Association or causation? Orthostatic hypotension and cognitive impairment in α-synucleinopathies: A systematic review
Objective: To systematically review the literature for evidence of an association between orthostatic hypotension (OH) and cognitive impairment (CI) in α-synucleinopathies and to discuss possible…The Catalan multiple system atrophy-registry (CMSAR)
Objective: To collect comprehensive and standardized clinical data and to create a repository of biological samples and cell lines from probable and possible MSA patients…Cognitive impairment in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy and multiple system atrophy
Objective: Assessment, description and mutual comparison of cognitive impairment in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: In most recent…Imaging-based differential diagnosis between multiple system atrophy and Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to directly compare middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP) width, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of the putamen and cerebellum, and 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial…Composite autonomic symptom scale-31 (COMPASS-31) is useful for evaluation of autonomic dysfunction in patients with parkinsonism
Objective: To investigate the usefulness of composite autonomic symptom scale 31 (COMPASS-31) in patients with parkinsonism by comparing COMPASS-31 between PD and MSA patients, and…Disease stage classification of the cerebellar variant of multiple system atrophy based on voxel-based morphometry
Objective: We previously reported that voxel-based morphometry (VBM) is effective for classifying the disease types causing cerebellar atrophy. In the present study, with the objective…Atypical Parkinsonian disorders: Insights for a differential diagnosis through the analysis of oculomotor profile in MSA, PSP and CBD patients
Objective: To determine peculiar changes in oculomotor profile that may help in distinguishing atypical parkinsonism with overlapping clinical features. Background: Atypical Parkinsonian disorders (APDs) include…The score changes of clinical symptom assessment scales for multiple system atrophy in 2-3 years
Objective: To examine the extent of disease progression for multiple system atrophy (MSA) during relatively long duration. Background: The knowledge of MSA natural history is…Creative thinking and parkinsonism: Preliminary clinical data on the role of frontal area
Objective: To evaluate divergent thinking (DT) by means of Abbreviated Torrance Test for Adults (ATTA) in Parkinsonism (PKS) with different deficit in cognitive functions. Background:…Early stridor onset predicts survival in multiple system atrophy
Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of stridor and of its latency of onset in a cohort of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) patients referred to…
