NOTCH2NLC Repeat Expansions in Parkinsonian Disorders: Clinical and Neuroimaging Characteristics
ABSTRACT Objective Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by NOTCH2NLC GGC repeat expansions, with heterogeneous clinical manifestations, including parkinsonism. Recent studies have identified NOTCH2NLC repeat expansions in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (aPM), suggesting ...

Orthostatic hypotension and novel blood pressure-associated gene variants: Genetics of Postural Hemodynamics (GPH) Consortium [PDF]
Aims: Orthostatic hypotension (OH), an independent predictor of mortality and cardiovascular events, strongly correlates with hypertension. Recent genome-wide studies have identified new loci influencing blood pressure (BP) in populations, but their ...

Exenatide Once Weekly in the Treatment of Patients with Multiple System Atrophy
Objective Exenatide, a glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonist, has neuroprotective effects in preclinical models of multiple system atrophy (MSA). We investigated these effects in a proof‐of‐concept clinical trial. Methods In this single‐center, randomized, open label trial, participants with MSA were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive ...

Disease Progression in Multiple System Atrophy: The ASPIRE Multi‐Modal Biomarker Study
Objective The objective of this study was to characterize changes in candidate biomarkers in early multiple system atrophy (MSA) and identify baseline predictors of faster progression. Methods This 1‐year, multicenter, prospective study assessed clinical, neuroimaging (3T‐magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], dopamine transporter single‐photon emission ...

Midodrine as a Countermeasure for Post-Spaceflight Orthostatic Hypotension [PDF]
One possible mechanism for post-spaceflight orthostatic hypotension, which affects approximately 30% of astronauts after short duration shuttle missions, is inadequate norepinephrine release during upright posture.

Orthostatic Hypotension and the Long-Term Risk of Dementia: A Population-Based Study [PDF]
Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common cause of transient cerebral hypoperfusion in the population. Cerebral hypoperfusion is widely implicated in cognitive impairment, but whether OH contributes to cognitive decline and dementia is ...

The synergistic effect of anticholinergic burden and depression on fall risk in older persons
Aims Both anticholinergic burden (ACB) and depression are known to increase fall risk in older persons, next to increasing morbidity and mortality. However, the effect of depression on fall risk associated with ACB is unclear. This is relevant because several antidepressants have anticholinergic effects to some extent.

Investigation of in vivo measurement of cerebral cytochrome-c-oxidase redox changes using near-infrared spectroscopy in patients with orthostatic hypotension [PDF]
We have previously used a continuous four wavelength near infrared spectrometer to measure changes in the cerebral concentrations of oxy- (Δ[HbO2] and deoxy- haemoglobin (Δ[HHb]) during head-up tilt in patients with primary autonomic failure.

Abstract Bexicaserin (LP352) is a selective superagonist of the 5‐hydroxytryptamine 2C (5‐HT2C) receptor currently in development for the treatment of seizures that arise from developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. This phase 1, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled multiple ascending dose (MAD) study assessed the safety, tolerability, and ...
