Contralateral Spread of Asymmetrical Tremor in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinsonian tremor usually starts asymmetrically. The mid‐term prognosis of this lateralized tremor is unknown, as is the development of tremor in the contralateral arm. Objective To investigate the occurrence of contralateral tremor in the Parkinson's Progression Marker Initiative database, with data available for 7 years ...

Is Dysphagia in Multiple System Atrophy Responsive to Levodopa? Results from a Retrospective Study

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dysphagia remains a major clinical concern in multiple system atrophy (MSA), and so far, lacks relevant treatment options. Objective To systematically assess levodopa‐responsiveness of dysphagia in MSA. Methods 19 MSA‐patients underwent endoscopic swallowing evaluation in Off‐ and On‐state, following an adapted FEES‐levodopa‐test ...

PINK1 homozygous W437X mutation in a patient with apparent dominant transmission of parkinsonism. [PDF]

, 2006
We analyzed the PINK1 gene in 58 patients with early-onset Parkinsonism and detected the homozygous mutation W437X in 1 patient. The clinical phenotype was characterized by early onset (22 years of age), good re- sponse to levodopa, early fluctuations ...

Comparative Analysis of the Incidence, Prevalence, and Survival of 8 Types of Parkinsonism in a Population‐Based Study with 367 Million Person Years of Observation over 21 Years

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Findings are contradictory regarding changes in the incidence and prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) over time; data for other parkinsonian disorders are rare. Objectives To analyze temporal trends in the incidence and prevalence of eight parkinsonisms (PD, MSA, PSP, CBS, DLB, vascular parkinsonism, drug‐induced parkinsonism ...
