Abstract

The concomitant diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is rare. The aim of the study was to report our experience of patients with both diagnoses. We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with MG and PD, seen at Neurology Department, Modena, Italy from 2000 to 2020. We encountered 12 patients with both diagnoses. All had late onset MG (LOMG) and low Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) severity scores at baseline. In respect of PD assessement, clinical signs were followed and summarized with modified Hoehn and Yahr staging (mHY). Patients were ranked as progressive or non-progressive, according to any change in mHY staging. We compared characteristics and outcome of the patients with age matched myasthenic subjects without PD. The male gender significantly prevailed (p < 0.01) as well as the presence of multiple comorbidities (p < 0.001) in patients with MG associated with PD. In respect of clinical course, MG was benign as most of cases remained stable (66.7%). Six cases showed worsening of mHY scores; only one subject became wheelchair bound by the end of follow up. This uneven progression, at least in our hands, might suggest that MG and PD can evolve independently. Clinicians should be alert about the association of PD and MG since early diagnosis and treatment are essential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Severe non-infectious or non-haemorrhagic brain edema surrounding the electrode represents a rare complication of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) surgery. The aim of this study is to report three patients with advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD) who developed symptomatic brain edema after STN-DBS surgery treated with intravenous steroids with a specific profile of reversible cognitive alterations. Patients were both assessed with a comprehensive neuropsychological battery including attention, memory, visuo-spatial and executive tasks. They were also briefly assessed for emotional and behavioural alterations, and for possible limitations in the activities of daily living. Normative data for an Italian population were available for all neuropsychological tests. The patients were firstly assessed before the surgery (baseline) as soon as they became symptomatic for the post-surgery edema and a few more times in follow-up up to ten months. In all patients we observed the resolution of cognitive deficits within six months after surgery with the corresponding reabsorption of edema at brain CT scans. The appearance of post-DBS edema is a fairly frequent and clinically benign event. However, in some rare cases it can be very marked and lead to important clinical—albeit transient—disturbances. These events can compromise, at least from a psychological point of view, the delicate path of patients who undergo DBS and can prolong the post-operative hospital stay. In this setting it could be helpful to perform a brain CT scan in 2–3 days with the aim of detecting the early appearance of edema and treating it before it can constitute a relevant clinical problem.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Gait and balance disorders in advanced Parkinson's disease (aPD) heavily impact the disease burden. In this prospective observational open‐label study, our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) infusion on balance and gait over a long‐term follow‐up. METHODS: The motor status of 15 aPD patients with balance and gait symptoms was assessed with UPDRS (I–IV) and H&Y at baseline in OFF and ON conditions, and after 52 weeks of LCIG infusion. Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Tinetti Gait & Balance Score (TS), Gait and Falls Questionnaire (G&F‐Q), FOG Questionnaire (FOG‐Q), and New FOG Questionnaire (NFOG‐Q) were used to specifically test balance and gait. RESULTS: UPDRS, H&Y, BBS, TS, G&F‐Q, FOG‐Q, NFOG‐Q improved significantly. All FOG types benefited from LCIG. CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary data show the beneficial effect of LCIG therapy not only on FOG, but also on gait and balance. Results need to be confirmed in larger cohort studies.

Abstract

Background Objective Methods Results Conclusions Dystonia presents a growing concern based on evolving prevalence insights. Previous research found that, in cervical dystonia, high‐frequency repetitive somatosensory stimulation (RSS; HF‐RSS) applied on digital nerves paradoxically diminishes sensorimotor inhibitory mechanisms, whereas low‐frequency RSS (LF‐RSS) increases them. However, direct testing on affected body parts was not conducted.This study aims to investigate whether RSS applied directly to forearm muscles involved in focal hand dystonia can modulate cortical inhibitory mechanisms and clinical symptoms.We applied HF‐RSS and LF‐RSS, the latter either synchronously or asynchronously, on forearm muscles involved in dystonia. Outcome measures included paired‐pulse somatosensory evoked potentials, spatial lateral inhibition measured by double‐pulse somatosensory evoked potentials, short intracortical inhibition tested with transcranial magnetic stimulation, electromyographic activity from dystonic muscles, and behavioral measures of hand function.Both synchronous and asynchronous low‐frequency somatosensory stimulation improved cortical inhibitory interactions, indicated by increased short intracortical inhibition and lateral spatial inhibition, as well as decreased amplitude of paired‐pulse somatosensory evoked potentials. Opposite effects were observed with high‐frequency stimulation. Changes in electrophysiological markers were paralleled by behavioral outcomes: although low‐frequency stimulations improved hand function tests and reduced activation of dystonic muscles, high‐frequency stimulation operated in an opposite direction.Our findings confirm the presence of abnormal homeostatic plasticity in response to RSS in the sensorimotor system of patients with dystonia, specifically in inhibitory circuits. Importantly, this aberrant response can be harnessed for therapeutic purposes through the application of low‐frequency electrical stimulation directly over dystonic muscles. © 2024 The Author(s).
