Abstract
PURPOSE The specific characteristics of autonomic involvement in patients with early Parkinson's disease (PD) are unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of autonomic dysfunction in drug-naïve patients with early-stage PD without orthostatic hypotension (OH) by analyzing Valsalva maneuver (VM) parameters. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed drug-naïve patients without orthostatic hypotension (n = 61) and controls (n = 20). The patients were subcategorized into early PD (n = 35) and mid-PD (n = 26) groups on the basis of the Hoehn and Yahr staging. VM parameters, including changes in systolic blood pressure at late phase 2 (∆SBPVM2), ∆HRVM3, Valsalva ratio (VR), pressure recovery time, adrenergic baroreflex sensitivity, and vagal baroreflex sensitivity, were assessed. RESULTS In the early PD group, ∆SBPVM2, a marker of sympathetic function, was significantly lower compared with that in controls (risk ratio = 0.95, P = 0.027). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed an optimal cut-off value of -10 mmHg for ∆SBPVM2 [P = 0.002, area under the curve (AUC): 0.737]. VR exhibited an inverse relationship with Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part 3 scores in the multivariable regression analysis (VR: P = 0.038, β = -28.61), whereas age showed a positive relationship (age: P = 0.027, β = 0.35). CONCLUSION The ∆BPVM2 parameter of the VM may help detect autonomic nervous system involvement in early-PD without OH. Our results suggest that sympathetic dysfunction is an early manifestation of autonomic dysfunction in patients with PD.

Synchronous monitoring of brain-heart electrophysiology using heart rate variability coupled with rapid quantitative electroencephalography in orthostatic hypotension patients with α-synucleinopathies: Rapid prediction of orthostatic hypotension and preliminary exploration of brain stimulation therapy. CNS Neurosci Ther 2024; 30:e14571. [PMID: 38421092 PMCID: PMC10850923 DOI: 10.1111/cns.14571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In α-synucleinopathies, the dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system which typically manifests as orthostatic hypotension (OH) often leads to severe consequences and poses therapeutic challenges. This study aims to discover the brain-cardiac electrophysiological changes in OH patients with α-synucleinopathies using the rapid quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) coupled with heart rate variability (HRV) technique to identify rapid, noninvasive biomarkers for early warning and diagnosis, as well as shed new light on complementary treatment approaches such as brain stimulation targets. METHODS In this study, 26 subjects of α-synucleinopathies with OH (α-OH group), 21 subjects of α-synucleinopathies without OH (α-NOH group), and 34 healthy controls (control group) were included from September 2021 to August 2023 (NCT05527067). The heart rate-blood pressure variations in supine and standing positions were monitored, and synchronization parameters of seated resting-state HRV coupled with qEEG were collected. Time-domain and frequency-domain of HRV measures as well as peak frequency and power of the brainwaves were extracted. Differences between these three groups were compared, and correlations between brain-heart parameters were analyzed. RESULTS The research results showed that the time-domain parameters such as MxDMn, pNN50, RMSSD, and SDSD of seated resting-state HRV exhibited a significant decrease only in the α-OH group compared to the healthy control group (p < 0.05), while there was no significant difference between the α-NOH group and the healthy control group. Several time-domain and frequency-domain parameters of seated resting-state HRV were found to be correlated with the blood pressure changes within the first 5 min of transitioning from supine to standing position (p < 0.05). Differences were observed in the power of beta1 waves (F4 and Fp2) and beta2 waves (Fp2 and F4) in the seated resting-state qEEG between the α-OH and α-NOH groups (p < 0.05). The peak frequency of theta waves in the Cz region also showed a difference (p < 0.05). The power of beta2 waves in the Fp2 and F4 brain regions correlated with frequency-domain parameters of HRV (p < 0.05). Additionally, abnormal electrical activity in the alpha, theta, and beta1 waves was associated with changes in heart rate and blood pressure within the first 5 min of transitioning from supine to standing position (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Rapid resting-state HRV with certain time-domain parameters below normal levels may serve as a predictive indicator for the occurrence of orthostatic hypotension (OH) in patients with α-synucleinopathies. Additionally, the deterioration of HRV parameters correlates with synchronous abnormal qEEG patterns, which can provide insights into the brain stimulation target areas for OH in α-synucleinopathy patients.

Abstract
Cardiac sympathetic denervation, as documented on 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy, is relatively sensitive and specific for distinguishing Parkinson's disease (PD) from other neurodegenerative causes of parkinsonism. The present study aims to comprehensively review the literature regarding the use of cardiac MIBG in PD. MIBG is an analog to norepinephrine. They share the same uptake, storage, and release mechanisms. An abnormal result in the cardiac MIBG uptake in individuals with parkinsonism can be an additional criterion for diagnosing PD. However, a normal result of cardiac MIBG in individuals with suspicious parkinsonian syndrome does not exclude the diagnosis of PD. The findings of cardiac MIBG studies contributed to elucidating the pathophysiology of PD. We investigated the sensitivity and specificity of cardiac MIBG scintigraphy in PD. A total of 54 studies with 3114 individuals diagnosed with PD were included. The data were described as means with a Hoehn and Yahr stage of 2.5 and early and delayed registration H/M ratios of 1.70 and 1.51, respectively. The mean cutoff for the early and delayed phases were 1.89 and 1.86. The sensitivity for the early and delayed phases was 0.81 and 0.83, respectively. The specificity for the early and delayed phases were 0.86 and 0.80, respectively.

Abstract
We have recently published the notion of the "vitals" of Parkinson's, a conglomeration of signs and symptoms, largely nonmotor, that must not be missed and yet often not considered in neurological consultations, with considerable societal and personal detrimental consequences. This "dashboard," termed the Chaudhuri's vitals of Parkinson's, are summarized as 5 key vital symptoms or signs and comprise of (a) motor, (b) nonmotor, (c) visual, gut, and oral health, (d) bone health and falls, and finally (e) comorbidities, comedication, and dopamine agonist side effects, such as impulse control disorders. Additionally, not addressing the vitals also may reflect inadequate management strategies, leading to worsening quality of life and diminished wellness, a new concept for people with Parkinson's. In this paper, we discuss possible, simple to use, and clinically relevant tests that can be used to monitor the status of these vitals, so that these can be incorporated into clinical practice. We also use the term Parkinson's syndrome to describe Parkinson's disease, as the term "disease" is now abandoned in many countries, such as the U.K., reflecting the heterogeneity of Parkinson's, which is now considered by many as a syndrome.

Deep Learning Paradigm for Cardiovascular Disease/Stroke Risk Stratification in Parkinson’s Disease Affected by COVID-19: A Narrative Review. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12071543. [PMID: 35885449 PMCID: PMC9324237 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12071543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Motivation: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most serious, non-curable, and expensive to treat. Recently, machine learning (ML) has shown to be able to predict cardiovascular/stroke risk in PD patients. The presence of COVID-19 causes the ML systems to become severely non-linear and poses challenges in cardiovascular/stroke risk stratification. Further, due to comorbidity, sample size constraints, and poor scientific and clinical validation techniques, there have been no well-explained ML paradigms. Deep neural networks are powerful learning machines that generalize non-linear conditions. This study presents a novel investigation of deep learning (DL) solutions for CVD/stroke risk prediction in PD patients affected by the COVID-19 framework. Method: The PRISMA search strategy was used for the selection of 292 studies closely associated with the effect of PD on CVD risk in the COVID-19 framework. We study the hypothesis that PD in the presence of COVID-19 can cause more harm to the heart and brain than in non-COVID-19 conditions. COVID-19 lung damage severity can be used as a covariate during DL training model designs. We, therefore, propose a DL model for the estimation of, (i) COVID-19 lesions in computed tomography (CT) scans and (ii) combining the covariates of PD, COVID-19 lesions, office and laboratory arterial atherosclerotic image-based biomarkers, and medicine usage for the PD patients for the design of DL point-based models for CVD/stroke risk stratification. Results: We validated the feasibility of CVD/stroke risk stratification in PD patients in the presence of a COVID-19 environment and this was also verified. DL architectures like long short-term memory (LSTM), and recurrent neural network (RNN) were studied for CVD/stroke risk stratification showing powerful designs. Lastly, we examined the artificial intelligence bias and provided recommendations for early detection of CVD/stroke in PD patients in the presence of COVID-19. Conclusion: The DL is a very powerful tool for predicting CVD/stroke risk in PD patients affected by COVID-19.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a severe, incurable, and costly condition leading to heart failure. The link between PD and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is not available, leading to controversies and poor prognosis. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already shown promise for CVD/stroke risk stratification. However, due to a lack of sample size, comorbidity, insufficient validation, clinical examination, and a lack of big data configuration, there have been no well-explained bias-free AI investigations to establish the CVD/Stroke risk stratification in the PD framework. The study has two objectives: (i) to establish a solid link between PD and CVD/stroke; and (ii) to use the AI paradigm to examine a well-defined CVD/stroke risk stratification in the PD framework. The PRISMA search strategy selected 223 studies for CVD/stroke risk, of which 54 and 44 studies were related to the link between PD-CVD, and PD-stroke, respectively, 59 studies for joint PD-CVD-Stroke framework, and 66 studies were only for the early PD diagnosis without CVD/stroke link. Sequential biological links were used for establishing the hypothesis. For AI design, PD risk factors as covariates along with CVD/stroke as the gold standard were used for predicting the CVD/stroke risk. The most fundamental cause of CVD/stroke damage due to PD is cardiac autonomic dysfunction due to neurodegeneration that leads to heart failure and its edema, and this validated our hypothesis. Finally, we present the novel AI solutions for CVD/stroke risk prediction in the PD framework. The study also recommends strategies for removing the bias in AI for CVD/stroke risk prediction using the PD framework.

Cardiac sympathetic innervation in Parkinson's disease versus multiple system atrophy. Clin Auton Res 2022; 32:103-114.

Abstract
Purpose The aims of this study were to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the dual imaging method combining cardiac iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine single-photon emission computed tomography combined with low-dose chest computed tomography compared to routine cardiac scintigraphy, and assess regional differences in tracer distribution and the relationships between imaging and autonomic function in Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy. Methods A prospective study including 19 Parkinson’s disease and 12 multiple system atrophy patients was performed. Patients underwent clinical evaluation, iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine single-photon emission computed tomography combined with chest computed tomography, planar scintigraphy, and cardiovascular autonomic function tests. Results Co-registration of single-photon emission computed tomography and chest computed tomography resulted in three groups with distinct patterns of tracer uptake: homogeneous, non-homogeneously reduced and absent. There was a significant difference in group allocation among patients with multiple system atrophy and Parkinson’s disease (p = 0.001). Most multiple system atrophy patients showed homogeneous uptake, and the majority of Parkinson’s disease patients showed absent cardiac tracer uptake. We identified a pattern of heterogeneous cardiac tracer uptake in both diseases with reductions in the apex and the lateral myocardial wall. Sympathetic dysfunction reflected by a missing blood pressure overshoot during Valsalva manoeuvre correlated with cardiac tracer distribution in Parkinson’s disease patients (p < 0.001). Conclusions The diagnostic accuracy of the dual imaging method and routine cardiac scintigraphy were similar. Anatomical tracer allocation provided by the dual imaging method of cardiac iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine single-photon emission computed tomography and chest computed tomography identified a heterogeneous subgroup of Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy patients with reduced cardiac tracer uptake in the apex and the lateral wall. Sympathetic dysfunction correlated with cardiac imaging in Parkinson’s disease patients.

Abstract
AIM To understand why autonomic failures, a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), occur earlier than typical motor disorders. METHODS Vagal application of DOPAL (3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde) to simulate PD-like autonomic dysfunction and understand the connection between PD and cardiovascular dysfunction. Molecular and morphological approaches were employed to test the time-dependent alternation of α-synuclein aggregation and the ultrastructure changes in the heart and nodose (NG)/nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). RESULTS Blood pressure (BP) and baroreflex sensitivity of DOPAL-treated rats were significantly reduced accompanied with a time-dependent change in orthostatic BP, consistent with altered echocardiography and cardiomyocyte mitochondrial ultrastructure. Notably, time-dependent and collaborated changes in Mon-/Tri-α-synuclein were paralleled with morphological alternation in the NG and NTS. CONCLUSION These all demonstrate that early autonomic dysfunction mediated by vagal application of DOPAL highly suggests the plausible etiology of PD initiated from peripheral, rather than central site. It will provide a scientific basis for the prevention and early diagnosis of PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comprehensive exams such as the Dean-Woodcock Neuropsychological Assessment System, the Global Deterioration Scale, and the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination are the gold standard for doctors and clinicians in the preliminary assessment and monitoring of neurocognitive function in conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases and acquired brain injuries (ABIs). In recent years, there has been an increased focus on implementing these exams on mobile devices to benefit from their configurable built-in sensors, in addition to scoring, interpretation, and storage capabilities. As smartphones become more accepted in health care among both users and clinicians, the ability to use device information (eg, device position, screen interactions, and app usage) for subject monitoring also increases. Sensor-based assessments (eg, functional gait using a mobile device's accelerometer and/or gyroscope or collection of speech samples using recordings from the device's microphone) include the potential for enhanced information for diagnoses of neurological conditions; mapping the development of these conditions over time; and monitoring efficient, evidence-based rehabilitation programs. OBJECTIVE This paper provides an overview of neurocognitive conditions and relevant functions of interest, analysis of recent results using smartphone and/or tablet built-in sensor information for the assessment of these different neurocognitive conditions, and how human-device interactions and the assessment and monitoring of these neurocognitive functions can be enhanced for both the patient and health care provider. METHODS This survey presents a review of current mobile technological capabilities to enhance the assessment of various neurocognitive conditions, including both neurodegenerative diseases and ABIs. It explores how device features can be configured for assessments as well as the enhanced capability and data monitoring that will arise due to the addition of these features. It also recognizes the challenges that will be apparent with the transfer of these current assessments to mobile devices. RESULTS Built-in sensor information on mobile devices is found to provide information that can enhance neurocognitive assessment and monitoring across all functional categories. Configurations of positional sensors (eg, accelerometer, gyroscope, and GPS), media sensors (eg, microphone and camera), inherent sensors (eg, device timer), and participatory user-device interactions (eg, screen interactions, metadata input, app usage, and device lock and unlock) are all helpful for assessing these functions for the purposes of training, monitoring, diagnosis, or rehabilitation. CONCLUSIONS This survey discusses some of the many opportunities and challenges of implementing configured built-in sensors on mobile devices to enhance assessments and monitoring of neurocognitive functions as well as disease progression across neurodegenerative and acquired neurological conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the association of autonomic dysfunction with cognition, depression, apathy, and fatigue in Lewy body disease (LBD). METHODS We included 61 patients [49 with idiopathic Parkinson's disease, 7 with dementia with Lewy bodies, and 5 E46K-SNCA mutation carriers] and 22 healthy controls. All participants underwent a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological and clinical measures, autonomic symptom assessment with the SCOPA-AUT, analysis of non-invasive hemodynamic parameters during deep breathing, the Valsalva maneuver, and a 20-min tilt test, and electrochemical skin conductance measurement at rest (Sudoscan). Student's t tests were used to assess group differences, and bivariate correlations and stepwise linear regressions to explore associations between autonomic function, cognition, depression, apathy, and fatigue. RESULTS Compared to controls, patients who had significant impairment (p < 0.05) in cognition, higher depression, apathy, and fatigue, more autonomic symptoms and objective autonomic dysfunction, reduced deep breathing heart rate variability [expiratory-to-inspiratory (E/I) ratio], prolonged pressure recovery time, and lower blood pressure in Valsalva late phase II and phase IV, while 24.1% had orthostatic hypotension in the tilt test. Autonomic parameters significantly correlated with cognitive and neuropsychiatric outcomes, systolic blood pressure during the Valsalva maneuver predicting apathy and depression. The E/I ratio was the main predictor of cognitive performance (17.6% for verbal fluency to 32.8% for visual memory). CONCLUSION Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction is associated with cognitive and neuropsychiatric impairment in LBD, heart rate variability during deep breathing and systolic blood pressure changes during the Valsalva procedure are the main predictors of neuropsychological performance and depression/apathy symptoms, respectively.

High Cervical Spinal Cord Stimulation: A One Year Follow-Up Study on Motor and Non-Motor Functions in Parkinson's Disease. Brain Sci 2019; 9:brainsci9040078.

Abstract
Background: The present study investigated the effectiveness of stimulation applied at cervical levels on pain and Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptoms using either tonic or burst stimulation mode. Methods: Tonic high cervical spinal cord stimulation (T-HCSCS) was applied on six PD patients suffering from low back pain and failed back surgery syndrome, while burst HCSCS (B-HCSCS) was applied in twelve PD patients to treat primarily motor deficits. Stimulation was applied percutaneously with quadripolar or octapolar electrodes. Clinical evaluation was assessed by the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and the Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) scale. Pain was evaluated by a visual analog scale. Evaluations of gait and of performance in a cognitive motor task were performed in some patients subjected to B-HCSCS. One patient who also suffered from severe autonomic cardiovascular dysfunction was investigated to evaluate the effectiveness of B-HCSCS on autonomic functions. Results: B-HCSCS was more effective and had more consistent effects than T-HCSCS in reducing pain. In addition, B-HCSCS improved UPDRS scores, including motor sub-items and tremor and H&Y score. Motor benefits appeared quickly after the beginning of B-HCSCS, in contrast to long latency improvements induced by T-HCSCS. A slight decrease of effectiveness was observed 12 months after implantation. B-HCSCS also improved gait and ability of patients to correctly perform a cognitive–motor task requiring inhibition of a prepared movement. Finally, B-HCSCS ameliorated autonomic control in the investigated patient. Conclusions: The results support a better usefulness of B-HCSCS compared to T-HCSCS in controlling pain and specific aspects of PD motor and non-motor deficits for at least one year.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite its negative impact on quality of life, fatigue in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains an under-recognized issue and the underlying pathology is undetermined. OBJECTIVE To contribute at understanding the pathogenesis of fatigue in a naturalistic cohort of cognitively intact PD patients. METHODS In a Caucasian population of PD patients (n = 27), we evaluated to what extent fatigue (quantified as PFS-16 score) is associated with PD duration and with autonomic dysfunction, studied by both MIBG scintigraphy and autonomic nervous system testing. The latter included the head-up tilt test, Valsalva maneuver, deep breathing, and handgrip tests. RESULTS PFS-16 score correlated with disease duration (R = 0.57, p = 0.002). Fatigue showed a clear correlation with deep breathing test (R = - 0.53, p = 0.004) but not with the MIBG H/M ratios. CONCLUSIONS Our data are consistent with a multifactorial pathogenesis of fatigue and with effects of dopamine depletion in PD-related fatigue; on the other hand, our findings do not support a role for sympathetic denervation in PD-related fatigue.

Abstract
OJECTIVE To investigate cardiovascular and sudomotor autonomic functions in patients with idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) during wakefulness compared to patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy subjects. METHODS Drug-naïve iRBD patients, PD patients and healthy controls underwent cardiovascular function tests including head-up tilt test (HUTT), Valsalva maneuver, deep breathing, hand grip, and cold face. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis was performed in the frequency domain using an autoregressive algorithm in the rest supine condition and during HUTT. Sudomotor function was assessed through Sudoscan. RESULTS Fourteen iRBD patients, 17 PD patients and 12 healthy controls were included in the study. In the supine resting condition, the baseline values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were comparable in all groups. At Valsalva maneuver, iRBD patients and PD patients showed an overshoot which was significantly lower than controls. In addition, iRBD patients showed a significant reduction of sinus arrhythmia at deep breathing compared to controls. Cardiovascular responses to cold face were similar in the three groups while isometric handgrip was significantly reduced in PD patients with respect to healthy subjects. Spectral analysis of HRV showed no significant differences among iRBD, PD patients and controls in the supine resting condition; whereas during HUTT the low-frequency (LF) component of HRV was significantly higher in controls with respect to iRBD and the high-frequency (HF) component was significantly higher in iRBD patients compared to controls. In addition, a significant increase in the LF/HF ratio in healthy subjects was detected compared to iRBD. Finally, four out of 14 iRBD patients (29%) and nine of 17 PD patients (53%) had a sudomotor dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Our findings obtained in de novo iRBD and PD patients indicate that some alterations of the autonomic nervous system are shared by both groups of patients, reinforcing the close link between the two pathologies, and show an autonomic fragility during wakefulness in iRBD that mainly arises under stress conditions.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the autonomic neural function in Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) with head-up tilt test and spectral analysis of cardiovascular parameters. This study included 15 patients with MSA, 15 patients with PD, and 29 healthy control (HC) subjects. High frequency power of the RR interval (RR-HF), the ratio of low frequency power of RR interval to RR-HF (RR-LF/HF) and LF power of systolic BP were used to evaluate parasympathetic, cardiac sympathetic and vasomotor sympathetic functions, respectively. Both patients with PD and MSA showed orthostatic hypotension and lower parasympathetic function (RR-HF) at tilt position as compared to HC subjects. Cardiac sympathetic function (RR-LF/HF) was significantly high in patients with PD than MSA at supine position. RR-LF/HF tended to increase in MSA and HC, but decreased in PD by tilting. Consequently, the change of the ratio due to tilting (ΔRR-LF/HF) was significantly lower in patients with PD than in HC subjects. Further analysis showed that compared to mild stage of PD, RR-LF/HF at the supine position was significantly higher in advanced stage. By tilting, it was increased in mild stage and decreased in the advanced stage of PD, causing ΔRR-LF/HF to decrease significantly in the advanced stage. Thus, we demonstrated that spectral analysis of cardiovascular parameters is useful to identify sympathetic and parasympathetic disorders in MSA and PD. High cardiac sympathetic function at the supine position, and its reduction by tilting might be a characteristic feature of PD, especially in the advanced stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The deep breathing test (DB) and Valsalva maneuver (VM) are used to detect autonomic dysfunction. The VM induces sympathetically mediated changes in blood pressure (phase II late, phase IV, and recovery time) and both tests induce vagally mediated heart rate changes. There is limited information on effects of key variables, compliance with testing and the effects of non-compliance This study has twin goals of evaluating compliance with standard instructions and the effects of changes in key variables. We also evaluated the effect of position on the VM. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty healthy males performed DB at air exchange volumes of 50, 80, and 100% of vital lung capacity (VLC). The VM was performed at 40 and 30mmHg expiratory pressure for 15 and 10s in sitting and supine position, respectively. RESULTS Participants performed DB at lower volumes than intended and were not able to maintain 100% VLC for the duration of the test. The DB heart rate response decreased 6.3beats/min per liter below VLC. During the VM, subjects blew at lower pressures than instructed. The VM responses were significantly larger with longer expiration durations, higher expiratory pressures and when performed sitting. Performing the VM at 40mmHg for 10s in supine position increased the odds ratio of experiencing flat-top responses. CONCLUSION The ability of subjects to strictly comply with methodological guidelines significantly improves results. Recording of both test parameters and ensuing results is suggested.

Abstract
Nonmotor symptoms (NMS) are integral to Parkinson's disease (PD) and the management can often be challenging. In spite of the growing evidence that NMS have a key impact on the quality of life of patients and caregivers, most clinical trials still focus on motor symptoms as primary outcomes. As a consequence strong evidence-based treatment recommendations for NMS occurring in PD are spare. In this chapter, the current data addressing the treatment of major NMS such as sleep, cognitive and autonomic dysfunction, and depression and anxiety are described.

Abstract
Measurement of disease state is essential in both clinical practice and research in order to assess the severity and progression of a patient's disease status, effect of treatment, and alterations in other relevant factors. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex disorder expressed through many motor and nonmotor manifestations, which cause disabilities that can vary both gradually over time or come on suddenly. In addition, there is a wide interpatient variability making the appraisal of the many facets of this disease difficult. Two kinds of measure are used for the evaluation of PD. The first is subjective, inferential, based on rater-based interview and examination or patient self-assessment, and consist of rating scales and questionnaires. These evaluations provide estimations of conceptual, nonobservable factors (e.g., symptoms), usually scored on an ordinal scale. The second type of measure is objective, factual, based on technology-based devices capturing physical characteristics of the pathological phenomena (e.g., sensors to measure the frequency and amplitude of tremor). These instrumental evaluations furnish appraisals with real numbers on an interval scale for which a unit exists. In both categories of measures, a broad variety of tools exist. This chapter aims to present an up-to-date summary of the most relevant characteristics of the most widely used scales, questionnaires, and technological resources currently applied to the assessment of PD. The review concludes that, in our opinion: (1) no assessment methods can substitute the clinical judgment and (2) subjective and objective measures in PD complement each other, each method having strengths and weaknesses.

Identification of genetic factors that modify motor performance and body weight using Collaborative Cross mice. Sci Rep 2015; 5:16247.

Abstract
Evidence has emerged that suggests a link between motor deficits, obesity and many neurological disorders. However, the contributing genetic risk factors are poorly understood. Here we used the Collaborative Cross (CC), a large panel of newly inbred mice that captures 90% of the known variation among laboratory mice, to identify the genetic loci controlling rotarod performance and its relationship with body weight in a cohort of 365 mice across 16 CC strains. Body weight and rotarod performance varied widely across CC strains and were significantly negatively correlated. Genetic linkage analysis identified 14 loci that were associated with body weight. However, 45 loci affected rotarod performance, seven of which were also associated with body weight, suggesting a strong link at the genetic level. Lastly, we show that genes identified in this study overlap significantly with those related to neurological disorders and obesity found in human GWA studies. In conclusion, our results provide a genetic framework for studies of the connection between body weight, the central nervous system and behavior.
