Article Abstract
Background: Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is a neurodegeneration characterized by asymmetric parkinsonism, dystonia, myoclonus, and apraxia. In the early stage, CBS presents with asymmetric parkinsonism and cortical symptoms (apraxia and alien hand), and neuroimaging finding is often vague, making early clinical differentiation from idiopathic Parkinson disease (IPD) challenging. This study was performed to delineate the specific patterns of cortical hypoperfusion, dopamine transporter (DAT) uptake using dual-phase FP-CIT PET in discriminating between CBS and IPD at early stage.
Patients And Methods: The study enrolled clinically diagnosed CBS (n = 11) and IPD (n = 22) patients (age and sex matched). All participants underwent dual-phase 18 F-FP-CIT PET, and regional SUV ratio (SUVR) was obtained by semiquantitative analysis. The early perfusion imaging and DAT imaging were compared between groups.
Results: The regional SUVRs (early phase) of the frontal lobe, thalamus, cingulate, and caudate were significantly lower in patients with CBS, whereas the SUVR of occipital lobe was lower in the IPD group. The CBS group exhibited more prominent asymmetry than the IPD group, particularly in the perirolandic area, superior frontal gyrus, and anterior parietal lobe in early phase PET. Striatal DAT uptake (delayed phase) revealed that the caudate showed lower SUVR and prominent asymmetry in the CBS group, and the caudate-to-putamen ratio (CP ratio) was significantly lower in CBS patients ( P < 0.001). Among the parameters (early and delayed), the CP ratio in DAT exhibited the most powerful discriminative power from receiver operating characteristic curve comparison (area under curve = 0.983).
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the dual-phase FP-CIT PET is useful in differentiating CBS and IPD in the early stage of the disease, and a lower CP ratio of DAT imaging is highly informative for distinguishing between corticobasal degeneration and IPD.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is marked by alpha-synuclein accumulation and progressive dopaminergic neuron loss. Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics, we uncovered metabolic disturbances in idiopathic PD (iPD) and PD linked to LRRK2, GBA1, and PRKN variants in a Brazilian ethnically diverse cohort, free of comorbidities, in comparison to healthy, age-matched controls. In plasma, significant PD-associated metabolites included histidine, acetate, acetoacetate, glutamine, glucose, lipids and lipoproteins, N-acetyl-glycoproteins, and sarcosine.

Atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APSs) are a group of neurodegenerative disorders that differ from idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) in their clinical presentation, underlying pathology, and response to treatment. APSs include conditions such as multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). These disorders are characterized by a combination of parkinsonian features and additional symptoms, such as autonomic dysfunction, supranuclear gaze palsy, and asymmetric motor symptoms.

Background The independent contribution of each Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) CT or MRI ancillary feature (AF) has not been established. Purpose To evaluate the association of LI-RADS AFs with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and malignancy while adjusting for LI-RADS major features through an individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis. Materials and Methods Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scopus were searched from January 2014 to January 2022 for studies evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of CT and MRI for HCC using LI-RADS version 2014, 2017, or 2018.

Background And Purpose: Long-latency reflex and mixed nerve silent period responses are electrophysiological methods to study the sensorimotor functions of the central nervous system. Here we aimed to study long-latency reflexes and mixed nerve silent period responses in different types of hypokinetic movement disorders in order to find an electrophysiological landmark to distinguish them.
Methods: We included 39 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD), 12 patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA), 10 patients with corticobasal syndrome (CBS), 5 patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and 26 healthy participants.
