Newest firstIntroduction The diagnosis of corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is challenging due to its clinical overlap with other neurodegenerative disorders. Ideomotor apraxia is a core feature of CBS and often presents asymmetrically, but is often under-recognized in the clinical setting. Methods The "Paper-Toss Test" (PTT) is administered to a video-based case series of four patients with different CBS pathologies (Alzheimer's d…
Open article record in new tab ↗Tau, a microtubule-binding protein linked to tauopathies like Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), has 3-repeat (3R) and 4-repeat (4R) isoforms. Accumulation of the 4R-tau is associated with FTLD, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and cortico-basal degeneration (CBD). We previously showed that a loss of fused in sarcoma (FUS) or splicing factor, proline- and glutamine-rich (SFPQ) p…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background/Objectives: Atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APSs) are a group of neurodegenerative disorders that differ from idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) in their clinical presentation, underlying pathology, and response to treatment. APSs include conditions such as multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). These diso…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) are atypical parkinsonisms (APs) that are classified as tauopathies. Patients with these APs may present with similar early clinical manifestations to Parkinson's disease (PD), but they prove unresponsive to anti-parkinsonian medications. Objective The main objective of this meta-analysis was to compare first- and second-generation…
Open article record in new tab ↗Atypical parkinsonisms (APs) are a group of diseases linked to tau pathology. These include progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). In the initial stages, these APs may have similar clinical manifestations to Parkinson's disease (PD) and other parkinsonisms: bradykinesia, postural instability, tremor, and cognitive decline. Because of this, one major hurdle is the accurate early d…
Open article record in new tab ↗The relationship between in vivo synaptic density and molecular pathology in primary tauopathies is key to understanding the impact of tauopathy on functional decline and in informing new early therapeutic strategies. In this cross-sectional observational study, we determine the in vivo relationship between synaptic density and molecular pathology in the primary tauopathies of progressive supranuclear palsy and co…
Open article record in new tab ↗Diagnosing atypical parkinsonism can be an error-exposed undertaking in the context of elaborate criteria coupled with time restraints on their comprehensive application. We conducted a retrospective, descriptive study of diagnostic accuracy among physicians at two tertiary neurology centers in Romania and developed an algorithmic tool for comparison purposes. As many as 90 patients qualified for inclusion in the…
The relationship between in vivo synaptic density and tau burden in primary tauopathies is key to understanding the impact of tauopathy on functional decline and in informing new early therapeutic strategies. In this cross-sectional observational study, we determine the in vivo relationship between synaptic density and molecular pathology, in the primary tauopathies of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Cort…
Open article record in new tab ↗Intracellular filamentous tau pathology is the defining feature of tauopathies, which form a subset of neurodegenerative diseases. We have analyzed pathological tau in Alzheimer's disease, and in frontotemporal lobar degeneration associated with tauopathy to include cases with Pick bodies, corticobasal degeneration, progressive supranuclear palsy, and ones due to intronic mutations in MAPT. We found that the C-ter…
