Lewy body pathology in normal elderly subjects.
Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites are the hallmark neuropathologic findings in Parkinson disease, Parkinson disease with dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and other alpha-synucleinopathies. They have also been described in the brains of normal older individuals and referred to as incidental Lewy body disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of Lewy bodies and Lewy neuri...
متن کاملLewy body pathology involves cutaneous nerves.
Involvement of the peripheral autonomic nervous system is a core feature of Lewy body (LB) diseases, including Parkinson disease (PD), PD with dementia, and dementia with LBs. To investigate the potential use of skin biopsy for the diagnosis of LB diseases, we assessed anti-phosphorylated alpha-synuclein immunoreactivity in peripheral nerves in samples of skin from the abdominal wall and flexor...
متن کاملMolecular Pathology of Lewy Body Diseases
Lewy body diseases are characterized by the presence of Lewy bodies, alpha-synuclein(AS)-positive inclusions in the brain. Since their main component is conformationally modified AS, aggregation of the latter is thought to be a key pathogenic event in these diseases. The analysis of inclusion body constituents gives additional information about pathways also involved in the pathology of synucle...
متن کاملStaging/typing of Lewy body related alpha-synuclein pathology
When 22 members of the BrainNet Europe (BNE) consortium assessed 31 cases with a-synuclein (aS) immunoreactive (IR) pathology applying the consensus protocol described by McKeith and colleagues in 2005, the inter-observer agreement was 80%, being lowest in the limbic category (73%). When applying the staging protocol described by Braak and colleagues in 2003, agreement was only 65%, and in some...
متن کاملCrossover between Lewy Body Pathology and Alzheimer’s Dementia
Several recent studies have shown that dementia is common in Parkinson’s Disease (PD), and that in some patients, cognitive impairment occurs even at the time of diagnosis. The point prevalence of dementia in PD (PDD) is close to 30% and the cumulative prevalence is very high, up to 80% of PD patients who survive for more than 10 years will develop dementia [1]. Nearly 20% of subjects with earl...
