Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a common neurological disorder with unknown etiology. A selective depletion of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) has been shown in iNPH patients. We collected serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 43 iNPH patients and 35 with other neurodegenerative conditions, and serum from 43 healthy subjects. All ... Read more >>

During the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Northern Italy, we observed a 57-year-old man developing acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy, a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), 12 days after severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Similarly to other bacterial and viral infections, dysregulation of the immune system due to ... Read more >>

The initiation of gait is a highly challenging task for the balance control system, and can be used to investigate the neural control of upright posture maintenance during whole-body movement. Gait initiation is a centrally-mediated motion achieved in a principled, controlled manner, including predictive mechanisms (anticipatory postural adjustments, APA) that ... Read more >>

OBJECTIVE:In this prospective, controlled, monocentric study, we described the clinical and neuroimaging 12-month follow-up of two parallel cohorts of subjects with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), who did or did not undergo lumboperitoneal shunt (LPS). METHODS:We recruited 78 iNPH patients. At baseline, subjects underwent clinical and neuropsychological assessments, 3 T magnetic ... Read more >>

<h4>Introduction</h4>Myoclonus-dystonia is a rare syndrome typically occurring during childhood or adolescence, mainly due to SGCE pathogenic variants. Early-onset, atypical presentations of myoclonus-dystonia have recently been associated with KCTD17 variants. In these cases, laryngeal involvement was reported in the advanced stages.<h4>Methods</h4>We evaluated a 52-year-old man with myoclonus-dystonia and positive family history. ... Read more >>

<h4>Objective</h4>To investigate reproducibility and reaction time of oropharyngeal swallowing in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonisms (APs).<h4>Methods</h4>We enrolled 19 patients with PD, 30 with APs, and 20 healthy subjects. Presence and severity of dysphagia were assessed with clinical and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluations of swallowing. Reproducibility of the oral ... Read more >>

BACKGROUND:Dysphagia in the elderly, known as presbydysphagia, has become a relevant public health problem in several countries. Swallowing disorders may be a consequence of different neurological disorders (secondary presbydysphagia) or the expression of the aging process itself (primary presbydysphagia). We aimed to test the therapeutic potential of two different non-invasive ... Read more >>

<h4>Introduction</h4>Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by dysautonomia in combination with parkinsonian and cerebellar signs. Stridor may also occur and it is associated with life-threatening events and poor prognosis. The pathophysiology of stridor in MSA is still debated.<h4>Objective</h4>To define correlations between diurnal electromyographic (EMG) abnormalities of vocal ... Read more >>

<h4>Introduction</h4>Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a complex syndrome of ventriculomegaly that can include parkinsonian-like features besides the classical triad of cognitive decline, urinary incontinence, and gait/balance disturbances. Pisa syndrome (PS) is a postural abnormality often associated with parkinsonism and defined as lateral trunk flexion greater than 10° while standing ... Read more >>

<b>Background and Aims:</b> Neurogenic dysphagia linked to failed relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) can be treated by injecting botulinum toxin (BTX) into the cricopharyngeal (CP) muscle. We compared the effects of this treatment in different neurological disorders with dysphagia, to evaluate its efficacy over time including the response ... Read more >>
