Brain Imaging Changes Following Deep Brain Stimulation Patients with Parkinson's Disease: A Literature Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Structural brain changes, including atrophy in the midbrain, basal ganglia, and cortical regions such as the frontal and temporal lobes, are observed in advanced stages.

Alzheimer's Biomarkers and Visuospatial Cognition in Parkinson's Disease: Modification by α‐Synuclein and Mediation of Age Effects

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Visuospatial deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD) often precede dementia and complicate daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology and α‐synuclein aggregation frequently co‐occur in PD, but their combined impact on cognition is unclear.

Visual Hallucinations in PD and Lewy Body Dementias: Old and New Hypotheses

Behavioural Neurology, 2013
Visual Hallucinations (VH) are a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and the Lewy body dementias (LBD) of Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD) and Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB).

Lewy body disease and dementia with Lewy bodies

Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, 2014
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.

Mind the Gap: Predictors of Osteoporosis Treatment Following Fragility Fracture in Parkinsonism

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fracture risk is increased in Parkinson's yet this risk is often not addressed. Objectives Our objective was to study the extent to which osteoporosis was treated, and predictors of treatment in a large representative cohort with parkinsonism.

Enteral Nutrition in Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease and Atypical Parkinsonism: A Systematic Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dysphagia and malnutrition are common in advanced Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonism. There is a lack of evidence to guide the use of enteral nutrition in these situations, including whether it improves survival or reduces aspiration pneumonia.

A rare case of early onset lewy body dementia with parkinsonism associated with chronic exposure to copper contaminated drinking water

Frontiers in Toxicology
There is a well-recognized relationship between a person’s body burden of essential trace elements such as copper and their neurological function in which both deficiencies and exposures to excessive concentrations are associated with adverse clinical ...

Cardiac MIBG Scintigraphy in Neurodegenerative Parkinsonism: Limitations in Clinical Practice

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Reduced cardiac uptake on 123Iodine‐metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy is a valuable tool for differentiating neurodegenerative parkinsonism but interpretation can be difficult due to comorbidities and drug‐tracer interactions.

Tracking Genetic Parkinson's Disease with Molecular Imaging: A Systematic Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a worldwide, complex neurodegenerative disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Around 15–20% of PD cases are linked to genetic mutations, providing insights into the disease's pathogenesis.

Sudden Death: An Uncommon Occurrence in Dementia with Lewy Bodies

Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2016
We present a 75-year-old woman with dementia and parkinsonism who developed severe orthostatic hypotension and eventually died. Autopsy revealed extensive Lewy body formation in the midbrain, limbic system, intermediate spinal cord, and medulla oblongata.
