The highest risk of death was seen among patients
with multiple system atrophy with parkinsonism, followed by patients with dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson disease dementia and Parkinson disease, according to the results.
THE Party at NACS will be held at The Joint in the Hard Rock Las Vegas from 7:00 PM to midnight, and will help raise proceeds
for Multiple System Atrophy, a fatal degenerative neurological disorder.
Humanists UK also intends to apply to intervene in a separate assisted dying case in the autumn in support of its member «Omid T», who suffers
from multiple systems atrophy.
From 1991 through 2010, the 461 patients with a synucleinopathy diagnosis included 309 with Parkinson disease, 81 with dementia with Lewy bodies, 55 with Parkinson disease dementia and 16
with multiple system atrophy with parkinsonism.
September 11, 2015: The Rock N» Roll Chef Kerry Simon lost his battle with

A new article published by JAMA Neurology compares survival rates among patients with synucleinopathies, including Parkinson disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson disease dementia and
multiple system atrophy with parkinsonism, with individuals in the general population.
The test could enable earlier diagnosis of a group of degenerative brain diseases called synucleinopathies, which include Parkinson's disease, Lewy Body dementia, and
multiple system atrophy.
As published this week in Nucleic Acids Research, they have discovered a mechanism that regulates the expression of alpha - synuclein, a protein linked to Parkinson's disease and
multiple system atrophy (MSA).
The research from Tartaglia and collaborators is particularly relevant for patients with
multiple system atrophy (MSA).
Identifying these factors is relevant for further understanding Parkinson's disease and
multiple system atrophy,» adds Elias Bechara, CRG researcher and one of the authors of the article.
Although our method revealed several candidates, we decided to test the ones that are more relevant for Parkinson's disease and
multiple system atrophy,» explains Gian Gaetano Tartaglia.
Lewy bodies (LB) and other intracellular α - synuclein (AS) aggregates accumulate in the aging nervous system, and a high burden of such aggregates are hallmark neuropathological signs of Parkinson's disease (PD), Lewy body dementia (LBD),
multiple systems atrophy (MSA), and other synucleinopathies.
The latter could be caused by the former, but also by other conditions such as progressive supranuclear palsy (a rare brain disorder that destroys nerve cells) or
multiple system atrophy (a degenerative condition originating in parts of the brain).
