چکیده

Handwritten signatures are generally considered a powerful biometric traits for personal verification. Recently, handwritten signatures have been also investigated for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. This paper presents a new approach for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases by the analysis of handwritten dynamic signatures. For the purpose, the sigma-lognormal model was considered and dynamic parameters are extracted for signatures. Based on these parameters, the health condition of the signer is analysed in terms of Alzheimer disease. The approach is cheap and effective, therefore it can be considered as a very promising direction for further research.

On the 'classification' of neurodegenerative disorders: discrete entities, overlap or continuum?

The traditional method of classifying neurodegenerative diseases is based on the original clinico-pathological concept supported by 'consensus' criteria and data from molecular pathological studies. This review discusses first, current problems in classification resulting from the coexistence of different classificatory schemes, the presence of disease heterogeneity and multiple pathologies, th...

Biosignatures 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...
