments (VFMI) in MSA and to determine whether they had a diagnostic and…
