Asymmetrical putaminal atrophy in parkinsonism-predominant multiple system atrophy (MSA-P): A case report

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
We encountered a case of multiple system atrophy parkinsonian subtype (MSA-P) with right-dominant parkinsonism in the early stage of the disease. Atrophy of the posterolateral putamen and iron deposition are the neuropathological hallmark of MSA-P ...

A lipid nanoparticle-based oligodendrocyte-specific mRNA therapy

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids
Despite the wide range of applications of mRNA therapies, major difficulties exist in the efficient delivery of mRNA into oligodendrocytes, a type of glial cell in the brain. Commonly used viral vectors are not efficient in transforming oligodendrocytes.

Dystonia in multiple system atrophy [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2002
To delineate the frequency and nature of dystonia in multiple system atrophy (MSA).A cohort of 24 patients with clinically probable MSA over the past 10 years were prospectively followed up. Motor features were either dominated by parkinsonism (MSA-P subtype, n=18) or cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C, n=6). Classification of dystonic features and their changes

External anal sphincter electromyography in multiple system atrophy: implications for diagnosis, clinical correlations, and novel insights into prognosis

Neural Regeneration Research, 2023
Multiple system atrophy is a sporadic, progressive, adult-onset, neurodegenerative disorder characterized by autonomic dysfunction symptoms, parkinsonian features, and cerebellar signs in various combinations.

Fibril-seeded animal models of synucleinopathies: Pathological mechanisms, disease modeling, and therapeutic implications

Neuroscience Research
Accumulating evidence suggests that prion-like spread of misfolded α-Synuclein (αSyn) underlies the pathological progression of Lewy body diseases (LBD).

Diagnosis of multiple system atrophy [PDF]

Autonomic Neuroscience, 2018
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) may be difficult to distinguish clinically from other disorders, particularly in the early stages of the disease. An autonomic-only presentation can be indistinguishable from pure autonomic failure. Patients presenting with parkinsonism may be misdiagnosed as having Parkinson disease.

Impact of α-synuclein fibril structure on seeding activity in experimental models of Parkinson’s disease

npj Parkinson's Disease
The central pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease involves the misfolding and aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn). There is a widespread belief that α-syn can propagate in a prion-like manner, and α-syn preformed fibrils (PFFs) have been widely used to ...

Luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes distinguish between α-synuclein assemblies of Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2019
Synucleinopathies [Parkinson’s disease with or without dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy] are neurodegenerative diseases that are defined by the presence of filamentous α-synuclein inclusions.

Cutaneous silent periods in multiple system atrophy

Biomedical Papers, 2015
Aim: The cutaneous silent period (CSP) is a spinal inhibitory reflex primarily mediated by A-delta fibers. Prolonged CSPs have been reported in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) and idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD).

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...
