Multiple system atrophy is a complex condition that is likely caused by the interaction of multiple genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Some of these factors have been identified, but many remain unknown.. Changes in several genes are being studied as possible risk factors for multiple system atrophy. The genetic risk factors with the most evidence are variants in the SNCA and COQ2 genes. The SNCA gene provides instructions for making a protein called alpha-synuclein, which is abundant in normal brain cells but whose function is unknown. Studies suggest that several common variations in the SNCA gene are associated with an increased risk of multiple system atrophy in people of European descent. It is unclear whether these variations also affect disease risk in other populations. The COQ2 gene provides instructions for making a protein called coenzyme Q2. This enzyme carries out one step in the production of a molecule called coenzyme Q10, which has a critical role in energy production ...

What is Multiple System Atrophy?. MSA is a rare, rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder. MSA impairs the systems that regulate blood pressure, heart rate and bladder - many of the basic bodily functions that people take for granted every day. People with MSA suffer from dangerously low blood pressure, speech and swallowing difficulties, sleep disturbances, breathing problems, rigidity and tremors. The life expectancy for those with MSA is typically five to ten years. Patients with MSA, oftentimes progress to a point in which they are virtually trapped within their own bodies, unable to move and unable to communicate. At present, there is no cure for MSA, no genetic tests to detect it and very few treatments to manage its debilitating effects.. What Causes MSA?. The cause of Multiple System Atrophy is unknown. With more research, we can better understand the disease and one day find a cure.. How is MSA Diagnosed?. MSA is difficult to diagnose because in the early stages it closely ...

What is multiple system atrophy? Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is caused by the progressive degeneration of nerves in the brain and spinal cord. MSA attacks the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary action such as breathing, blood pressure, and digestion. MSA affects nearly 15,000 to 50,000 Americans and generally manifests in midlife, mimicking Parkinsons disease. In rare cases, MSA also affects children.

Introduction and Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a sporadic, adult-onset, progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized clinically by parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, and autonomic failure. We investigated cognitive functions longitudinally in a group of probable MSA patients, matching data with sleep parameters. Patients and Methods: 10 patients (7m/3f) underwent a detailed interview, a general and neurological examination, laboratory exams, MRI scans, a cardiovascular reflexes study, a battery of neuropsychological tests, and video-polysomnographic recording (VPSG). Patients were revaluated (T1) a mean of 16±5 (range: 12-28) months after the initial evaluation (T0). At T1, the neuropsychological assessment and VPSG were repeated. Results: The mean patient age was 57.8±6.4 years (range: 47-64) with a mean age at disease onset of 53.2±7.1 years (range: 43-61) and symptoms duration at T0 of 60±48 months (range: 12-144). At T0, 7 patients showed no cognitive deficits while 3 ...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small (18-25 nt), single-stranded, non-coding RNAs that play key roles in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation. The expression profiles of miRNAs in biofluids and tissues change in various diseases. Multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinsons disease (PD) are both categorized as α-synucleinopathies and often present with similar clinical manifestations. This study aimed to identify miRNAs that are differently expressed in plasma samples of PD patients, MSA patients, and healthy controls. We used microarray analysis to screen for miRNAs that are up- and down-regulated in these patients and analyzed the relative-quantitative expression levels of the identified miRNAs by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Hsa-miR-671-5p, hsa-miR-19b-3p, and hsa-miR-24-3p showed significantly different expression levels among patients with MSA-C, MSA-P, or PD, and healthy controls. Hsa-miR-671-5p levels were lower in the MSA-P and PD than

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative movement disorder characterized by parkinsonian symptoms and cerebellar symptoms. Sleep disturbances also play a crucial role in MSA. One of the most convincing animal models in MSA research is the PLP α-SYN model, but to date no studies on sleep disturbances in this mouse model, frequently found in MSA patients are available. We identified spectral shifts within the EEG of the model, strikingly resembling results of clinical studies. We also characterized muscle activity during REM sleep, which is one of the key symptoms in REM sleep behavioral disorder. Spectral shifts and REM sleep-linked muscle activity were age dependent, supporting face validity of the PLP α-SYN model. We also strongly suggest our findings to be critically evaluated for predictive validity in future studies. Currently, research on MSA lacks potential compounds attenuating or curing MSA. Future drugs must prove its potential in animal models, for this our study provides
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a horrible and unrelenting neurodegenerative disorder with an uncertain etiology and pathophysiology. MSA is a unique proteinopathy in which alpha-synuclein (α-syn) accumulates preferentially in oligodendroglia rather than neurons. Glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) of α-syn are thought to elicit changes in oligodendrocyte function, such as reduced neurotrophic support and demyelination, leading to neurodegeneration. To date, only a murine model using one of three promoters exist to study this disease. We sought to develop novel rat and nonhuman primate (NHP) models of MSA by overexpressing α-syn in oligodendroglia using a novel oligotrophic adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector, Olig001. To establish tropism, rats received intrastriatal injections of Olig001 expressing GFP. Histological analysis showed widespread expression of GFP throughout the striatum and corpus callosum with ,95% of GFP+ cells co-localizing with oligodendroglia and little to no expression ...
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative syndrome characterized by (oligodendro)glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) composed of a-synuclein. I have developed cell culture models of MSA based on overexpression of human a-synuclein in primary mouse oligodendrocytes. In oligodendrocytes derived from (PLP)-a-synuclein transgenic mice, elevation of a-synuclein levels by proteasome inhibition induced GCI formation and enhanced apoptosis. The same effects were observed in wild-type oligodendrocytes transduced with a lentiviral vector encoding a-synuclein. In contrast, lenti-a-synuclein failed to yield inclusions, and even prevented aggregation and cytotoxicity of a-synuclein. Selective caspase inhibitors blocking the intrinsic (mitochondrial) apoptosis pathway and the extrinsic pathway reduced aSYN-mediated oligodendrocyte cell death. a-synuclein overexpressing oligodendrocytes strongly expressed the pro-apoptotic Fas receptor and were specifically sensitized to Fas-mediated apoptosis. ...
The clinical and pathological features of 35 cases with multiple system atrophy collected in the United Kingdom Parkinsons Disease Society Brain Bank (UKPDSBB) between 1985 and 1992 have been analysed. The median age of onset was 55 (range 33.3-75.8) years and median survival was 7.3 (range 2.1-11.5) years. Parkinsonism, usually asymmetric, occurred in all, and autonomic failure in all but one case. Cerebellar signs were noted in 34% and pyramidal features in 54% of the cases. Glial cytoplasmic inclusions were found in all cases with adequate fixation. Lewy bodies were detected in three cases. The substantia nigra was (usually severely) depleted of cells in all cases. With two exceptions the putamen was atrophic; the caudate and pallidum were less commonly and less severely affected. Overall nigrostriatal cell loss correlated with severity of disease at the time of death. The latest, but not the best, recorded levodopa response tended to be inversely related to the degree of putaminal ...
Differentiating clinically between Parkinsons disease (PD) and the atypical parkinsonian syndromes of Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) is challenging but crucial for patient management and recruitment into clinical trials. Because PD (and the related disorder Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)) and MSA are characterised by the deposition of aggregated forms of α-synuclein protein (α-syn) in the brain, whereas CBS and PSP are tauopathies, we have developed immunoassays to detect levels of total and oligomeric forms of α-syn, and phosphorylated and phosphorylated oligomeric forms of α-syn, within body fluids, in an attempt to find a biomarker that will differentiate between these disorders. Levels of these 4 different forms of α-syn were measured in post mortem samples of ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from 76 patients with PD, DLB, PSP or MSA, and in 20 healthy controls. Mean CSF levels of total and oligomeric ...

We report here that multiple system atrophy (MSA) is caused by a different human prion composed of the α-synuclein protein. MSA is a slowly evolving disorder characterized by progressive loss of autonomic nervous system function and often signs of parkinsonism; the neuropathological hallmark of MSA is glial cytoplasmic inclusions consisting of filaments of α-synuclein. To determine whether human α-synuclein forms prions, we examined 14 human brain homogenates for transmission to cultured human embryonic kidney
IXICO plc announces that it has entered into an agreement with NYU Langone Health to support a trial to determine if the immunosuppressant drug Sirolimus - approved by the FDA to prevent organ transplant rejection and for the treatment of a rare and progressive lung disease called lymphangioleiomiomatosis - is also able to slow the progression of disease in people with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). Working with NYU Langone clinicians and researchers, the trial will help develop biomarkers for MSA from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).. MSA is a condition of the central nervous system that causes gradual damage to nerve cells in the brain. The project involves application of IXICOs existing MSA analysis solutions on retrospectively collected MRI data from patients with MSA, dementia with Lewy Bodies, Parkinsons disease, and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy as well as the joint development of a novel solution to analyse susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI)..

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rapidly-progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia and autonomic failure. A pathological hallmark of MSA is the presence of α-synuclein deposits in oligodendrocytes, the myelin-producing support cells of the brain. Brain pathology and in vitro studies indicate that myelin instability may be an early event in the pathogenesis of MSA. Lipid is a major constituent (78% w/w) of myelin and has been implicated in myelin dysfunction in MSA. However, changes, if any, in lipid level/distribution in MSA brain are unknown. Here, we undertook a comprehensive analysis of MSA myelin. We quantitatively measured three groups of lipids, sphingomyelin, sulfatide and galactosylceramide, which are all important in myelin integrity and function, in affected (under the motor cortex) and unaffected (under the visual cortex) white matter regions. For all three groups of lipids, most of the species were severely decreased (40-69%) in affected but

Lyme disease is not officially recognised as being endemic in Australia - this does not mean that it does not exist here, but the medical community foes not believe it to be so. As far as I am aware, everyone with recognised Lyme disease caught it outside Australia. However, there is a group of people with Lyme like symptoms who say that they have Lyme disease caught in Australia but the existence of the disease in these people is controversial. Because multiple system atrophy is only a rare complication of Lyme disease, and there are few cases of Lyme disease in Australia, I would be surprised if there were any patients with Lyme-related MSA in Australia.. ...

The neurodegenerative disease known as multiple system atrophy (MSA) affects both movement and involuntary bodily functions. Questions have been raised about the potential role of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) insufficiency in the development of MSA. Little is known about blood levels of CoQ10 in patients carrying either COQ2 mutations or no mutations.
Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is characterized clinically by parkinsonism, cerebellar, autonomic and corticospinal features of variable severity. When the presentation is only parkinsonism, the disease might be difficult to differentiate from Parkinson´s Disease (PD). We present a case of an 80-year-old man with previous diagnosis of PD. One year after diagnosis he had a whiplash cervical trauma due to a tricycle accident caused by a hole in the road. This low-energy trauma caused an unstable C4-C5 cervical fracture with spinal cord injury which required surgical decompression and stabilization. Neurological examination showed marked postural instability, no rest and postural tremor, finger tapping slowed on the right, spastic tetraparesis (ASIA D)-predominantly on the left side-, brisk deep tendon reflexes in the upper and lower extremities and bilateral extensor plantar response. He also presented with vertical gaze restriction, mild hypometria in horizontal saccades, moderate dysphagia and dysphonia

Medullary Hot-Cross Bun Sign in Multiple System Atrophy-Cerebellar: A new place for holy cross!. Abstraction. Multiple-system wasting ( MSA ) is a progressive neurodegenerative upset. Consensus standards clinically classify MSA patients into parkinsonian ( MSA-P ) and cerebellar ( MSA-C ) subtypes. It causes disfunction of multiple systems including autonomic, extrapyramidal, pyramidic and cerebellar system. Pontine hot-cross roll ( HCB ) mark in MSA is a well-documented and extremely specific entity due to selective loss of medullated pontocerebellar fibres and nerve cells in pontine rhaphe. To the best of our cognition, medullary hot-cross roll ( HCB ) mark has neer been described in literature. Herein, we report a instance of MSA-C with medullary HCB mark. Detection of medullary HCB mark might be a foster marker in the diagnosing of MSA-C, peculiarly in the absence of classical pontine HCB mark, nevertheless farther research will assist to formalize this mark..

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is characterised by parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia and autonomic failure. Cardiovascular dysfunction is usually more severe in MSA compared with PD, but some PD patients may present with severe orthostatic hypotension even in the early stages, similar to MSA patients. The presence of orthostatic hypotension alone does not distinguish MSA from PD.52 Bladder symptoms, severe voiding symptoms and an excess of 100 ml of residual urine frequently precede postural symptoms in MSA, and they may also precede the development of motor symptoms.76 The incidence of constipation is less in MSA compared with PD.77. With regard to autonomic tests, most MSA patients show normal myocardial MIBG accumulation, which is useful to differentiate MSA from PD. Previous studies using myocardial MIBG scintigraphy to distinguish PD patients from MSA patients showed sensitivity of 89% and specificity of 77%.34 The clonidine growth hormone stimulation test may also be useful for ...

ORIGINAL ARTICLES Depletion of Catecholaminergic Neurons of the Rostra1 Ventrolateral Medulla in Multiple Systems Atrophy with Autonomic Failure Eduardo E. Benarroch, MD, DSci,* Inge L. Smithson, MS,* Phillip A. Low, MD,* and Joseph E. Parisi, MDt The ventrolateral portion of the intermediate reticular formation of the medulla (ventrolateral medulla, VLM), including the CllAl groups of catecholaminergic neurons, is thought to be involved in control of sympathetic cardiovascular outaow, cardiorespiratory interactions, and reflex control of vasopressin release. As all these functions are affected in patients with multiple systems atrophy (MSA) with autonomic failure, we sought to test the hypothesis that catecholaminergic (tyrosine hydroxylase [THI-positive) neurons of the VLM are depleted in these patients. Medullas were obtained at autopsy from 4 patients with MSA with prominent autonomic failure and 5 patients with no neurological disease. Patients with MSA had laboratory evidence of severe ...
MSA is difficult to diagnose and is particularly difficult to differentiate from Parkinsons disease and atypical Parkinsonian disorders. Your doctor may need to perform a variety of tests to make a diagnosis. The primary symptoms often related to MSA are early signs of urogenital dysfunction, such as a loss of bladder control and erectile dysfunction.. Your doctor may measure your blood pressure when standing and lying down, and examine your eyes, your nerves, and your muscles to help them determine if you have MSA.. Further tests may include an MRI of the head and a determination of plasma norepinephrine hormone levels in your blood. Your urine may also be tested.. ...

Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is well known as a paraneoplastic syndrome or as a parainfectious neurologic complication. However, OMS associated with a neurodegenerative disorder has not been described previously. A 48-year-old woman had been diagnosed as multiple system atrophy-parkinsonian type (MSA-P) based on the findings of dopamine non-responsive parkinsonism with autonomic failure and typical findings on magnetic resonance imaging 5 years ago. She exhibited recurrent asynchronous and arrhythmic myoclonic movements of the upper limbs and abdomen with a very short duration, and involuntary eye movements, which were repetitive, rapid, random, multidirectional, conjugate saccades of irregular amplitude and frequency at rest. Based on hematological and radiological findings, the diagnosis was advanced MSA-P associated with OMS. As far as we are aware, there have not been any previous reports of such a case.

A person with multiple system atrophy has much slower movements than normal (bradykinesia). This can make it difficult to carry out everyday tasks. Movement is hard to initiate, and the person will often have a distinctive slow, shuffling walk with very small steps. Some people may also have stiff, tense muscles. This can make it even more difficult to move around and cause painful muscle cramps (dystonia). The above symptoms are typical of Parkinsons disease but, unfortunately, the medication used to relieve them in people with Parkinsons disease (levodopa) isnt very effective for people with multiple system atrophy.. ...

Project Summary/Abstract Parkinsonian syndromes (PS) are common and progressive neurodegenerative disorders that encompass a spectrum of movement disabilities. Despite their distinctive pathological signatures and patterns of brain changes, PS cause overlapping motor signs including bradykinesia, rigidity, and/or tremor, probably due to shared dysfunction of basal ganglia (BG)- and cerebellar-related structures. The current diagnosis and staging of PS as well as other neurodegenerative diseases are based on the pattern of neuronal cell loss or death, gliosis, and molecular markers. Among PS, the most common form is Parkinsons disease (PD), defined pathologically by neuronal loss in the substantia nigra (SN) of the BG and presence of ?-synuclein (?Syn) positive Lewy body (LB) aggregation, although many other regions also are involved. Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are also common PS, and are known for neuronal loss in different brain regions including the ...
Background: Idiopathic parkinsonism is a neurodegenerative syndrome of unknown cause and includes Parkinsons disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonian disorders. The atypical parkinsonian disorders are: Multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). The incidence rates of these diseases in Sweden are largely unknown. The diagnosis of each disease relies mainly on clinical examination although several imaging and laboratory parameters may show changes. A diagnosis based on clinical examination is especially difficult early in the course of each disease; diagnosis is easier later on when disease-charactersistic signs have evolved and become more prominent. However, even in later stages it is not uncommon that patients are misdiagnosed. PD can be divided into subgroups based on the main clinical symptoms, i. e. tremor dominant, postural instability and gait difficulty (PIGD), and indeterminate. The PIGD subtype has worse prognosis including ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - SUMO-1 is associated with a subset of lysosomes in glial protein aggregate diseases. AU - Wong, Mathew. AU - Goodwin, Jacob. AU - Norazit, Anwar. AU - Meedeniya, A. AU - Richter-Landsberg, Christiane. AU - Gai, Weiping. AU - Pountney, Dean. PY - 2013/1. Y1 - 2013/1. N2 - Oligodendroglial inclusion bodies characterize a subset of neurodegenerative diseases. Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is characterized by α-synuclein glial cytoplasmic inclusions and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is associated with glial tau inclusions. The ubiquitin homologue, SUMO-1, has been identified in inclusion bodies in MSA, located in discrete sub-domains in α-synuclein-positive inclusions. We investigated SUMO-1 associated with oligodendroglial inclusion bodies in brain tissue from MSA and PSP and in glial cell models. We examined MSA and PSP cases and compared to age-matched normal controls. Fluorescence immunohistochemistry revealed frequent SUMO-1 sub-domains within and surrounding inclusions ...
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), an atypical parkinsonian syndrome previously known as the Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome, has a prevalence of ∼5/100,000. Characteristic features include the insidious development in middle age of early postural instability leading to falls; a vertical supranuclear gaze palsy; axial rigidity; staring facies with a reduced blink rate; and a frontal dysexecutive syndrome.2 At the moment, the diagnosis remains clinical, and differentiating PSP from Parkinsons disease and other neurodegenerative disorders including multiple system atrophy may not be straightforward. However, certain MRI features may provide support for the diagnosis: on mid-sagittal MRI views, atrophy of the mid-brain tegmentum with relative preservation of the pons leads to an appearance that has, perhaps reflecting a degree of zoological controversy, been described both as the hummingbird sign3 and the penguin sign4 (fig 1A). On axial MRI views, the Mickey Mouse sign similarly ...
SUMMARY: As we defeat infectious diseases and cancer, one of the greatest medical challenges facing us in the mid-21st century will be the increasing prevalence of degenerative disease. Those diseases, which affect movement and cognition, can be the most debilitating. Dysfunction of the extrapyramidal system results in increasing motor disability often manifest as tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity. The common pathologic pathway of these diseases, collectively described as parkinsonian syndromes, such as Parkinson disease, multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, and dementia with Lewy bodies, is degeneration of the presynaptic dopaminergic pathways in the basal ganglia. Conventional MR imaging is insensitive, especially in early disease, so functional imaging has become the primary method used to differentiate a true parkinsonian syndrome from vascular parkinsonism, drug-induced changes, or essential tremor. Unusually for a modern functional imaging ...
The disorder may be associated with Addisons disease, atherosclerosis (build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries), diabetes, pheochromocytoma, and certain neurological disorders including Multiple system atrophy and other forms of dysautonomia. It is also associated with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. It is also present in many patients with Parkinsons Disease resulting from sympathetic denervation of the heart or as a side effect of dopaminomimetic therapy. This rarely leads to syncope unless the patient has developed true autonomic failure or has an unrelated cardiac problem.. Another disease is called Dopamine beta hydroxylase deficiency, that is thought to be underdiagnosed also, that causes loss of sympathetic noradrenergic function and is characterized by a low or extremely low levels of norepinephrine but an excess of dopamine.[6]. It is a symptom that quadriplegics and paraplegics might experience due to multiple systems inability to maintain a normal blood pressure and blood flow to the ...
This study is a search for biomarkers of Parkinson s disease (PD) that would provide early diagnostic clues or a means to monitor disease progression (or both). The analysis involves measuring hundreds of chemical substances in biospecimens for the discovery of compounds or metabolic pathways linked to PD. Two other disorders sometimes confused with PD (progressive supranuclear palsy and multiple system atrophy) will also be studied for constituents in samples of blood and cerebrospinal fluid that might differentiate them from those in PD biospecimens.. Hypothesis ...
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Corticobasal syndrome and Multiple System Atrophy are degenerative brain conditions. We need better methods of diagnosis and tracking disease progression. This can be improved by: a) detailed clinical study of patients with these diseases; b) study of change in patients clinical state over time; c) studying biomarkers such as blood or spinal fluid diagnosis or tracking the disease course; and d) including patients with very early disease who do not currently meet definite clinical criteria for disease in this group. Being involved in the study will involve: a) reading the project information sheet and completing a consent form; b) attending a research assessment on 5 occasions over 3 years; c) having a neurological assessment which will take 45 minutes; d) completing questionnaires; e) donating blood samples for research; f) agreeing that you can be contacted by phone or at a clinic appointment on two more occasions at 4 and 5 years. People unaffected by ...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Northera (droxidopa) to treat neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH). NOH symptoms include dizziness, light-headedness, or feelings that you may black out upon standing. This medication is for patients who also have Parkinsons Disease (PD), Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), Pure Autonomic Failure (PAF), Non-Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy (NDAN) or Dopamine Beta-Hydroxylase (DBH) deficiency. Northera has been approved by the FDA, and participants will receive medication and office appointments paid for during the study, as well as compensation for participation and travel expenses ...
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is an adult-onset sporadic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by any combination of parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, autonomic failure, and pyramidal tract signs.1 Structural brain MRI shows atrophy of the putamen, middle cerebellar peduncle, and pons.1 Although MSA is a rapid progressive disorder with no effective treatment, and it can present with a wider range of clinical features, several neurologic disorders underlying diverse etiologies can be clinically misdiagnosed as MSA and vice versa. Here we present a patient with subacute onset of neurologic symptoms resembling atypical parkinsonism similar to MSA due to a clival meningioma of the posterior fossae. ...

The study involved 93 people with this type of sleep disorder who had no signs of a neurodegenerative disease, such as dementia or Parkinsons disease. The participants were followed for an average of five years. During that time, 26 of the people developed a neurodegenerative disease. Fourteen developed Parkinsons disease, 11 developed dementia and were diagnosed with either Alzheimers disease or Lewy body dementia. One person developed multiple system atrophy, a rare disorder that affects movement, blood pressure and other body functions.. The estimated five-year risk of developing a neurodegenerative disease was 18 percent, with the 10-year risk at 41 percent and the 12-year risk at 52 percent.. These results are obviously of great interest to people who have this sleep disorder and their physicians and families, said study author Ronald B. Postuma, MD of McGill University in Montreal, Canada, who carried out the studies at the sleep disorders center at the Sacre Coeur hospital, ...
Soto has already used PMCA to detect Aβ oligomers in the CSF of AD patients (Mar 2014 news). Though this assay has not been widely used for that purpose, he is now examining whether it can pick up oligomers of α-synuclein in the CSF as well. If α-synuclein works as a biomarker in PD, it could aid in clinical and differential diagnosis, he said.. First author Mohammad Shahnawaz tested the CSF of 76 patients clinically diagnosed with PD. He also tested 10 patients each with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA)-two other α-synuclein-related disorders. He compared those samples to CSF collected from 97 controls who had other neurologic or neurodegenerative diseases, including AD, or who were cognitively healthy. PMCA detected α-synuclein oligomers in 67 of the 76 PD patients, all of the DLB patients, and in eight people with MSA. Because clinical diagnosis of PD is not completely accurate, some of the cases may have been misdiagnosed, the authors suggested. Twelve ...
Spinal deformities are frequent and disabling complications of movement disorders such as Parkinson disease and multiple system atrophy. The most distinct spinal deformities include camptocormia, antecollis, Pisa syndrome, and scoliosis. Spinal surgery has become lower risk and more efficacious for complex spinal deformities, and thus more appealing to patients, particularly those for whom conservative treatment…

There are limitations to all studies. The highest rates were found in studies of males greater than 50 years old and who were originally diagnosed with idiopathic RBD. A strong link between RBD and the development of dementia with Lewy bodies, multiple system atrophy and Parkinsons disease has been established; and RBD can occur before, after or at the same time as the development of these other conditions. It is recommended that patients with idiopathic RBD who have symptoms of concern (tremors, difficulty with balance or walking, memory problems and others) be screened by a neurologist. ...
Editorial Note: This post by Stevie Lewis raises a very tricky area. There is no doubt that SSRIs cause movement disorders and not just temporary disorders but permanent problems like atypical Motor Neurone Disorder (ALS), Steele-Richardson Syndrome, Osmotic Demyelination Sydrome (Pontine Myelinolysis) and Multiple System Atrophy. There is also little doubt that most neurologists have […]

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare brain disorder that causes serious and progressive problems with control of gait and balance, along with complex eye movement and thinking problems. One of the classic signs of the disease is an inability to aim the eyes properly, which occurs because of lesions in the area of the brain that coordinates eye movements. Some individuals describe this effect as a blurring. Affected individuals often show alterations of mood and behavior, including depression and apathy as well as progressive mild dementia.
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare and progressive condition that can cause problems with balance, movement, vision, speech and swallowing.
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), also known as the Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome, is a degenerative disease which involves the gradual deterioration, and after some time, the death of specific volumes of the brain, affecting movement, control of walking (gait) and balance, swallowing, speech, mood and behavior, vision and thinking.

Parks Associates consumer surveys find that 74% of US broadband households subscribe to at least one streaming service (often called OTT - Over-The-Top), and almost half of US broadband households subscribe to two or more services, said Dr. Kenneth Wacks, Contributing Analyst, Parks Associates. The top three OTT subscription services in the US are Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu. Newcomers Disney+ and Apple TV+ have grown quickly to round out the top five. Notably, Disney reports having 50 million subscribers as of April 2020. Additional services of note include CBS All Access, Crackle, Fubo TV, BHO Not, Philo, Pluto TV, and Sling TV.. These OTT services allow households to access premium video content without a set-top box, forcing a change in the relationship between set-top box (STB) makers and cable/satellite operators. Content developers and networks are now streaming content directly to consumers or distributing through OTT service providers. In some cases, multiple-system ...

Workflow automation will play an increasingly important role in 2020. Asset managers will continue to look for efficiencies by automating key processes, such as bank wire verifications, the general partner (GP) carry process, and expense allocations, which are often manual. If these processes are automated and can capture historical data, asset managers will significantly reduce risk and gain operational economies of scale.. In the private capital sector, there is a massive shift across all fund managers looking to put process automation in place. There are core systems with workflow automation already built into their platform, but this control is only focused on workflows specific to that particular system.. Asset managers are now looking to control approvals and processes for both internal and external constituents that span multiple systems. Incumbent systems generally do not offer business process management within their system. As a result, we are seeing more firms looking at broader ...

Stars typically eject a continuous supersonic flow of gas known as a stellar wind. Most stars are in multiple systems with two or more members, and their orbital motions affect the wind morphology. The Wilkin and Hausner (2017) orbiting wind model made the assumption that the wind was initially isotropic at launch. Here, we generalize this wind to a non-isotropic launch that is concentrated to the poles or equator of the star. This paper presents a self-consistent solution to this problem for the wind velocity and density structure.
