Welding-related parkinsonism: clinical features, treatment, and pathophysiology.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether welding-related parkinsonism differs from idiopathic PD. BACKGROUND Welding is considered a cause of parkinsonism, but little information is available about the clinical features exhibited by patients or whether this is a distinct disorder. METHODS The authors performed a case-control study that compared the clinical features of 15 career welders, who were asc...

a-Synuclein (a-syn) aggregation is central to neuropathological changes in Parkinson’s disease. The aggregates spread within the central nervous system according to a very predictable pattern. A prion-like transmission of a-syn aggregates has been recently proposed to explain this propagation pattern. First, we review the growing evidence for such a mechanism. This process is likely to occur in...

Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is common in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Actigraphy uses periods of immobility as surrogate markers of nighttime sleep but there are no examples of its use in assessing EDS of PD. A commercial wrist worn system for measuring bradykinesia and dyskinesia also detects 2 min periods of immobility, which have a 85.2% concordance with the detection of sleep by ambulat...

Background and purpose: Quantitative analysis of brain atrophy may be useful in differentiating Parkinson’s Disease (PD) from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and parkinsonian variant of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA-P); the aim of this study was to identify the volumetric differences of subcortical structures in patients with PD, PSP and MSA-P using a novel and validated fully-automated who...

People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have difficulty performing dual tasks or simultaneous movements, even if the same movements can be easily performed individually. This has particular significance clinically, as for example falling injuries may occur if care is not taken to perform tasks one at a time. We investigated whether this difficultyx results from impaired dopamine-modulated connecti...
