Article Abstract
A 67-year-old man was referred for fluctuating neuropsychiatric symptoms, featuring depression, delirious episodes, recurrent visual hallucinations and catatonic syndrome associated with cognitive decline. No parkinsonism was found clinically even under neuroleptic treatment. (18)F-FDG PET/CT showed hypometabolism in the posterior associative cortex including the occipital cortex, suggesting Lewy body dementia, but (123)I-FP-CIT SPECT was normal and cardiac (123)I-MIBG imaging showed no signs of sympathetic denervation. Alzheimer's disease was excluded by a normal (18)F-florbetaben PET/CT. This report suggests a rare case of α-synucleinopathy without brainstem involvement, referred to as "cerebral type" of Lewy body disease.

Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), and Parkinson's disease (PD). 14-3-3 proteins act as molecular hubs to regulate protein-protein interactions, which are involved in numerous cellular functions, including cellular signaling, protein folding, and apoptosis. We previously revealed decreased 14-3-3 levels in the brains of human subjects with neurodegenerative diseases.

Background: Delirium derived from dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and the risk of drug hypersensitivity derived from DLB is not well recognized in oncology. To avoid severe side effects caused by antipsychotics, these risks need to be carefully considered by health care providers involved in cancer treatment. The objective of this study is to report the presence of DLB-derived delirium, which is often mixed with ordinary delirium, and its associated hidden risk in cancer treatment.

Clinical Alzheimer's disease is currently characterized by cerebral β-amyloidosis associated with cognitive impairment. However, most cases of Alzheimer's disease are associated with multiple neuropathologies at autopsy. The peripheral protein changes associated with these disease endophenotypes are poorly understood.

Odds ratios (OR) can overestimate risk when the prevalence of outcomes is more than 10%. We compared logistic and modified Poisson models in 5843 National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center decedents to examine associations of apolipoprotein () ε4, age at death, sex, and education with 7 neuropathologies.
