Early Freezing of Gait: Atypical versus Typical Parkinson Disorders
In 18 months, 850 patients were referred to Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center (MAPC). Among them, 810 patients had typical Parkinson disease (PD) and 212 had PD for ≤5 years. Among the 212 patients with early PD, 27 (12.7%) had freezing of gait (FOG).

Multi-modal rehabilitation therapy in Parkinson's disease and related disorders
Long-term use of dopaminergic therapy in Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with reduction in efficacy and disabling dyskinesias. The current medical or surgical treatment modalities are ineffective for atypical parkinsonism syndromes.

PLA2G6 Mutations Related to Distinct Phenotypes: A New Case with Early-onset Parkinsonism
Background: PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PLAN) is a recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by three distinct phenotypes: infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD), atypical neuroaxonal dystrophy (atypical NAD), and PLA2G6-related ...

Clinical Variability of SYNJ1-Associated Early-Onset Parkinsonism
Autosomal recessive early-onset parkinsonism is clinically and genetically heterogeneous. Mutations of three genes, PRKN, PINK1, and DJ-1 cause pure phenotypes usually characterized by levodopa-responsive Parkinson's disease.

New insights into atypical parkinsonism [PDF]
Atypical parkinsonian disorders (APDs) comprise a heterogenous group of disorders including multiple system atrophy (MSA), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). Based on literature published in 2010, we here review recent advances in the APD field.Genome-wide association studies have ...

Background Atypical parkinsonian syndromes are highly prevalent in the French West Indies (FWI), making up 70% of degenerative parkinsonisms and including “Caribbean Atypical Parkinsonism”. Environmental neurotoxins from Annonaceae plants are implicated.

Sleep Disorders in Atypical Parkinsonism [PDF]
AbstractSleep disorders are commonly observed in atypical parkinsonism, with particular disorders occurring more frequently in specific parkinsonian disorders. Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a synucleinopathy often associated with nocturnal stridor, which is a serious, but treatable, condition highly specific to MSA.

Effectiveness of an Inpatient Movement Disorders Program for Patients with Atypical Parkinsonism
This paper investigated the effectiveness of an inpatient movement disorders program for patients with atypical parkinsonism, who typically respond poorly to pharmacologic intervention and are challenging to rehabilitate as outpatients.

Summary: Background: Development of valid, non-invasive biomarkers for parkinsonian syndromes is crucially needed. We aimed to assess whether non-invasive diffusion-weighted MRI can distinguish between parkinsonian syndromes using an automated imaging ...

Inflammation biomarker discovery in Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonisms [PDF]
Abstract Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonisms (APD) have overlapping symptoms challenging an early diagnosis. Diagnostic accuracy is important because PD and APD have different prognosis and response to treatment. We aimed to identify diagnostic inflammatory biomarkers of PD and APD in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using ...
