Progression to vascular dementia of patients with mild cognitive impairment: relevance of mild parkinsonian signs
Mild parkinsonian signs (MPS) may be found among patients presenting with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), but few data are available about the relation of these signs with the prospective risk for dementia. Our retrospective investigation considered a case-series of 119 MCI subjects followed over a three-year period: their baseline clinical picture has been analyzed in search of correlation be...
متن کاملPower spectra for screening parkinsonian patients for mild cognitive impairment
OBJECTIVE Mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI) is diagnosed based on the results of a standardized set of cognitive tests. We investigate whether quantitative EEG (qEEG) measures could identify differences between cognitively normal PD (PD-CogNL) and PD-MCI patients. METHODS High-resolution EEG was recorded in 53 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Relative power in f...

OBJECTIVES To study the functional correlates of MPS, including self-reported and performance-based measures of function, and to determine the prevalence of MPS in a cohort of community-dwelling older peopl...

متن کاملAssociation of Parkinson disease risk loci with mild parkinsonian signs in older persons.
IMPORTANCE Parkinsonian motor signs are common in the aging population and are associated with adverse health outcomes. Compared with Parkinson disease (PD), potential genetic risk factors for mild parkinsonian signs have been largely unexplored. OBJECTIVE To determine whether PD susceptibility loci are associated with parkinsonism or substantia nigra pathology in a large community-based coho...
