How to spot ocular abnormalities in progressive supranuclear palsy? A practical review
Background For parkinsonian disorders, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) continues to be significant for differential diagnosis. PSP presents a range of ocular abnormalities that have been suggested as optional tools for its early detection, apart ...

Small Molecule Chaperones for the Treatment of Gaucher Disease and GBA1-Associated Parkinson Disease
Parkinson disease, the second most common movement disorder, is a complex neurodegenerative disorder hallmarked by the accumulation of alpha-synuclein, a neural-specific small protein associated with neuronal synapses. Mutations in the glucocerebrosidase

Risk of Parkinson Disease and Secondary Parkinsonism in Myocardial Infarction Survivors
Background In addition to primary neurodegenerative processes, vascular disorders, such as stroke, can lead to parkinsonism. However, some cardiovascular risk factors, such as smoking and elevated cholesterol levels, are associated with reduced risk of ...

Revisiting protein aggregation as pathogenic in sporadic Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases. [PDF]
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.
