Susceptibility-weighted MRI of extrapyramidal brain structures in Parkinsonian disorders
Susceptibility-weighted MRI (SWI) is sensitive to T2 effects and mineralization.We investigated differences in the extrapyramidal brain structures on SWI between Parkinson disease (PD) and postural instability gait disorder (PIGD) patients and correlated the SWI values with the degree of gait dysfunction.Forty patients diagnosed with PD and PIGD underwent 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI...
متن کاملNeuropathology of Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders
Although the clinical syndrome of parkinsonism (rigidity, bradykinesia, and tremor) is most often owing to idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD), it may also be associated with a variety of other underlying pathologies (Table 1) (1–3). Each of these other pathological conditions tends to have a characteristic clinical phenotype, however atypical cases are increasingly recognized (4–8). Moreover, ...
متن کاملBiosignatures for Parkinson’s Disease and Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders Patients
Diagnosis of Parkinson' disease (PD) carries a high misdiagnosis rate due to failure to recognize atypical parkinsonian disorders (APD). Usually by the time of diagnosis greater than 60% of the neurons in the substantia nigra are dead. Therefore, early detection would be beneficial so that therapeutic intervention may be initiated early in the disease process. We used splice variant-specific mi...
متن کاملHistorical Issues and Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders
Studying archetypes is a fundamental task in nosography. Duchenne de Boulogne practiced it instinctively, and many others have done it before and after him: It is indispensable, and the only way to extract a specific pathological state from the chaos of imprecision. The history of medicine, which is long and grand, shows this truth well. But once the archetype is established, the second nosogra...
متن کاملRehabilitation of Patients With Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders
Atypical parkinsonism encompasses several disorders that may have disease-specific or individualspecific characteristics, however common features include akinesia, rigidity, gait difficulties, and cognitive decline with gradual worsening of the symptoms. These features result in a variety of deficits that affect the patient’s ability to function in their usual capacity at home, on the job, and ...
