Time‐Continuous Prognostic Mapping of Bell's Palsy Using Yanagihara Scores and Electroneurography

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study developed a novel, time‐continuous prognostic mapping for Bell's palsy by integrating longitudinal Yanagihara scores and electroneurography in patients treated with high‐dose corticosteroids. By employing a Bayesian probabilistic approach, this model enables individualized recovery estimation at any clinical time point, overcoming the ...

Discordance of Dopaminergic Dysfunction and Subcortical Atrophy by α‐Synuclein Status in Sporadic and Genetic Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by predominantly neuronal α‐synuclein pathology and dopaminergic dysfunction. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seeding amplification assays (SAA) detect α‐synuclein aggregates in vivo, but not all patients with PD have a positive SAA.
