A systematic review and meta-analysis on the association between orthostatic hypotension and mild cognitive impairment and dementia in Parkinson's disease

Debora Loureiro et al.

Summary: Orthostatic hypotension is significantly associated with minimal cognitive impairment and dementia in patients with Parkinson's disease, especially in women and those without hypertension.

Adult-onset autosomal dominant leukodystrophy and neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease: lessons from two new Chinese families

Shuai Chen et al.

Summary: This study reports two Chinese families with adult-onset autosomal dominant leukodystrophy (ADLD), which present clinical and neuroimaging features mimicking neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID). The families showed slowly progressive central nervous system symptoms and band-like hyperintensities at the cortico-medullary junction on brain MRI, typical for NIID. Additionally, transient hypoglycemia and dilated pupils were recorded for the first time in ADLD. Whole exome sequencing identified a duplication mutation involving the entire LMNB1 gene.

Clinical presentation and long-term follow-up of dopamine beta hydroxylase deficiency

Tessa Wassenberg et al.

Summary: DBH deficiency is a rare genetic disorder characterized by severe orthostatic hypotension, which can be treated with L-DOPS. Patients show significant improvement with L-DOPS treatment, but orthostatic hypotension, renal function, anemia, and hypomagnesemia remain partially resolved.

The autonomic brain: Multi-dimensional generative hierarchical modelling of the autonomic connectome

James K. Ruffle et al.

Summary: The autonomic nervous system governs the body's internal adaptation to changes in the external environment and is more complex than previously thought. This study applied generative graphical modeling to neuroimaging data to reveal a comprehensive hierarchical representation of the autonomic brain. Graphical analysis discriminated between regions modulated by parasympathetic and sympathetic systems, showing the high-level distributed interactions mediating the roles of the autonomic system.

How much time is needed in clinical practice to reach a diagnosis of clinically established Parkinson's disease?

Malco Rossi et al.

Summary: The study found that in a clinical setting, the time needed to reach a final clinical diagnosis for patients presenting with parkinsonism and/or tremor was 2.75 years. Patients with a positive response to levodopa challenge (LDC) benefited from shorter delays until the final clinical diagnosis (FCD).

Adult polyglucosan body disease-an atypical compound heterozygous with a novel GBE1 mutation

Andreia Carvalho et al.

Summary: This case report describes a 62-year-old Portuguese woman with an atypical presentation of APBD, expanding the phenotypic spectrum of the disorder and suggesting a possible relationship between the genotype and autonomic dysfunction. The patient has compound heterozygous GBE1 mutations, including a novel mutation not previously reported in the literature, with pathogenicity confirmed by sural nerve biopsy.

Familial Autonomic Ganglionopathy Caused by Rare CHRNA3 Genetic Variants

Cyndya A. Shibao et al.

Summary: A novel genetic disease resulting in familial autonomic ganglionopathy with diffuse autonomic failure was discovered, affecting 3 individuals from two unrelated families. Rare pathologic variants in the CHRNA3 gene were identified as the likely cause of their condition.

The Mitochondrial Carnitine Acyl-carnitine Carrier (SLC25A20): Molecular Mechanisms of Transport, Role in Redox Sensing and Interaction with Drugs

Annamaria Tonazzi et al.

Summary: The SLC25A20 transporter, also known as the carnitine acyl-carnitine carrier (CAC), plays a crucial role in the transport of short, medium, and long carbon chain acyl-carnitines. Despite the lack of a clear 3D structure, CAC is one of the most extensively studied transport proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Post-translational modifications have been found to regulate the transport activity of CAC, which can be influenced by drugs, toxic substances, and dietary compounds.

The structural basis of fatty acid elongation by the ELOVL elongases

Laiyin Nie et al.

Summary: VLCFAs are essential for the synthesis of specific substances, with their elongation process catalyzed by ELOVL enzymes. The structure of human ELOVL7 elongase reveals substrate-binding sites and an active site, providing insights for potential treatments of related diseases.

The enzymatic activity of inositol hexakisphosphate kinase controls circulating phosphate in mammals

Yusuke Moritoh et al.

Summary: The enzymatic activity of IP6K is crucial for regulating phosphate levels in mammals, with its inhibition reducing cellular phosphate export and increasing intracellular ATP levels. Inhibition of IP6K lowers plasma phosphate levels and improves kidney functions in chronic kidney disease rats.

Severe deficiency of the voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.2 elevates neuronal excitability in adult mice

Jingliang Zhang et al.

Summary: Severe Na(V)1.2 deficiency unexpectedly results in increased neuronal excitability, which can be reversed by genetic restoration. This neuronal hyperexcitability may serve as a cellular basis underlying Na(V)1.2 deficiency-related seizures.
