Is Cell Death Primary or Secondary in the Pathophysiology of Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease?

Biomolecules, 2015
Currently, the pathophysiology of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease is explained by a loss of mainly dopaminergic nerve cells that causes a neurotransmitter deficiency.

Serum NfL, GFAP, and p‐tau217 in adults with drug‐resistant epilepsy and intellectual disabilities: Signs of ongoing neural injury

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Adults with epilepsy and intellectual disabilities (IDs) may be at increased risk of dementia, but clinical evaluation is complex and use of conventional biomarkers is often considered too invasive. We explored abnormality of serum neurofilament light chain (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and phosphorylated tau‐217 (p ...

Lewy Body Dementias [PDF]

Continuum, 2016
This article provides an overview of the clinical features, neuropathologic findings, diagnostic criteria, and management of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson disease dementia (PDD), together known as the Lewy body dementias.DLB and PDD are common, clinically similar syndromes that share characteristic neuropathologic changes, including ...

The We‐Relationship as a Key to Addressing Dementia‐Related Ambiguous Loss

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pauline Boss describes the challenges faced by people caring for family members with dementia in terms of ambiguous loss – a condition in which the physical presence of the person with dementia coexists with their psychological absence. This article proposes the concept of we‐relationship as a key to addressing dementia‐related ambiguous loss.

Prediction of Co-Occurrence of Lewy Body Disease with Alzheimer’s Disease

Journal of Alzheimer's Disease Reports
Identifying the coexistence of Lewy body (LB) pathology with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in clinical practice is important in the era of anti-amyloid-β antibody therapy. However, few studies have predicted the presence of comorbid LB pathology with AD using

Alpha‐Synuclein Promotes Anterograde Vesicle Transport in Melanocytes and Melanoma Cells: A Pro‐Survival Function

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Model for how α‐syn modulates the positioning of endolysosomes in melanoma cells. (a) α‐syn tethers endolysosomes to the plasma membrane, a last step in anterograde transport. (b) Loss of α‐syn expression causes the loss of the tethering function, which leads to perinuclear vesicle clustering. Reproduced from the open access article.

Mapping Neurodegenerative Changes in Clinically Uncertain Parkinsonian Syndrome Patients Using Fast MR Spin TomogrAphy in Time‐Domain (MR‐STAT) Relaxometry at 3T

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background MR Spin TomogrAphy in Time‐domain (MR‐STAT) enables accelerated multiparametric relaxometry (T1/T2). Previous relaxometry studies predominantly compared Parkinson's disease patients with healthy controls (HC). The potential of relaxometry to distinguish neurodegenerative from non‐neurodegenerative parkinsonism in clinically ...

Lewy and his inclusion bodies: Discovery and rejection

Dementia & Neuropsychologia
Fritz Jacob Heinrich Lewy described the pathology of Paralysis agitans [Parkinson disease] and was the first to identify eosinophilic inclusion bodies in neurons of certain brain nuclei, later known as Lewy bodies, the pathological signature of the Lewy ...

Relation of neuropathology with cognitive decline among older persons without dementia

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2013
Objective: Although it is now widely accepted that dementia has a long preclinical phase during which neuropathology accumulates and cognition declines, little is known about the relation of neuropathology with the longitudinal rate of change in ...
