Abnormal resting-state functional connectivity in progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal syndrome [PDF]
Background: Pathological and MRI-based evidence suggests that multiple brain structures are likely to be involved in functional disconnection between brain areas. Few studies have investigated resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in progressive

ABSTRACT Objective Reliable biomarkers are essential for tracking disease progression and advancing treatments for multiple system atrophy (MSA). In this study, we propose the MSA Atrophy Index (MSA‐AI), a novel composite volumetric measure to distinguish MSA from related disorders and monitor disease progression. Methods Seventeen participants with an

血管性帕金森综合征鉴别诊断的影像学研究进展 Advances of Imaging in the Differential Diagnosis of Vascular Parkinsonism
血管性帕金森综合征(vascular parkinsonism,VP)是临床上常见的继发性帕金森综合征,目前VP临床诊断和鉴别诊断的准确率较低,影响其临床治疗和预后。在临床实践中,影像学常用于VP的诊断。近年来多模态MRI和分子影像成像及分析技术等影像学技术的进展为提高VP的诊断和鉴别诊断准确率提供了客观手段。本文就前沿影像学技术在VP与原发性帕金森病以及其他非典型帕金森综合征鉴别诊断领域的研究进展进行综述,以期为VP的诊断和鉴别诊断提供新的思路。 Abstract: Vascular ...

Association Between Gadolinium Contrast Exposure and the Risk of Parkinsonism.
initial MRI was of the brain or spinal cord and those with prior parkinsonism or neurosurgery were excluded. Patients who were exposed to gadolinium-enhanced MRIs (modeled as a time-varying, cumulative count variable) were compared with patients who ...

Recent epidemiological observations have drawn attention to the rapid rise in the burden caused by Parkinson’s disease over the past years, emphasizing that Parkinson’s disease is a matter of serious concern for our future generations. A recent report by Public Health England corroborates this message, by providing new insight on trends in deaths ...

ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative diseases causing progressive deterioration and reduced quality of life. Therapeutic advances have been limited by a lack of sensitive anatomic, functional, or diffusion imaging‐based biomarkers.
