Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Pathology in Multiple System Atrophy

Pathology of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (cte) Program Syllabus

Multiple system atrophy: cellular and molecular pathology.

Multiple system atrophy is an adult onset neurodegenerative disease, featuring parkinsonism, ataxia, and autonomic failure, in any combination. The condition is relentlessly progressive and responds poorly to treatment. Death occurs on average six to seven years after the onset of symptoms. No familial cases of multiple system atrophy have been reported, and no environmental factors have been r...

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

42 The Hearing Journal May 2017 C oncussions are something of a clinical conundrum. There has been growing concern that one or more blows to the head can cause lasting brain damage, even after symptoms appear to have resolved. The diagnosis of concussions relies on the evaluation of multiple organ symptoms, but it is important to note that patient reports of their symptoms are inherently subjec...

TDP-43 pathology occurs infrequently in multiple system atrophy.

AIMS AND METHODS The α-synucleinopathy multiple system atrophy (MSA) and diseases defined by pathological 43-kDa transactive response DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) or fused in sarcoma (FUS) aggregates such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration show overlapping clinico-pathological features. Consequently, we examined MSA for evidence of TDP-43 or FUS pathology uti...

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy: A Review

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is a long-term consequence of single or repetitive closed head injuries for which there is no treatment and no definitive pre-mortem diagnosis. It has been closely tied to athletes who participate in contact sports like boxing, American football, soccer, professional wrestling and hockey. Risk factors include...
