Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2024; 122:106062. [PMID: 38452445 DOI: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2024.106062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Visual rating of the cingulate island sign (CIS) on [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has a high specificity for dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) in selected cohorts such as DLB versus Alzheimer's disease (AD). In a mixed memory clinical population this study aimed to uncover the prevalence of CIS, the diagnostic accuracy for DLB, and the relationship between CIS and disease severity. METHODS CIS on [18F]FDG-PET was retrospectively assessed with the visual CIS rating scale (CISRs) in 1000 patients with a syndrome diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia with no restrictions in etiological diagnosis. RESULTS In this cohort 24.3 % had a CISRs score ≥1 and 3.5 % had a CISRs score = 4. The prevalence of a CISRs score ≥1 was highest in DLB (74.0 %, n = 57). A CISRs score ≥1 was present in at least 9 % in other diagnostic groups. The prevalence of CIS across disease severities showed no statistically significant difference (p = 0.23). To differentiate DLB from non-DLB the optimal cut-off was a CISRs score ≥1 (balanced accuracy = 77.1 %) in MCI/mild dementia and a CISRs score ≥2 (balanced accuracy = 80.6 %) in moderate/severe dementia. The positive predictive value of a CISRs score = 4 for DLB was 57.7 % in MCI/mild dementia and 33.3 % in moderate/severe dementia. CONCLUSION The CISRs is useful in differentiating DLB from other etiologies in a mixed memory clinical population. Balanced accuracy and positive predictive value may vary across disease severities in the population studied.

Neuroimaging alterations in dementia with Lewy bodies and neuroimaging differences between dementia with Lewy bodies and Alzheimer's disease: An activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis. CNS Neurosci Ther 2021; 28:183-205. [PMID: 34873859 PMCID: PMC8739049 DOI: 10.1111/cns.13775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2020] [Revised: 11/07/2021] [Accepted: 11/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims The aim of this study was to identify brain regions with local, structural, and functional abnormalities in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and uncover the differences between DLB and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The neural networks involved in the identified abnormal brain regions were further described. Methods PubMed, Web of Science, OVID, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library databases were used to identify neuroimaging studies that included DLB versus healthy controls (HCs) or DLB versus AD. The coordinate‐based meta‐analysis and functional meta‐analytic connectivity modeling were performed using the activation likelihood estimation algorithm. Results Eleven structural studies and fourteen functional studies were included in this quantitative meta‐analysis. DLB patients showed a dysfunction in the bilateral inferior parietal lobule and right lingual gyrus compared with HC patients. DLB patients showed a relative preservation of the medial temporal lobe and a tendency of lower metabolism in the right lingual gyrus compared with AD. The frontal‐parietal, salience, and visual networks were all abnormally co‐activated in DLB, but the default mode network remained normally co‐activated compared with AD. Conclusions The convergence of local brain regions and co‐activation neural networks might be potential specific imaging markers in the diagnosis of DLB. This might provide a pathway for the neural regulation in DLB patients, and it might contribute to the development of specific interventions for DLB and AD.

Metabolic patterns across core features in dementia with lewy bodies. Ann Neurol 2019; 85:715-725. [PMID: 30805951 DOI: 10.1002/ana.25453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2018] [Revised: 02/22/2019] [Accepted: 02/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify brain regions whose metabolic impairment contributes to dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) clinical core features expression and to assess the influence of severity of global cognitive impairment on the DLB hypometabolic pattern. METHODS Brain fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and information on core features were available in 171 patients belonging to the imaging repository of the European DLB Consortium. Principal component analysis was applied to identify brain regions relevant to the local data variance. A linear regression model was applied to generate core-feature-specific patterns controlling for the main confounding variables (Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE], age, education, gender, and center). Regression analysis to the locally normalized intensities was performed to generate an MMSE-sensitive map. RESULTS Parkinsonism negatively covaried with bilateral parietal, precuneus, and anterior cingulate metabolism; visual hallucinations (VH) with bilateral dorsolateral-frontal cortex, posterior cingulate, and parietal metabolism; and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) with bilateral parieto-occipital cortex, precuneus, and ventrolateral-frontal metabolism. VH and RBD shared a positive covariance with metabolism in the medial temporal lobe, cerebellum, brainstem, basal ganglia, thalami, and orbitofrontal and sensorimotor cortex. Cognitive fluctuations negatively covaried with occipital metabolism and positively with parietal lobe metabolism. MMSE positively covaried with metabolism in the left superior frontal gyrus, bilateral-parietal cortex, and left precuneus, and negatively with metabolism in the insula, medial frontal gyrus, hippocampus in the left hemisphere, and right cerebellum. INTERPRETATION Regions of more preserved metabolism are relatively consistent across the variegate DLB spectrum. By contrast, core features were associated with more prominent hypometabolism in specific regions, thus suggesting a close clinical-imaging correlation, reflecting the interplay between topography of neurodegeneration and clinical presentation in DLB patients.
