Dysphagia in Lewy body dementia - a clinical observational study of swallowing function by videofluoroscopic examination
BACKGROUND Dysphagia, which can result in aspiration pneumonia and death, is a well-known problem in patients with dementia and Parkinson's disease. There are few studies on dysphagia in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD), especially studies objectively documenting the type of swallowing dysfunction. The aim of this study was therefore to invest...
متن کاملCortical Lewy body disease.
C ortical Lewy body disease is a pathological observation rather than a distinct clinicopathological entity. Cortical Lewy bodies (CLB) are typically found in Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), although they may also occur in other neurological disorders. Unlike their brain stem counterparts, CLB are less distinctive and are poorly visualised using conventional histochemic...
متن کامل[Diffuse Lewy body disease].
Diffuse Lewy body disease (DLBD) has been studied from various viewpoints and, although clinical diagnostic criteria for DLBD have been proposed, diagnosis remains difficult. DLBD has been reported to be the second most common form of dementia in the aged, following Alzheimer-type dementia. It has, however, been clinically under-diagnosed. Therefore, the search for diagnostic markers for DLBD m...
متن کاملLewy body disease and dementia with Lewy bodies
In 1976 we reported our first autopsied case with diffuse Lewy body disease (DLBD), the term of which we proposed in 1984. We also proposed the term "Lewy body disease" (LBD) in 1980. Subsequently, we classified LBD into three types according to the distribution pattern of Lewy bodies: a brain stem type, a transitional type and a diffuse type. Later, we added the cerebral type. As we have propo...
متن کاملNeuroinflammation in Lewy body dementia.
Neuroinflammation is increasingly recognized as a key factor in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative conditions. However, it remains unclear whether it has a protective or damaging role. Studies of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease have provided much of the evidence for inflammatory pathology in neurodegeneration. Here we review the evidence for inflammation in dementia with Lewy bod...
