Abstract
Autonomic dysfunction (AutD) is common and debilitating in Parkinson's disease (PD). Predictors of AutD are unclear, and data are limited on the biological relevance of AutD in PD. Here, we evaluated the baseline prevalence and 2-year longitudinal assessment of AutD in patients with de novo PD compared with healthy controls (HC). Moreover, we also assessed various variables that could predict longitudinal changes in AutD in early PD. Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) was utilized to evaluate untreated PD participants at baseline and HC. Autonomic function was assessed using the 25-item Scale for Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease-Autonomic (SCOPA-AUT) score at baseline and 2 years. Clinical and biological variables were measured for their correlations with AuD for up to 2 years. Two hundred and ninety PD subjects and 170 HC were enrolled and followed for 2 years. SCOPA-AUT mean (SD) scores increased from baseline 8.49 ± 5.23 to 10.12 ± 5.77 at year 2 in PD subjects (p < 0.001) versus from 4.98 ± 3.34 to 5.03 ± 374 in HC (p = 0.496), with a significant difference between the groups (p < 0.001). Among them, 242 PD participants and 151 HC completed the SCOPA-AUT assessment, including sexual function. In the multivariate analysis, a higher baseline SCOPA-AUT score was associated with higher baseline MDS-UPDRS Part I scores (p < 0.001). Moreover, a longitudinal increase in autonomic function severity was associated with the white race (p = 0.010) at baseline. In contrast, there was no association with the CSF biomarkers. MDS-UPDRS Part I score may predict AuD in patients with early PD, which is correlated with nonmotor symptoms and race.

Abstract
Autonomic symptoms (AS) are critical in Parkinson's disease (PD). We aimed to determine the relative significance of clinical factors allowing predictions about incidence of AS, and examine AS profiles among PD patients by motor subtype and its relation to AS. The cross-sectional data of a multicentre sample, including 714 PD patients and 194 healthy controls from Parkinson's Progression Marker Initiative study and Pingchan granule study were analyzed, stratified by PD subtypes [postural instability and gait disturbances (PIGD), tremor dominant (TD), and indeterminate] and domain autonomic dysfunction. Compared with healthy controls, PD patients scored higher in the total Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease-Autonomic dysfunction score and in several domain scores in particular, and there was a significant overlap in domain AS. Risk factors of individual domain autonomic dysfunction were heterogeneous. PIGD and indeterminate were the predominant subtypes in pupillomotor and thermoregulatory symptoms. TD and indeterminate were more likely to suffer from cardiovascular problem. The odd in sexual dysfunction was significant for PIGD. Gastrointestinal and urinary symptoms seemed not to be associated with a specific subtype. Our study demonstrated that AS were highly heterogeneous and 3 subtypes differed in autonomic performance, providing clues to understand mechanisms underlying AS in PD.

Beyond shallow feelings of complex affect: Non-motor correlates of subjective emotional experience in Parkinson's disease. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0281959. [PMID: 36827296 PMCID: PMC9955984 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0281959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 02/04/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Affective disorders in Parkinson's disease (PD) concern several components of emotion. However, research on subjective feeling in PD is scarce and has produced overall varying results. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the subjective emotional experience and its relationship with autonomic symptoms and other non-motor features in PD patients. We used a battery of film excerpts to elicit Amusement, Anger, Disgust, Fear, Sadness, Tenderness, and Neutral State, in 28 PD patients and 17 healthy controls. Self-report scores of emotion category, intensity, and valence were analyzed. In the PD group, we explored the association between emotional self-reported scores and clinical scales assessing autonomic dysregulation, depression, REM sleep behavior disorder, and cognitive impairment. Patient clustering was assessed by considering relevant associations. Tenderness occurrence and intensity of Tenderness and Amusement were reduced in the PD patients. Tenderness occurrence was mainly associated with the overall cognitive status and the prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms. In contrast, the intensity and valence reported for the experience of Amusement correlated with the prevalence of urinary symptoms. We identified five patient clusters, which differed significantly in their profile of non-motor symptoms and subjective feeling. Our findings further suggest the possible existence of a PD phenotype with more significant changes in subjective emotional experience. We concluded that the subjective experience of complex emotions is impaired in PD. Non-motor feature grouping suggests the existence of disease phenotypes profiled according to specific deficits in subjective emotional experience, with potential clinical implications for the adoption of precision medicine in PD. Further research on larger sample sizes, combining subjective and physiological measures of emotion with additional clinical features, is needed to extend our findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Studies on gait and autonomic dysfunction have been insufficient so far, particularly de novo Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of this study was to identify the association between gait dynamics and autonomic dysfunction in patients with de novo PD. METHODS A total 38 patients with de novo PD were retrospectively included in this study. Details of patients' dysautonomia were assessed using the Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease-Autonomic Dysfunction (SCOPA-AUT). For assessment of gait, a computerized gait analysis was performed using the GAITRite system for forward gait and backward gait. High SCOPA-AUT score (PD-HSAS) group and low SCOPA-AUT score (PD-LSAS) group were identified according to their SCOPA-AUT scores. RESULTS Nineteen (50%) patients with high SCOPA-AUT scores above median value (12.5) were assigned into the PD-HSAS group and others were assigned to the PD-LSAS group. Compared with the PD-LSAS group, the PD-HSAS group exhibited slower gait, shorter stride, decreased cadence, increased double support phase, decreased swing phase, and increased variability in swing time. Total SCOPA-AUT score showed significantly positive correlations with gait variability and instability but a negative correlation with gait hypokinesia. In subdomain analysis, urinary dysautonomia was highly associated with impairment of gait dynamics. All significant results were found to be more remarkable in backward gait than in forward gait. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that alteration in gait dynamics, especially backward gait, is highly associated with autonomic dysfunction in patients with de novo PD.

Abstract
Background Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common non-motor symptoms but are often overlooked in Parkinson's disease (PD). The prevalence of LUTS in PD is inconsistent among different studies. Objective To estimate the prevalence of LUTS, urinary incontinence, and urinary retention in PD patients, then, investigate potential sources of inconsistency in prevalence estimation. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases from inception to May 2022. Studies reporting the prevalence of LUTS or LUTS subtypes in PD were included. Pooled prevalence of LUTS, LUTS subtypes, urinary incontinence, and urinary retention was calculated via random-effects models. Meta-regression and subgroup analyses were performed. Results Of 7,358 studies after duplicate removal, a total of 73 studies comprising 14,937 PD patients were included. The pooled prevalence of LUTS was 61% (95% CI 53–69; 27 studies; n = 5,179), while the pooled prevalence of storage symptoms and voiding symptoms was 59% (44–73; 9 studies; n = 798) and 24% (14–33; 11 studies; n = 886), respectively. The pooled prevalence of urinary incontinence, retention and post-void residual (PVR) volume ≥ 100 ml were 30% (95% CI 22–39; 21 studies; n = 6,054), 27% (17–37; 14 studies; n = 1,991), and 4% (1–7; 5 studies; n = 439), respectively. The prevalence of LUTS, urinary incontinence, or urinary retention was significantly associated with diagnostic methods. Conclusion LUTS and its subtypes present in a significant proportion of PD patients. It is necessary to use standardized and validated methods to detect and screen LUTS and its subtypes.

Abstract
Autonomic dysregulation in Parkinson’s disease (PD) can precede motor deficits and is associated with reduced quality of life, disease progression, and increased mortality. Objective markers of autonomic involvement in PD are limited. Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) is a rapid ophthalmic technique that can quantify small nerve damage in a range of peripheral and autonomic neuropathies. Here we investigated whether CCM can be used to assess autonomic symptoms in PD. Based on the scale for outcomes in Parkinson’s disease for autonomic symptoms (SCOPA-AUT), patients with PD were classified into those without autonomic symptoms (AutD-N), with single (AutD-S), and multiple (AutD-M) domain autonomic dysfunction. Corneal nerve fiber pathology was quantified using CCM, and the relationship with autonomic symptoms was explored. The study enrolled 71 PD patients and 30 control subjects. Corneal nerve fiber density (CNFD), corneal nerve branch density (CNBD), corneal nerve fiber length (CNFL), and CNBD/CNFD ratio were lower in PD patients with autonomic symptoms compared to those without autonomic symptoms. Autonomic symptoms correlated positively with CNFD (r = −0.350, p = 0.004), and were not related to Levodopa equivalent daily dose (r = 0.042, p = 0.733) after adjusting for age, disease severity, disease duration or cognitive function. CCM parameters had high sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing patients with PD with and without autonomic symptoms. PD patients with autonomic symptoms have corneal nerve loss, and CCM could serve as an objective ophthalmic imaging technique to identify patients with PD and autonomic symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE White matter (WM) tract-specific changes may precede gray matter loss in isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). We aimed to evaluate tract-specific WM changes using tract-specific statistical analysis (TSSA) and their correlation with clinical variables in iRBD patients. METHODS This was a cross-sectional single-center study of 50 polysomnography-confirmed iRBD patients and 20 age- and sex-matched controls. We used TSSA to identify tract-specific fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) in fourteen major fiber tracts and analyzed between-group differences in these values. Correlations between FA or MD values and clinical variables, including RBD symptom severity, depression and cognition, were evaluated. RESULTS Patients with iRBD showed lower FA in the right anterior thalamic radiation (ATR) and higher MD in the bilateral ATR and right inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IF-OF) than controls after adjusting for age, sex, and years of education. MD values in the IF-OF positively correlated with scores on the Korean version of the Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Questionnaire-Hong Kong (RBDQ-KR, p = 0.042) and the Korean version of the geriatric depression scale (GDS-K, p = 0.002) in iRBD patients. Only GDS-K scores independently correlated with IF-OF MD values after adjusting for RBDQ-KR scores (adjusted p = 0.026). CONCLUSION This study suggests WM microstructural disruption in the bilateral ATR and right IF-OF in patients with iRBD and that alterations in the IF-OF may contribute to depressive symptoms.

Abstract
Background and Purpose Cognitive impairments are common in isolated rapid-eye-movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), in which the cholinergic system may play an important role. This study aimed to characterize the cortical cholinergic activity using resting-state functional connectivity (FC) of the nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM) according to the cognitive status of iRBD patients. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 33 patients with polysomnography-confirmed iRBD and 20 controls underwent neuropsychological evaluations and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Thirteen of the iRBD patients had mild cognitive impairment (iRBD-MCI), and the others were age-matched patients with normal cognition (iRBD-NC). The seed-to-voxel NBM–cortical FC was compared among the patients with iRBD-MCI, patients with iRBD-NC, and controls. Correlations between average values of significant clusters and cognitive function scores were calculated in the patients with iRBD. Results There were group differences in the FC of the NBM with the left lateral occipital cortex and lingual gyrus (adjusted for age, sex, and education level). The strength of FC was lower in the iRBD-MCI group than in the iRBD-NC and control groups (each post-hoc p<0.001). The average NBM–lateral occipital cortex FC was positively correlated with the memory-domain score in iRBD patients. Conclusions The results obtained in this study support that cortical cholinergic activity is impaired in iRBD patients with MCI. FC between NBM and posterior regions may play a central role in the cognitive function of these patients.

Abstract
The presence of autonomic symptoms are a common part of the symptomatology of Parkinsońs disease (PD), with the potential to impact the quality of life of patients. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of autonomic symptoms among Faroese PD patients compared to a control group, using the Scales for Outcome in Parkinson's Disease - Autonomic (SCOPA-AUT), and to determine the relationship between autonomic and motor symptoms in PD patients using the Unified Parkinsońs Disease Rating Scale - Part III (UPDRS) and Hoehn and Yahr Scale (H&Y). The study included 54 PD patients and 190 control individuals which were unaffected relatives. The mean SCOPA-AUT scores were significantly higher for PD patients in gastrointestinal (OR = 1.62), urinary (OR = 1.38), cardiovascular (OR = 1.65), thermoregulatory (OR = 1.54) and sexual dysfunction (OR = 1.71) scores, as well as the total score (OR = 1.26). UPDRS scores were significant correlated with SCOPA-AUT scores (p = 0.015), while H&Y scores were not (p = 0.103). In conclusion, PD patients experience an increased frequency of autonomic symptoms compared with controls and the frequency is associated with the motor symptoms assessed with UPDRS. Our findings are consistent with similar studies and our current understanding of PD pathology.

Abstract
The risk factors of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with de novo Parkinson’s disease (PD) remain unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare motor and non-motor symptoms between de novo patients with PD with and without MCI. Moreover, detailed relationships between each cognitive deficit and other clinical characteristics in de novo patients with PD were investigated. Consecutive patients with de novo PD were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Motor symptoms were assessed using the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part-III and the Hoehn and Yahr (HY) stage. Non-motor symptoms including depression, anxiety, fatigue, and autonomic dysfunction were measured using representative questionnaires. Motor symptoms, depression, and dysautonomia were associated with MCI in de novo patients with PD. Compared with the non-MCI group with PD, the MCI group with PD had higher scores of UPDRS-III, HY stage, depression, and dysautonomia, but not fatigue or anxiety. Both UPDRS-III and HY stage were significantly linked to all cognitive deficits except attention. Logistic regression analysis showed that depression was associated with memory, visuospatial, and executive impairment, and dysautonomia was related to visuospatial and executive impairment. The results of this study suggest that cognitive impairment in PD might have a different relationship pattern to the motor and some non-motor symptoms.

Abstract
Abstract
Study Objectives
Patients with isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) are known to be at risk of neurodegenerative diseases but the time process of neurodegeneration remains unclear and its ethnic difference is rarely discussed. The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical manifestation of iRBD according to disease duration in a Korean cohort.
Methods
Patients who had been diagnosed with iRBD for at least 5 years were tracked and those currently remaining as iRBD were invited for motor, autonomic, olfactory, color discrimination, and cognitive tests. Cross-sectional comparison between patients with iRBD with modest disease duration (5–9.9 years) and long disease duration (≥10 years) was conducted.
Results
There were total of 198 patients with iRBD (135 males, 68.2%) tracked, whose average age at diagnosis was 65.9 years. Thirty-three had developed parkinsonism and 17 had developed dementia, resulting in a phenoconversion risk of 35.7% at 10 years. Hazard rate showed a gradually increasing trend over time, beginning from 2.1 conversions per year to 8.5 at 10 years. Patients with iRBD with a long disease duration (n = 19) had slightly higher motor scores than those with a modest duration (n = 82). However, they showed no difference in the frequency of motor abnormality or other clinical markers.
Conclusions
There is a possible racial or geographical difference of phenoconversion risk. The progression of neurodegeneration might be very subtle in that patients with iRBD with longer disease duration do not necessarily show higher frequency of neurodegeneration markers.

Abstract
Autonomic dysfunction (AutD) is one of the non-motor symptoms (NMSs) in Parkinson's disease (PD). To investigate the prevalence and clinical features of AutD in Chinese patients with PD, a large multicenter cohort of 2,556 individuals with PD were consecutively involved in the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Multicenter Database and Collaborative Network in China (PD-MDCNC) between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019. The assessment of AutD was performed using the Scale for Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease for Autonomic Symptoms (SCOPA-AUT). The evaluation of motor symptoms and other NMSs were performed using well-established scales recommended by the Movement Disorder Society. We found that out of 2,556 patients with PD, 2,333 patients with PD (91.28%) had AutD. Compared with the group of patients with PD without AutD, the group of patients with PD with AutD had older age, older age of onset, longer disease duration, more severe motor symptoms, motor complications, and more frequent NMSs. As for partial correlation analysis, the total SCOPA-AUT score was significantly and positively associated with motor severity scales [Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) total score] and some of the NMSs [Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Questionnaire (RBD), Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Hamilton Depression Scale], Fatigue Severity Scale, and Parkinson's disease questionnaire. PD Sleep Scale was significantly and negatively correlated with AutD. With logistic regression analysis for potentially related factors, age, UPDRS total score, RBD, hyposmia, depression, and fatigue may be associated with PD with AutD. In conclusion, our multicenter cohort study reported the high prevalence of AutD in Chinese PD and revealed the associated factors of PD with AutD.

Abstract
123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) cardiac scintigraphy was performed to assess cardiac autonomic dysfunction and demonstrate its correlation with clinical and polysomnographic characteristics in patients with isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder. All subjects including 39 patients with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder and 17 healthy controls underwent MIBG cardiac scintigraphy for cardiac autonomic dysfunction assessment. The isolated REM sleep behavior disorder was confirmed by in-lab overnight polysomnography. A receiver operating curve was constructed to determine the cut-off value of the early and delayed heart-to-mediastinum ratio in patients with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder. Based on each cut-off value, a comparison analysis of REM sleep without atonia was performed by dividing isolated REM sleep behavior disorder patients into two groups. MIBG uptake below the cut-off value was associated with higher REM sleep without atonia. The lower heart-to-mediastinum ratio had significantly higher REM sleep without atonia (%), both with cut-off values of early (11.0 ± 5.6 vs. 29.3 ± 23.2%, p = 0.018) and delayed heart-to-mediastinum ratio (9.1 ± 4.3 vs. 30.0 ± 22.9%, p = 0.011). These findings indicate that reduced MIBG uptake is associated with higher REM sleep without atonia in isolated REM sleep behavior disorder.

Abstract
PURPOSE The composite autonomic symptom scale-31 (COMPASS-31) is a self-rated questionnaire that evaluates diverse autonomic symptoms. In the present study, we developed the Korean version of the COMPASS-31 (K-COMPASS-31) with appropriate translation, and verified its reliability and internal and external validity in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS The original COMPASS-31 was translated independently into Korean by two bilingual neurologists. Test-retest reliability was evaluated at a 2-week interval. We investigated the correlations between the K-COMPASS-31, the scale for outcomes in PD-autonomic (SCOPA-AUT), and the results of an autonomic function test (AFT), respectively. RESULTS A total of 90 patients with PD (47 females; mean age, 63.4 ± 10.8 years) were enrolled. The K-COMPASS-31 showed excellent test-retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient = 0.874, p < 0.001) and internal validity (Cronbach's α-coefficient = 0.878). The COMPASS-31 was positively correlated with SCOPA-AUT (r = 0.609, p < 0.001) and the results of the AFT. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the K-COMPASS-31 showed excellent reliability and validity for the assessment of autonomic symptoms in PD patients. The K-COMPASS-31 is an easy-to-repeat and widely used tool for investigating autonomic dysfunction in various neurologic disorders and enables comparison of autonomic dysfunction among neurologic disorders. We recommend the K-COMPASS-31 as a valid instrument for use in clinical practice for patients with PD.

Abstract
Fatigue is a common and disabling non-motor symptom (NMS) of Parkinson's disease (PD); however, it has been poorly understood in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). We investigated the association between fatigue, clinical features, and other NMS in patients with probable PSP. In 72 probable PSP patients, fatigue was investigated using the Parkinson Fatigue Scale (PFS). Further, all patients were evaluated using the PSP rating scale (PSPRS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB), PD Sleep Scale (PDSS), NMS scale (NMSS), PD Questionnaire-39 summary index (PDQ-39 SI), and Scale for outcomes in PD-Autonomic (SCOPA-AUT). The prevalence of fatigue assessed by PFS was 38.9% (28/72) in patients with PSP. The secondary fatigue was defined as fatigued patients with depression and/or sleep disturbances. We divided the patients into primary (n = 15), secondary (n = 13), and non-fatigue groups. There were no differences in age, sex, disease duration, and PSPRS, PDSS, MMSE, and FAB scores among the three groups. The primary fatigue group had higher scores in PDQ-39 SI compared to the non-fatigue group. The secondary fatigue group showed higher scores in NMSS, PDQ-39 SI, and SCOPA-AUT compared to the non-fatigue group. PFS was positively correlated with NMSS and PDQ-39 SI and SCOPA-AUT. Fatigue is common in patients with PSP and is associated with the NMS and the quality of life in these patients. The present study provides meaningful insight into fatigue in patients with PSP.

Cardiac sympathetic burden reflects Parkinson disease burden, regardless of high or low orthostatic blood pressure changes. NPJ PARKINSONS DISEASE 2021; 7:71.

Abstract
Reduced uptake of 123I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) and orthostatic hypotension (OH) are independently associated with worse clinical outcomes of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, their interactive influence on PD has not been studied. The role of 123I-MIBG myocardial uptake, as a biomarker of PD severity, was investigated, conditional on the mediating effects of OH. A total of 227 PD patients were enrolled. Their motor and nonmotor aspects were assessed with standardized tools. Global disease burden was estimated by averaging the scaled z-scores of the assessment tools. Every patient went through 123I-MIBG scan, and OH was evaluated with the head-up tilt-test. The mediating role of orthostatic blood pressure changes (ΔBP) on the association between cardiac sympathetic denervation and disease burden was investigated. Low heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio with less than 1.78 was seen in 69.6% of the patient population, and 22.9% of patients had OH. Low H/M ratio was associated with OH, and these patients had worse disease burden than subjects with normal 123I-MIBG uptake (global composite z-score: normal 123I-MIBG vs. abnormal 123I-MIBG; -0.3 ± 0.5 vs. 0.1 ± 0.7; p < 0.001). The mediation models, controlled for age and disease duration, revealed that the delayed H/M ratio and global composite score were negatively associated, irrespective of orthostatic ΔBP. Adverse relationship between cardiac sympathetic denervation and disease burden was shown without any interference from orthostatic blood pressure fluctuations. This result suggested that extracranial cardiac markers might reflect disease burden, regardless of labile blood pressure influence.

Abstract
Background Although iron dyshomeostasis is associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis, the relationship between iron deposition and non-motor involvement in PD is not fully understood. In this study, we investigated basal ganglia and extra-basal ganglia system iron contents and their correlation with non-motor symptoms in drug-naïve, early-stage PD patients. Methods We enrolled 14 drug-naïve, early-stage PD patients and 12 age/sex-matched normal controls. All participants underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging to obtain the effective transverse relaxation rate (R2*) and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). Deep brain structures, including the nucleus accumbens, caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, thalamus, hippocampus, and amygdala, were delineated using the FSL-FIRST; the substantia nigra, red nucleus, and dentate nucleus were segmented manually. Inter-group differences in R2* and QSM values, as well as their association with clinical parameters of PD, were investigated. Results Substantia nigra and putamen R2* values were significantly higher in PD patients than in normal controls, despite no significant difference in QSM values. Regarding the non-motor symptom scales, PD sleep scale score negatively correlated with R2* values in the red nucleus and right amygdala, Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson’s disease-Autonomic scores were positively correlated with R2* values in the right amygdala and left hippocampus, and cardiovascular sub-score of Non-Motor Symptoms Scale for PD was positively associated with the QSM value in the left hippocampus. Conclusion In this study, iron content in the extra-basal ganglia system was significantly correlated with non-motor symptoms, especially sleep problems and dysautonomia, even in early-stage PD.

Abstract
AIM Clinical implications for motor phenotypes of Parkinson's disease (PD) remain to be further elucidated, particularly at the early stages of the disease. We aimed to compare the non-motor and fall-related features between tremor-dominant (TD) and postural instability-gait difficulty (PIGD) subtypes in patients with early PD. METHODS PD was categorized into TD, intermediate and PIGD types, according to the literature. Not only motor symptoms, but also non-motor symptoms for global cognition, depression, anxiety, fatigue and dysautonomia, were measured in detail. In addition, fall-related features, including a previous history of falls, fear of fall measurement and gait freezing were assessed. RESULTS In patients with early PD (disease duration no more than 5 years), 35 patients with TD-type PD and 31 patients with PIGD-type PD were finally evaluated for the study. Compared with the TD group, the PIGD group showed higher fatigue, gastrointestinal dysfunction and fall-related parameter scores. Moreover, the PIGD scores were significantly correlated with all of those symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that PIGD is significantly linked to fatigue, gastrointestinal dysfunction and fall-related features during the early stages of PD.

Abstract
The association of non-motor symptoms (NMSs) with fall-related factors in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains to be further elucidated in the early stages of the disease. Eighty-six patients with less than 5 years of the onset of PD were retrospectively enrolled in the study. We assessed potential fall-related risk factors including (1) a history of falls during the past year (faller versus non-faller), (2) the fear of falling (FoF), and (3) the freezing of gait (FoG). Different types of NMSs were measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Parkinson’s disease Fatigue Scale (PFS), and the Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson’s disease—Autonomic dysfunction (SCOPA-AUT). The faller group (37.2%) showed higher scores for BDI, BAI, PFS, and SCOPA-AUT, compared to the non-faller group. From logistic regression analyses, the prior history of falls was related to the gastrointestinal domain of SCOPA-AUT, FoF was associated with BAI, and gastrointestinal and urinary domains of SCOPA-AUT, and FoG was linked to BAI and gastrointestinal domain of SCOPA-AUT. In conclusion, we found that fall-related risk factors in patients with early PD were highly connected with gastrointestinal dysautonomia.

[PMID: 32498497 PMCID: PMC7280947 DOI: 10.14802/jmd.20009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective We aimed to identify risk factors for falls in patients with de novo Parkinson’s disease (PD). Methods Forty-six patients with de novo PD were retrospectively included in the study. We assessed details on the patients’ motor symptoms as well as non-motor symptoms using several representative scales for global cognition, depression, fatigue, and dysautonomia. Fallers and non-fallers were identified according to their history of falls during the preceding year. Results Twenty-two patients (45.8%) with de novo PD had a history of falls. Compared with the non-faller group, the faller group exhibited higher scores for postural instability/gait difficulty (PIGD), anxiety, fatigue, total dysautonomia, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and thermoregulatory dysfunction. Moreover, logistic regression analysis showed that falling was positively correlated with anxiety and gastrointestinal symptoms but negatively associated with the tremor scores. Conclusion Our findings suggest that falling in patients with de novo PD is significantly associated with PIGD/non-tremor symptoms, anxiety, and gastrointestinal dysfunction.

Subtypes of Sleep Disturbance in Parkinson's Disease Based on the Cross-Culturally Validated Korean Version of Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale-2. J Clin Neurol 2020; 16:66-74. [PMID: 31942760 PMCID: PMC6974820 DOI: 10.3988/jcn.2020.16.1.66] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2019] [Revised: 09/02/2019] [Accepted: 09/02/2019] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the clinimetric properties of the Korean version of Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale-2 (K-PDSS-2) and whether distinct subtypes of sleep disturbance can be empirically identified in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) using the cross-culturally validated K-PDSS-2. METHODS The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, scale precision, and convergent validity of K-PDSS-2 were assessed in a nationwide, multicenter study of 122 patients with PD. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to derive subgroups of patients who experienced similar patterns of sleep-related problems and nocturnal disabilities. RESULTS The total K-PDSS-2 score was 11.67±9.87 (mean±standard deviation) at baseline and 12.61±11.17 at the retest. Cronbach's α coefficients of the total K-PDSS-2 scores at baseline and follow-up were 0.851 and 0.880, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficients over the 2-week study period ranged from 0.672 to 0.848. The total K-PDSS-2 score was strongly correlated with health-related quality of life measures and other corresponding nonmotor scales. LCA revealed three distinct subtypes of sleep disturbance in the study patients: "less-troubled sleepers," "PD-related nocturnal difficulties," and "disturbed sleepers." CONCLUSIONS K-PDSS-2 showed good clinimetric attributes in accordance with previous studies that employed the original version of the PDSS-2, therefore confirming the cross-cultural usefulness of the scale. This study has further documented the first application of an LCA approach for identifying subtypes of sleep disturbance in patients with PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although previous research provides insight into the role of neuroinflammation in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder, the association of this disorder with peripheral blood inflammatory markers remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To investigate inflammatory cytokines in plasma samples in patients with idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder and to explore whether these markers are associated with prodromal symptoms of α-synucleinopathies. METHODS We collected plasma from patients with polysomnographically confirmed idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder without parkinsonism or dementia (n = 54) and from healthy controls (n = 56). The following cytokines were measured: interleukin-1β, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α. The idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder patients underwent sleep, motor, cognitive, olfactory, and autonomic testing. RESULTS The anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-10, levels in the idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder group were significantly upregulated compared to the control group (P = 0.022), but this difference did not withstand Bonferroni correction. The other proinflammatory cytokine levels did not differ between the groups. No correlation was found between the cytokine levels and any clinical variable. CONCLUSIONS Our data do not provide evidence supporting the role of peripheral inflammation in idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder. However, considering the limited statistical power because of the small sample size, further large-scale longitudinal studies with a broader spectrum of cytokines are needed to clarify this issue. © 2019 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
