What Can Quantitative Gait Analysis Tell Us about Dementia and Its Subtypes? A Structured Review [PDF]
, 2017 Distinguishing dementia subtypes can be difficult due to similarities in clinical presentation. There is increasing interest in discrete gait characteristics as markers to aid diagnostic algorithms in dementia.

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2019 Diffuse Lewy body disease, also called dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), is defined as progressive dementia and pathological Lewy bodies distributed in the central and autonomic nervous systems. The clinical features are dementia, cognitive fluctuations, visual hallucinations, parkinsonism, and REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD).

Phenoconversion from probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder to mild cognitive impairment to dementia in a population-based sample [PDF]
, 2017 © 2017 The Authors Introduction Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is strongly associated with synucleinopathies. In 2012, we reported an increased risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Parkinson disease (PD) in cognitively normal ...

Neuropathology, 1998 Diffuse Lewy body disease (DLBD) has been studied from various viewpoints and, although clinical diagnostic criteria for DLBD have been proposed, diagnosis remains difficult. DLBD has been reported to be the second most common form of dementia in the aged, following Alzheimer‐type dementia. It has, however, been clinically under‐diagnosed.

Revisiting protein aggregation as pathogenic in sporadic Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases. [PDF]
, 2019 The gold standard for a definitive diagnosis of Parkinson disease (PD) is the pathologic finding of aggregated α-synuclein into Lewy bodies and for Alzheimer disease (AD) aggregated amyloid into plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau into tangles.

A new visual rating scale for Ioflupane imaging in Lewy body disease
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2018 Background: Dopaminergic loss on 123I-Ioflupane brain imaging is a recognised biomarker for dementia with Lewy bodies. It is usually assessed using a visual rating scale developed for Parkinson's disease, which may not be optimal for dementia with Lewy ...

Hippocampal neuronal cells that accumulate α-synuclein fragments are more vulnerable to Aβ oligomer toxicity via mGluR5--implications for dementia with Lewy bodies. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundIn dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) abnormal interactions between α-synuclein (α-syn) and beta amyloid (Aβ) result in selective degeneration of neurons in the neocortex, limbic system and striatum.
