Dementia in Parkinson's Disease Correlates with α-Synuclein Pathology but Not with Cortical Astrogliosis

Parkinson's Disease, 2012
Dementia is a common feature in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and is considered to be the result of limbic and cortical Lewy bodies and/or Alzheimer changes.

Psychotropic medication use among community dwellers with and without Parkinson's disease – A nationwide cohort study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims We studied the prevalence of psychotropic use and psychotropic polypharmacy in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) during a 10‐year follow‐up, because longitudinal studies on this topic are scarce although non‐motor symptoms of PD are often treated with psychotropics.

A Systematic Review on Disease‐Modifying Therapies in Parkinsonian Disorders

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Parkinsonian disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, multiple system atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy, are progressive neurodegenerative conditions with no treatment options to slow disease progression. This systematic review provides an overview of evidence of disease‐modifying therapies that have been evaluated in ...

Retinal and Cortical Visual Processing Dysfunction in a Case of Mild Cognitive Impairment with Lewy Bodies: A Case Report

Journal of Alzheimer's Disease Reports
The prodromal stage of Lewy body dementia includes a mild cognitive impairment with visual processing and/or attention-executive deficits. A clinical presentation with progressive visual loss is indeed seldom reported and can be misleading with a ...

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 ...

Case Report: Lewy body dementia with unusual psychotic symptoms, atypically late parkinsonism, and patient sensitivity to first generation antipsychotics

Frontiers in Psychiatry
Lewy body dementia is associated with abnormal eosinophilic A-synuclein neural inclusions (Lewy bodies) in the brain. It is a neurodegenerative illness—and the second most common type of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease—that causes memory loss and ...

An iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis reveals dysregulation of neocortical synaptopodin in Lewy body dementias

Molecular Brain, 2017
Lewy body dementias are the second most common cause of neurodegenerative dementia in the elderly after Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The two clinical subgroups of Lewy body dementias, namely, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson’s disease dementia (

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.

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 ...

Sex differences for regional pathology in people with a high likelihood of Lewy body dementia phenotype based on underlying pathology

Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring
Introduction Clinicopathological correlations differ by sex in Lewy body dementia (LBD). However, previous studies have focused on pathological staging systems that place less emphasis on regional pathologies.
