Management of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder in patients with Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Among all of the devastating effects that Parkinson’s disease (PD) has on an individual, sleep dysfunction is one that can have a profound effect on the entire family of the patient. The most potentially destructive of these sleep syndromes being that of

Ectopic localization of FOXO3a protein in Lewy bodies in Lewy body dementia and Parkinson's disease
Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites constitute the cardinal neuropathological features of both Parkinson's disease (PD) and Lewy body dementia (LBD). Whereas α-synuclein has been found to be the major component of the Lewy body, the mechanisms by which neurons

Lewy body disease and dementia with Lewy bodies
In 1976 we reported our first autopsied case with diffuse Lewy body disease (DLBD), the term of which we proposed in 1984. We also proposed the term "Lewy body disease" (LBD) in 1980. Subsequently, we classified LBD into three types according to the distribution pattern of Lewy bodies: a brain stem type, a transitional type and a diffuse type.

Neuropsychiatric disturbances in atypical Parkinsonian disorders [PDF]
Multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) are the most common atypical parkinsonisms. These disorders are characterized by varying combinations of autonomic, cerebellar and pyramidal system ...

LRRK2 as a Potential Disease‐Modifying Target in Sporadic Parkinson's Disease
Abstract A growing understanding of the role that leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) plays in Parkinson's disease (PD) supports continued focus on this enzyme as a therapeutic target for PD. Accumulating evidence suggests that there are phenotypic, neuropathologic, and biological similarities between sporadic PD (sPD) and familial forms in which ...

Visuo-cognitive skill deficits in Alzheimer′s disease and Lewy body disease: A comparative analysis
Dementia is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive loss. Alzheimer′s disease (AD) and the Lewy body disease are the two most common causes of age-related degenerative dementia. Visuo-cognitive skills are a combination

Tau protein, A beta 42 and S-100B protein in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with dementia with Lewy bodies [PDF]
The intra vitam diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is still based on clinical grounds. So far no technical investigations have been available to support this diagnosis.

Abstract Background The activation of the NOD‐, LRR‐ and pyrin domain‐containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and associated immune dysregulation is one of the key pathological processes preceding and accompanying α‐synuclein pathology, neuronal damage, and cell death in Parkinson's disease (PD).

Bipolar Disorder as a Long‐Term Risk Factor for Parkinson's Disease: A Nationwide Case–Control Study
Abstract Background Previous studies suggest an association between bipolar disorder (BD) and an increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD), but the long‐term temporal relationship remains unclear. Particularly, it is unclear whether the risk of PD is influenced by the duration since BD diagnosis.
