Objectives Prospective studies demonstrated that essential tremor is a risk factor for Parkinson's disease. Identifying clinical markers for conversion from essential tremor to essential tremor‐Parkinson's disease would be of considerable value. Rest tremor can be present in advanced essential tremor and may be a harbinger of conversion. We examined (1)

Sex Differences in Associations of Lewy Body Disease with Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitive Decline
Objective To investigate how sex and age at menopause influence the interplay between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Lewy body disease (LBD) neuropathologies, and their associations with cognitive decline. Methods We analyzed data from: (1) three Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center cohorts (i.e., the Religious Orders Study, Rush Memory and Aging Project, and

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 ...

What does it mean? Translating anatomical language to engage public audiences
Abstract The language of anatomy, with its roots in Ancient Greek and Roman languages, is complex and unfamiliar to many. Its complexity creates a significant barrier to public knowledge and understanding of anatomy—many members of the public find themselves asking “what does it mean?”, and this can manifest as poor health literacy and outcomes.

The subcortical cocktail problem; mixed signals from the subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra.
The subthalamic nucleus and the directly adjacent substantia nigra are small and important structures in the basal ganglia. Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have shown that the subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra are selectively ...

A Core Head, Neck, and Neuroanatomy Syllabus for Physical Therapy Student Education
ABSTRACT Head, neck, and neuroanatomy are essential components of physical therapy education due to their broad clinical applications. Detailed syllabi exist for medical students, yet none have been developed for physical therapy. This study aimed to produce an International Federation of Associations of Anatomists core head, neck, and neuroanatomy ...
