Abstract
Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction is one of the supportive clinical features in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). This study aimed to investigate the frequency of postural and postprandial hypotension in people with DLB. The study group comprised 125 patients with DLB (76 females; mean age 78.4 ± 7.1 years) and 122 controls (88 females; mean age 74.4 ± 6.9 years). Postprandial blood pressure changes were assessed by ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure monitorization. Postural blood pressure changes were assessed via the head-up tilt table test. The frequency of postprandial hypotension (PPH) and orthostatic hypotension (OH) was higher in patients with DLB compared to controls (89.4% vs 51.7%; p < 0.001, and 45.5% vs 27.9%; p = 0.004, respectively) whereas the frequency of supine hypertension (SH), and orthostatic hypertension (OHT) was similar. However, SH in non-hypertensive participants was higher in DLB patients than in controls (48.9%, 25.7%; p = 0.035). PPH and OH were independently associated with a diagnosis of DLB (odds ratio [OR]:10.26 confidence interval [CI]%95 3.02-34.82; p < 0.001, and OR:2.22 CI%95 1.2-4.12; p = 0.012, respectively) after adjustment for age, number of medications, use of anti-psychotics drugs, angiotensin receptor blockers, and beta blockers. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that PPH was the most common finding of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction, followed by OH and SH in older patients with DLB. Given the potential complications of postural blood pressure changes and PPH in such patients, cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction should be evaluated in patients with DLB.

[PMID: 39344662 DOI: 10.1111/ene.16486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 08/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 10/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pure autonomic failure (PAF) presents primarily as cardiovascular autonomic failure and may phenoconvert to other neurodegenerative disorders. However, the involvement of other autonomic functions has been poorly evaluated. This study aims to characterize genitourinary and bowel dysfunction and explore their relationship with cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction. METHODS Pure autonomic failure patients underwent cardiovascular autonomic testing and an assessment of pelvic autonomic dysfunction using urinary, sexual symptoms questionnaires and a bladder diary. Demographic, clinical features and related medical comorbidities were assessed. RESULTS Twenty-five patients (10 males) with PAF were included (mean age 71 ± 8 years; disease duration 13 ± 8 years). 96% (24/25) reported lower urinary tract symptoms, of which overactive bladder symptoms were most commonly reported (n = 23; 92%; median overactive subscore 8, interquartile range [IQR] 3-11), followed by voiding difficulties (n = 19; 76%; median low stream subscore 2, IQR 1-3) using the Urinary Symptom Profile; however, only four (16%) required clean intermittent self-catheterization. Sexual dysfunction was common (n = 21; 84%) using the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale. Mild faecal incontinence and constipation were reported. 86% (19/22) had nocturnal polyuria (NP) and the median NP index was 47% (IQR 38%-51%; normal range <33%). 77% (10/13) had voiding dysfunction and 31% (4/13) had post-void residual urine >100 mL. There were no significant correlations between the need for catheterization and the degree of NP with age, disease duration and cardiovascular autonomic parameters (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Nocturnal polyuria, genitourinary and bowel symptoms are commonly seen in PAF. The pathophysiology of NP in PAF is most likely multifactorial and may occur independent of cardiovascular autonomic failure.

Increased sighing during sleep as a marker of multiple system atrophy. NPJ Parkinsons Dis 2024; 10:176. [PMID: 39285169 PMCID: PMC11405711 DOI: 10.1038/s41531-024-00765-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) can be preceded by isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). As excessive sighing during wakefulness is a red flag for MSA in individuals with parkinsonism, we measured sighing during slow wave sleep (N3) and REM sleep as potential biomarkers in 73 participants with MSA, 111 with iRBD, 257 with PD, and 115 controls. The number of sighs/hour of N3 (index) was higher in the MSA group than in the other groups. Sighs were rarer in REM sleep than in N3 sleep. A sigh index greater than 3.4/h of N3 was 95% sensitive in discriminating participants with MSA from controls, and a sigh index greater than 0.8 sigh/h of REM sleep was 87% specific in discriminating participants with MSA from controls. MSA participants with (vs. without) sigh were younger, had a lower apnea-hypopnea index (but no more stridor), and had no other difference in motor, autonomic, cognitive, and sensory symptoms. The sigh index could be used for screening for MSA in the millions of middle-aged persons who receive polysomnography for other purposes. Whether sighing in iRBD predicts preferential conversion towards MSA should be measured in a longitudinal study.

Abstract
Our study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of PD patients stratified by OH status before and after levodopa challenge to explore the hypothesis that OH might serve as a clinical marker for the body-first subtype of PD. Supine and standing blood pressure were measured in a large cross-sectional cohort of PD patients at the OFF status before and after levodopa challenge test (LCT). Based on OH status, patients were divided into three groups: spontaneous OH (SOH), only levodopa-induced OH (LOH) and non-OH (NOH). Clinical characteristics and associated factors were compared among the groups. A total of 928 patients with a mean age of 62.4 years and average disease duration of 7.9 years were included. There were 224 (24.1%) patients with SOH, 321 (34.6%) with LOH, and 383 (41.3%) with NOH. Compared to NOH, both SOH and LOH were associated with older age, motor fluctuations, and probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (pRBD). In addition, OH was more associated with cardiovascular and digestive dysfunction, disease severity and worse quality of life. Results of the current study suggest that PD patients developed OH which is more likely to comorbid with RBD, severe autonomic dysfunction and motor fluctuations, consistent with the body-first subtype of PD.

Phenoconversion in pure autonomic failure: a multicentre prospective longitudinal cohort study. Brain 2024; 147:2440-2448.

Abstract
We aimed to describe the clinical features of patients with pure autonomic failure (PAF) preceding phenoconversion that could be useful as predictive markers for advancing α-synuclein-associated neurodegeneration of the brain. Patients diagnosed with PAF were evaluated at eight centres (seven US-based and one European) and enrolled in a longitudinal observational cohort study (NCT01799915). Subjects underwent detailed assessments of motor, sleep, olfactory, cognitive and autonomic function and were followed prospectively to determine whether they developed parkinsonism or dementia for up to 10 years. We identified incident cases of Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) or multiple system atrophy (MSA) and computed hazard ratios for phenoconversion as functions of clinical features. A total of 209 participants with PAF with a median disease duration of 6 years (IQR: 3-10) were enrolled. Of those, 149 provided follow-up information at an office or telemedicine visit. After a mean follow-up duration of 3 years, 48 (33%) participants phenoconverted (42% to PD, 35% to DLB and 23% to MSA). Faster phenoconversion from study enrolment to any diagnosis was associated with urinary and sexual dysfunction [hazard ratio (HR) 5.9, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.6-22 and HR: 3.6, 95% CI: 1.1-12] followed by subtle motor signs (HR: 2.7, 95% CI: 1.2-6), trouble swallowing (HR 2.5, 95% CI: 1.4-4.5) and changes in speech (HR:2.4, 95% CI:1.1-4.8) at enrolment. Subjects reporting deterioration of handwriting were more likely to phenoconvert to PD (HR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.1-5.9) and those reporting difficulty handling utensils were more likely to phenoconvert to DLB (HR: 6.8, 95% CI: 1.2-38). Patients with a younger age of PAF onset (HR: 11, 95% CI: 2.6-46), preserved olfaction (HR: 8.7, 95% CI: 1.7-45), anhidrosis (HR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1-3.1, P = 0.042) and severe urinary problems (HR 1.6, 95% CI: 1-2.5, P = 0.033) were more likely to phenoconvert to MSA. The best autonomic predictor of PD was a blunted heart rate increase during the tilt-table test (HR: 6.1, 95% CI: 1.4-26). Patients with PAF have an estimated 12% (95% CI: 9-15%) per year annual risk following study entry of phenoconverting to a manifest CNS synucleinopathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) results from deficient reflexive delivery of norepinephrine to cardiovascular receptors in response to decreased cardiac venous return. Lewy body (LB) forms of nOH are characterized by low 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity (a measure of cardiac noradrenergic deficiency), olfactory dysfunction by the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), and increased deposition of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) in dermal sympathetic noradrenergic nerves by the α-syn-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) colocalization index. This observational, cross-sectional study explored whether combinations of these biomarkers specifically identify LB forms of nOH. METHODS Clinical laboratory data were reviewed from patients referred for evaluation at the National Institutes of Health for chronic autonomic failure between 2011 and 2023. The cutoff value for low myocardial 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity was 6000 nCi-kg/cc-mCi, for olfactory dysfunction an UPSIT score ≤ 28, and for an increased α-syn-TH colocalization index ≥ 1.57. RESULTS A total of 44 patients (31 LB, 13 non-LB nOH) had data for all three biomarkers. Compared to the non-LB group, the LB nOH group had low myocardial 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity, low UPSIT scores, and high α-syn-TH colocalization indexes (p < 0.0001 each). Combining the three biomarkers completely separated the groups. Cluster analysis identified two distinct groups (p < 0.0001) independently of the clinical diagnosis, with one cluster corresponding exactly to LB nOH. CONCLUSION LB forms of nOH feature cardiac noradrenergic deficiency, olfactory dysfunction, and increased α-syn-TH colocalization in skin biopsies. Combining the data for these variables efficiently separates LB from non-LB nOH. Independently of the clinical diagnosis, this biomarker triad identifies a pathophysiologically distinct cluster of nOH patients.

Abstract
Multiple system atrophy is a rare, debilitating, adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder that manifests clinically as a diverse combination of parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, and autonomic dysfunction. It is pathologically characterized by oligodendroglial cytoplasmic inclusions containing abnormally aggregated α-synuclein. According to the updated Movement Disorder Society diagnostic criteria for multiple system atrophy, the diagnosis of clinically established multiple system atrophy requires the manifestation of autonomic dysfunction in combination with poorly levo-dopa responsive parkinsonism and/or cerebellar syndrome. Although symptomatic management of multiple system atrophy can substantially improve quality of life, therapeutic benefits are often limited, ephemeral, and they fail to modify the disease progression and eradicate underlying causes. Consequently, effective breakthrough treatments that target the causes of disease are needed. Numerous preclinical and clinical studies are currently focusing on a set of hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases to slow or halt the progression of multiple system atrophy: pathological protein aggregation, synaptic dysfunction, aberrant proteostasis, neuronal inflammation, and neuronal cell death. Meanwhile, specific biomarkers and measurements with higher specificity and sensitivity are being developed for the diagnosis of multiple system atrophy, particularly for early detection of the disease. More intriguingly, a growing number of new disease-modifying candidates, which can be used to design multi-targeted, personalized treatment in patients, are being investigated, notwithstanding the failure of most previous attempts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence of glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) containing aggregated α-synuclein (α-Syn). Accurate diagnosis and monitoring of MSA present significant challenges, which can lead to potential misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Biomarkers play a crucial role in improving the accuracy of MSA diagnosis, and phosphorylated α-synuclein (p-syn) has emerged as a promising biomarker for aiding in diagnosis and disease monitoring. METHODS A literature search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using specific keywords and MeSH terms without imposing a time limit. Inclusion criteria comprised various study designs including experimental studies, case-control studies, and cohort studies published only in English, while conference abstracts and unpublished sources were excluded. RESULTS Increased levels of p-syn have been observed in various samples from MSA patients, such as red blood cells, cerebrospinal fluid, oral mucosal cells, skin, and colon biopsies, highlighting their diagnostic potential. The α-Syn RT-QuIC assay has shown sensitivity in diagnosing MSA and tracking its progression. Meta-analyses and multicenter investigations have confirmed the diagnostic value of p-syn in cerebrospinal fluid, demonstrating high specificity and sensitivity in distinguishing MSA from other neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, combining p-syn with other biomarkers has further improved the diagnostic accuracy of MSA. CONCLUSION The p-syn stands out as a promising biomarker for MSA. It is found in oligodendrocytes and shows a correlation with disease severity and progression. However, further research and validation studies are necessary to establish p-syn as a reliable biomarker for MSA. If proven, p-syn could significantly contribute to early diagnosis, disease monitoring, and assessing treatment response.

Abnormal dopamine transporter imaging in pure autonomic failure: a potential biomarker of central nervous system involvement. Eur J Neurol 2024; 31:e16169. [PMID: 38085264 PMCID: PMC11235633 DOI: 10.1111/ene.16169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pure autonomic failure (PAF) is a rare progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by neurogenic orthostatic hypotension at presentation, without other neurological abnormalities. Some patients may develop other central neurological features indicative of multiple system atrophy or a Lewy body disorder. There are currently no biomarkers to assess possible central nervous system involvement in probable PAF at an early stage. A possibility is to evaluate the nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration by imaging of dopamine transporter with DaTscan brain imaging. The objective was to evaluate subclinical central nervous system involvement using DaTscan in PAF. METHODS We retreospectively reviewed pure autonomic failure patients who were evaluated at the Autonomic Unit between January 2015 and August 2021 and underwent comprehensive autonomic assessment, neurological examination, brain magnetic resonance imaging and DaTscan imaging. DaTscan imaging was performed if patients presented with atypical features which did not meet the criteria for Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy or other atypical parkinsonism. RESULTS In this cohort, the median age was 49.5 years at disease onset, 57.5 years at presentation, and the median disease duration was 7.5 years. Five of 10 patients had an abnormal DaTscan without neurological features meeting the criteria of an alternative diagnosis. Patients with abnormal DaTscan were predominantly males, had shorter disease duration and had more severe genitourinary symptoms. DISCUSSION Degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons measured using DaTscan imaging can present in patients with PAF without concurrent signs indicating progression to widespread α-synucleinopathy. It is advocated that DaTscan imaging should be considered as part of the workup of patients with emerging autonomic failure who are considered to have PAF.

Abstract
Purpose Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) results from deficient reflexive delivery of norepinephrine to cardiovascular receptors in response to decreased cardiac venous return. Lewy body (LB) forms of nOH entail low 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity (a measure of cardiac noradrenergic deficiency), olfactory dysfunction by the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), and increased deposition of alpha-synuclein (ɑ-syn) in dermal sympathetic noradrenergic nerves by the ɑ-syn-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) colocalization index. This observational, cross-sectional study explored whether combinations of these biomarkers specifically identify LB forms of nOH. Methods Clinical laboratory data were reviewed from patients referred for evaluation at the National Institutes of Health for chronic autonomic failure between 2011 and 2023. The cutoff value for low myocardial 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity was 6,000 nCi-kg/cc-mCi, for olfactory dysfunction an UPSIT score ≤ 28, and for an increased ɑ-syn-TH colocalization index ≥ 1.57. Results A total of 44 patients (31 LB, 13 non-LB nOH) had data for all 3 biomarkers. Compared to the non-LB group, the LB nOH group had low myocardial 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity, low UPSIT scores, and high ɑ-syn-TH colocalization indexes (p<0.0001 each). Combining the 3 biomarkers completely separated the groups. Cluster analysis identified 2 distinct groups (p<0.0001) independently of the clinical diagnosis, 1 cluster corresponding exactly to LB nOH. Conclusion LB forms of nOH feature cardiac noradrenergic deficiency, olfactory dysfunction, and increased ɑ-syn-TH colocalization in skin biopsies. Combining the data for these variables efficiently separates LB from non-LB nOH. Independently of the clinical diagnosis, this biomarker triad identifies a pathophysiologically distinct cluster of nOH patients.

Abstract
Background Primary autonomic failure (PAF) or Bradbury Eggleston syndrome is a neurodegenerative disorder of the autonomic nervous system characterized by orthostatic hypotension. Case summary We report the case of a 76-year-old patient with a history of hypertension, who presented with exercise-induced fatigue. He exhibited systolic hypertension and resting bradycardia in the supine position, with orthostatic hypotension without reactive tachycardia, suggesting dysautonomia. Neurological examination was unremarkable. The patient underwent cardiovascular autonomic testing, revealing evidence of beta-sympathetic deficiency associated with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. Causes of secondary dysautonomia were excluded. The patient was diagnosed with PAF. Even if managing the combination of supine hypertension and orthostatic hypotension was challenging, significant improvements in functional and haemodynamic status were observed with a personalized management approach. Discussion Throughout this case report, we emphasize the critical need for an evaluation of autonomic function and blood pressure's dynamics in hypertensive patients experiencing orthostatic symptoms, enabling the implementation of tailored therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Approximately 50 % of residents in long-term care facilities fall yearly and orthostatic hypotension accounts for a significant portion of them. Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension - a subtype of orthostatic hypotension - is important to be recognized as its management is far more complex; undertreatment of these older adults can lead to recurrent falls, high healthcare cost burden, and increased morbidity and mortality. The primary purpose of our study was to describe the rate of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension in older adults in a long-term care facility, with a secondary purpose to describe risk factors for neurogenic orthostatic hypotension in this population. METHODS We conducted a retrospective case-control study of residents with recurrent falls at the Dayton Veteran's Affairs long-term care facility. Charts were manually reviewed. Inclusion criterion was three or more falls and age 65 or greater; we did not have exclusion criteria. ICD10 codes and most recent primary care physician notes were used to identify comorbidity diagnoses. Recent orthostatic vitals were used to assess orthostatic hypotension or neurogenic orthostatic hypotension diagnoses. RESULTS Of our sample of 224 residents, we observed a prevalence of 20.5 % for neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and 32.1 % for orthostatic hypotension. Neither of them had diagnosis of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension documented. Parkinson's disease was associated with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (OR-4.3; p = 0.002). Hypertension was prevalent in 69.6 % of residents with orthostatic vitals suggestive of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. CONCLUSION Older adults with recurrent falls at a long-term care facility meet criteria for neurogenic orthostatic hypotension diagnosis far more often than is documented. Common comorbidities associated with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension in this population include Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Lewy body diseases (LBDs) Parkinson disease (PD), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), by the time parkinsonism or cognitive dysfunction manifests clinically, substantial neurodegeneration has already occurred. Biomarkers are needed to identify central LBDs in a preclinical phase, when neurorescue strategies might forestall symptomatic disease. This phase may involve catecholamine deficiency in the autonomic nervous system. We analyzed data from the prospective, observational, long-term PDRisk study to assess the predictive value of low versus normal cardiac 18F-dopamine positron emission tomography (PET), an index of myocardial content of the sympathetic neurotransmitter norepinephrine, in at-risk individuals. METHODS Participants self-reported risk factor information (genetics, olfactory dysfunction, dream enactment behavior, and orthostatic intolerance or hypotension) at a protocol-specific website. Thirty-four with 3 or more confirmed risk factors underwent serial cardiac 18F-dopamine PET at 1.5-year intervals for up to 7.5 years or until PD was diagnosed. RESULTS Nine participants had low initial myocardial 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity (<6,000 nCi-kg/cc-mCi) and 25 had normal radioactivity. At 7 years of follow-up, 8 of 9 with low initial radioactivity and 1 of 11 with normal radioactivity were diagnosed with a central LBD (LBD+) (P = 0.0009 by Fisher's exact test). Conversely, all 9 LBD+ participants had low 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity before or at the time of diagnosis of a central LBD, whereas among 25 participants without a central LBD only 1 (4%) had persistently low radioactivity (P < 0.0001 by Fisher's exact test). CONCLUSION Cardiac 18F-dopamine PET highly efficiently distinguishes at-risk individuals who are diagnosed subsequently with a central LBD from those who are not.

Abstract
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (OH) causes severe orthostatic intolerance. We evaluated hemodynamic parameters in a patient with pure autonomic failure (PAF) using various unique approaches. A 60-year-old woman had worsening light-headedness, fatigue, and severe OH without compensatory tachycardia. PAF was diagnosed based on negative neurological findings, testing, and imaging results. The active standing test did not increase the heart rate (HR), and it decreased cardiac output, indicating impaired sympathetic control of cardiovascular activity. HR did not change during the supine bicycle exercise stress test, whereas blood pressure decreased. The patient had an accentuated reaction to isoproterenol but did not respond to atropine sulfate. Isoproterenol 0.01 μg/kg/min caused a 153 % increase in HR that required more than 30 min to return to its original value, suggesting hypersensitivity to catecholamines and decreased parasympathetic activity. As for why atropine sulfate (0.04 mg/kg) did not increase HR, we assumed that parasympathetic activity was already suppressed or the sympathetic effects were not predominant. Intravenous atropine sulfate may be useful in diagnosing PAF, which generally lacks specific neurological physical findings. A proper understanding of the hemodynamics involved in the management of PAF-associated OH is crucial. Learning objective The autonomic control of cardiovascular function is impaired in pure autonomic failure, and neurogenic orthostatic hypotension can be diagnosed by evaluating changes in heart rate. Treatment should be based on the hemodynamic characteristics using non-invasive cardiac output monitoring, pharmacological approaches, and supine bicycle exercise stress tests.

Abstract
Orthostatic hypotension is defined as a drop in systolic blood pressure of at least 20mmHg or a drop in diastolic blood pressure of at least 10mmHg within 3minutes of standing. It is a common disorder, especially in high-risk populations such as elderly subjects and patients with neurological diseases, and is associated with markedly increased morbidity and mortality. Its management can be challenging, particularly in cases where supine hypertension is associated with severe orthostatic hypotension. Education of the patient, non-pharmacological measures, and drug adaptation are the cornerstones of treatment. Pharmacological treatment should be individualized according to the severity, underlying cause, 24-hour blood pressure profile, and associated coexisting conditions. First-line therapies are midodrine and fludrocortisone, which may need to be combined for optimal care of severe cases.

Abstract
Autonomic dysfunction is a prevalent feature of Parkinson's disease (PD), mediated by disease involvement of the autonomic nervous system. Chronotropic incompetence (CI) refers to inadequate increase of heart rate in response to elevated metabolic demand, partly dependent on postganglionic sympathetic tone. In a retrospective study, PD patients with/without CI were identified. We show that PD with CI was associated with a higher levodopa equivalent daily dose and Hoehn and Yahr stage, 5±2 years after motor onset. Our data support a putative role of CI as a clinical marker of a more severe disease phenotype, possibly reflecting more widespread alpha-synuclein pathology.

Abstract
Pure autonomic failure (PAF) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting the sympathetic component of the autonomic nervous system and presenting as orthostatic hypotension (OH). It is a rare, sporadic disease of adults. Although OH is the primary symptom, the autonomic dysfunction may be more generalised, leading to genitourinary and intestinal dysfunction and sweating disorders. Autonomic symptoms in PAF may be similar to those observed in other autonomic neuropathies that need to be ruled out. PAF belongs to the group of α synucleinopathies and is characterised by predominant peripheral deposition of α-synuclein in autonomic ganglia and nerves. However, in a significant number of cases, PAF may convert into another synucleinopathy with central nervous system involvement with varying prognosis: Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The clinical features, the main differential diagnoses, the risk factors for "phenoconversion" to another synucleinopathy as well as an overview of treatment will be discussed.

Abstract
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is the most common manifestation of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in Parkinson's disease. In this viewpoint, we discuss five practical questions regarding OH in Parkinson's disease: 1) How common is the problem? 2) Why should people with Parkinson's disease and providers care about OH? 3) What are the symptoms of OH? 4) How to confirm a diagnosis of OH? And 5) How to treat OH? OH is an important non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease for which we have available treatments to significantly mitigate morbidity and possibly positively impact the disease course.

Abstract
Symptoms of autonomic dysfunction are prevalent and can be very debilitating, reducing the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies such as dementia with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy. Non-pharmacological therapies are key to effective management and are frequently used alone in patients with mild autonomic symptoms, or in combination with pharmacological therapies in patients with moderate and severe symptoms. This article focuses on non-pharmacological approaches. Our objective was to review the non-drug and non-surgical approaches to treating autonomic symptoms in patients with PD and other synucleinopathies, focusing on cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary autonomic dysfunction. Evidence supporting the effectiveness of non-pharmacological treatment for the management of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, supine hypertension, constipation, and bladder and sexual dysfunction is available. High-quality prospective trials are scarce, yet some non-pharmacological interventions (e.g., physical counter maneuvers) can be evaluated relatively quickly on an individual basis and often seem effective. The emerging variety of clinical presentations advocates for a stepwise, individualized, and non-pharmacological approach for the management of autonomic symptoms. Often, the first step is to reduce or discontinue drugs that cause or aggravate autonomic symptoms followed by lifestyle measures. While non-pharmacological and non-surgical treatments are available and, in many cases, effective to improve symptoms of autonomic dysfunction in PD and other synucleinopathies, they are often overlooked. Large randomized trials testing and comparing non-pharmacological approaches are warranted.

Abstract
The question whether Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are expressions of the same underlying disease has been vigorously debated for decades. The recently proposed biological definitions of Lewy body disease, which do not assign any particular importance to the dopamine system over other degenerating neurotransmitter systems, has once more brought the discussion about different types of Lewy body disease to the forefront. Here, we briefly compare PDD and DLB in terms of their symptoms, imaging findings, and neuropathology, ultimately finding them to be indistinguishable. We then present a conceptual framework to demonstrate how one can view different clinical syndromes as manifestations of a shared underlying Lewy body disease. Early Parkinson's disease, isolated RBD, pure autonomic failure and other autonomic symptoms, and perhaps even psychiatric symptoms, represent diverse manifestations of the initial clinical stages of Lewy body disease. They are characterized by heterogeneous and comparatively limited neuronal dysfunction and damage. In contrast, Lewy body dementia, an encompassing term for both PDD and DLB, represents a more uniform and advanced stage of the disease. Patients in this category display extensive and severe Lewy pathology, frequently accompanied by co-existing pathologies, as well as multi-system neuronal dysfunction and degeneration. Thus, we propose that Lewy body disease should be viewed as a single encompassing disease entity. Phenotypic variance is caused by the presence of individual risk factors, disease mechanisms, and co-pathologies. Distinct subtypes of Lewy body disease can therefore be defined by subtype-specific disease mechanisms or biomarkers.

Abstract
Synucleinopathies are disorders characterized by the aggregation and deposition of pathological α-synuclein conformers. The underlying neurodegenerative processes begin years or decades before the onset of cardinal motor symptoms. This prodromal phase may manifest with various signs or symptoms. However, there are no current standardized laboratory tests to ascertain the progression and conversion of prodromal conditions such as mild cognitive impairment, isolated REM sleep behavior disorder or pure autonomic failure. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the diagnostic possibilities using human biofluids as source material to detect pathological α-synuclein in the prodromal phase of synucleinopathies. Our review identified eight eligible studies, that investigated pathological α-synuclein conformers using cerebrospinal fluid from patients with prodromal signs of synulceinopathies to differentiate this patient group from non-synucleinopathies, while only one study investigated this aspect using blood as medium. While previous studies clearly demonstrated a high diagnostic performance of α-synuclein seed amplification assays for differentiating synucleinopathies with Lewy bodies from healthy controls, only few analyses were performed focussing on individuals with prodromal disease. Nevertheless, results for the early detection of α-synuclein seeds using α-synuclein seed amplification assays were promising and may be of particular relevance for future clinical trials and clinical practice.

Abstract
The ability to identify individuals in the prodromal phase of Parkinson's disease has improved in recent years, raising the question of whether and how those affected should be informed about the risk of future disease. Several studies investigated prognostic counselling for individuals with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder and have shown that most patients want to receive information about prognosis, but autonomy and individual preferences must be respected. However, there are still many unanswered questions about risk disclosure or early diagnosis of PD, including the impact on personal circumstances, cultural preferences and specific challenges associated with different profiles of prodromal symptoms, genetic testing or biomarker assessments. This narrative review aims to summarize the current literature on prognostic counselling and risk disclosure in PD, as well as highlight future perspectives that may emerge with the development of new biomarkers and their anticipated impact on the definition of PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although orthostatic hypotension (OH) can be an early feature of autonomic dysfunction in isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), no large-scale studies have examined the frequency of OH in iRBD. In this study, we prospectively evaluated the frequency of OH in a large multicenter iRBD cohort. METHODS Participants 18 years or older with video polysomnogram-confirmed iRBD were enrolled through the North American Prodromal Synucleinopathy consortium. All participants underwent 3-minute orthostatic stand testing to assess the frequency of OH, and a Δ heart rate/Δ systolic blood pressure (ΔHR/ΔSBP) ratio <0.5 was used to define reduced HR augmentation, suggestive of neurogenic OH. All participants completed a battery of assessments, including the Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson Disease-Autonomic Dysfunction (SCOPA-AUT) and others assessing cognitive, motor, psychiatric, and sensory domains. RESULTS Of 340 iRBD participants (65 ± 10 years, 82% male), 93 (27%) met criteria for OH (ΔHR/ΔSBP 0.37 ± 0.28; range 0.0-1.57), and of these, 72 (77%) met criteria for OH with reduced HR augmentation (ΔHR/ΔSBP 0.28 ± 0.21; range 0.0-0.5). Supine hypertension (sHTN) was present in 72% of those with OH. Compared with iRBD participants without OH, those with OH were older, reported older age of RBD symptom onset, and had worse olfaction. There was no difference in autonomic symptom scores as measured by SCOPA-AUT. DISCUSSION OH and sHTN are common in iRBD. However, as patients may have reduced autonomic symptom awareness, orthostatic stand testing should be considered in clinical evaluations. Longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the relationship between OH and phenoconversion risk in iRBD.

[PMID: 37843677 DOI: 10.1007/s10286-023-00987-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Pure autonomic failure (PAF) is a rare disease characterized by neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH), no known secondary cause, and lack of a neurodegenerative movement or cognitive disorder. Clinically diagnosed PAF can evolve ("phenoconvert") to a central Lewy body disease [LBD, e.g., Parkinson's disease (PD) or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)] or to the non-LBD synucleinopathy multiple system atrophy (MSA). Since cardiac 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity usually is low in LBDs and usually is normal in MSA, we hypothesized that patients with PAF with low cardiac 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity would be more likely to phenoconvert to a central LBD than to MSA. METHODS We reviewed data from all the patients seen at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center from 1994 to 2023 with a clinical diagnosis of PAF and data about 18F-dopamine positron emission tomography (PET). RESULTS Nineteen patients (15 with low 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity, 4 with normal radioactivity) met the above criteria and had follow-up data. Nine (47%) phenoconverted to a central synucleinopathy over a mean of 6.6 years (range 1.5-18.8 years). All 6 patients with low cardiac 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity who phenoconverted during follow-up developed a central LBD, whereas none of 4 patients with consistently normal 18F-dopamine PET phenoconverted to a central LBD (p = 0.0048), 3 evolving to probable MSA and 1 upon autopsy having neither a LBD nor MSA. CONCLUSION Cardiac 18F-dopamine PET can predict the type of phenoconversion of PAF. This capability could refine eligibility criteria for entry into disease-modification trials aimed at preventing evolution of PAF to symptomatic central LBDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Multiple system atrophy is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by autonomic dysfunction in association with either parkinsonism or cerebellar signs. The pathologic hallmark is the presence of alpha-synuclein aggregates in oligodendrocytes, forming glial cytoplasmic inclusions. Clinically, it may be difficult to distinguish form other parkinsonisms or ataxias, particularly in the early stages of the disease. In this case series we aim to describe in detail the features of MSA patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Unified MSA Rating Scale (UMSARS) score, structural and functional imaging and cardiovascular autonomic testing, are summarized since early stages of the disease. RESULTS UMSARS proved to be useful to perform a follow-up being longitudinal examination essential to stratify risk of poor outcome. Neuropathological diagnosis showed an overlap between parkinsonian and cerebellar subtypes, with some peculiarities that could help to distinguish from other subtypes. CONCLUSION A better description of MSA features with standardized test confirmed by means of neuropathological studies could help to increase sensitivity.

Abstract
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare, adult-onset, progressive neurodegenerative disorder with major diagnostic challenges. Aiming for a better diagnostic accuracy particularly at early disease stages, novel Movement Disorder Society criteria for the diagnosis of MSA (MDS MSA criteria) have been recently developed. They introduce a neuropathologically established MSA category and three levels of clinical diagnostic certainty including clinically established MSA, clinically probable MSA, and the research category of possible prodromal MSA. The diagnosis of clinically established and clinically probable MSA is based on the presence of cardiovascular or urological autonomic failure, parkinsonism (poorly L-Dopa-responsive for the diagnosis of clinically established MSA), and cerebellar syndrome. These core clinical features need to be associated with supportive motor and non-motor features (MSA red flags) and absence of any exclusion criteria. Characteristic brain MRI markers are required for a diagnosis of clinically established MSA. A research category of possible prodromal MSA is devised to capture patients manifesting with autonomic failure or REM sleep behavior disorder and only mild motor signs at the earliest disease stage. There is a number of promising laboratory markers for MSA that may help increase the overall clinical diagnostic accuracy. In this review, we will discuss the core and supportive clinical features for a diagnosis of MSA in light of the new MDS MSA criteria, which laboratory tools may assist in the clinical diagnosis and which major differential diagnostic challenges should be borne in mind.

Abstract
Purpose Hyperadrenergic orthostatic hypotension is a subtype of orthostatic hypotension associated with elevated norepinephrine levels upon standing. Our previous study found that this subtype is characterized by less severe autonomic impairment compared to orthostatic hypotension with normal or low norepinephrine levels. However, long-term outcomes have not been determined. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the all-cause mortality and phenoconversion over 7 years. Methods In this prospective observational study, 92 patients with orthostatic hypotension were recruited from the Vanderbilt Autonomic Dysfunction Center. 34 patients with upright norepinephrine levels above 600 pg/mL were included in the hyperadrenergic cohort and 58 composed the orthostatic hypotension cohort. Both cohorts were followed for 7 years while assessing all-cause mortality and phenoconversion to neurodegenerative autonomic disorders. Results Hyperadrenergic patients showed an exaggerated orthostatic increase in norepinephrine to 938 ± 305 pg/mL upon head up tilt despite presenting with impaired autonomic reflexes. The 7-year mortality rate was 35% in the hyperadrenergic cohort compared to 22% in orthostatic hypotension (p = 0.01). The hyperadrenergic cohort had a greater phenoconversion rate to multiple system atrophy (p = 0.04), whereas the orthostatic hypotension cohort had greater phenoconversion to Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Conclusions Despite having less severe autonomic impairment, our data suggests that hyperadrenergic orthostatic hypotension has worse clinical outcomes than neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. Patients with hyperadrenergic orthostatic hypotension require careful monitoring, given that this condition may be associated with negative outcomes.

Abstract
Alpha-synucleinopathies (α-synucleinopathies) such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are all characterized by aggregates of alpha-synuclein (α-syn), but display heterogeneous clinical and pathological phenotypes. The mechanism underlying this heterogeneity is thought to be due to diversity in the α-syn strains present across the diseases. α-syn obtained from the post-mortem brain of patients who lived with these conditions is heterogenous, and displays a different protease sensitivity, ultrastructure, cytotoxicity, and seeding potential. The primary aim of this review is to summarize previous studies investigating these concepts, which not only reflect the idea of different syn strains being present, but demonstrate that each property explains a small part of a much larger puzzle. Strains of α-syn appear at the center of the correlation between α-syn properties and the disease phenotype, likely influenced by external factors. There are considerable similarities in the properties of disease-specific α-syn strains, but MSA seems to consistently display more aggressive traits. Elucidating the molecular underpinnings of heterogeneity amongst α-synucleinopathies holds promise for future clinical translation, allowing for the development of personalized medicine approaches tackling the root cause of each α-synucleinopathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess whether cancer occurs with increased frequency in multiple system atrophy (MSA). The pathological hallmark of MSA is glial cytoplasmic inclusions containing aggregated α-synuclein, and the related protein γ-synuclein correlates with invasive cancer. We investigated whether these two disorders are associated clinically. METHODS Medical records of 320 patients with pathologically confirmed MSA seen between 1998 and 2022 were reviewed. After excluding those with insufficient medical histories, the remaining 269 and an equal number of controls matched for age and sex were queried for personal and family histories of cancer recorded on standardized questionnaires and in clinical histories. Additionally, age-adjusted rates of breast cancer were compared with US population incidence data. RESULTS Of 269 cases in each group, 37 with MSA versus 45 of controls had a personal history of cancer. Reported cases of cancer in parents were 97 versus 104 and in siblings 31 versus 44 for MSA and controls, respectively. Of 134 female cases in each group, 14 MSA versus 10 controls had a personal history of breast cancer. The age-adjusted rate of breast cancer in MSA was 0.83%, as compared with 0.67% in controls and 2.0% in the US population. All comparisons were nonsignificant. CONCLUSION The evidence from this retrospective cohort found no significant clinical association of MSA with breast cancer or other cancers. These results do not exclude the possibility that knowledge about synuclein pathology at the molecular level in cancer may lead to future discoveries and potential therapeutic targets for MSA.

Abstract
Background Pure autonomic failure (PAF) is a rare disease characterized clinically by neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) and biochemically by peripheral noradrenergic deficiency. Clinically diagnosed PAF can evolve ("phenoconvert") to a central Lewy body disease (LBD, e.g., Parkinson's disease (PD) or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)) or to the non-LBD synucleinopathy multiple system atrophy (MSA). We examined whether cardiac 18F-dopamine positron emission tomography (PET) predicts the trajectory of phenoconversion in PAF. Since cardiac 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity always is decreased in LBDs with nOH and usually is normal in MSA, we hypothesized that PAF patients with low cardiac 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity may phenoconvert to a central LBD but do not phenoconvert to MSA. Methods We reviewed data from all the patients seen at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center from 1994 to 2023 with a clinical diagnosis of PAF and data about serial 18F-dopamine PET. Results Twenty patients met the above criteria. Of 15 with low cardiac 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity, 6 (40%) phenoconverted to PD or DLB and none to MSA. Of 5 patients with consistently normal 18F-dopamine PET, 4 phenoconverted to MSA, and the other at autopsy had neither a central LBD nor MSA. Conclusion In this case series, 40% of patients with nOH and low cardiac 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity phenoconverted to PD or DLB during follow-up; none phenoconverted to MSA. Cardiac 18F-DA PET therefore can predict the type of phenoconversion in PAF. This capability could refine eligibility criteria for entry into disease-modification trials aiming to prevent evolution of PAF to symptomatic central LBDs.

Abstract
AIMS Although reduced life expectancy in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients has been related to severe cardiac arrhythmias due to autonomic dysfunctions, its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. To investigate the role of cardiac β1-Adrenergic (β1AR) and A1-Adenosine (A1R) receptors in these dysfunctions, the pharmacological effects of stimulation of cardiac β1AR (isoproterenol, ISO), in the absence and presence of cardiac β1AR (atenolol, AT) or A1R (1,3-dipropyl-8-cyclopentyl xanthine, DPCPX) blockade, on the arrhythmias induced by Ischemia/Reperfusion (CIR) in an animal PD model were studied. METHODS PD was produced by dopaminergic lesions (confirmed by immunohistochemistry analysis) caused by the injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, 6 μg) in rat striatum. CIR was produced by a surgical interruption for 10 min followed by reestablishment of blood circulation in the descendent left coronary artery. On the incidence of CIR-Induced Ventricular Arrhythmias (VA), Atrioventricular Block (AVB), and Lethality (LET), evaluated by Electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis, the effects of intravenous treatment with ISO, AT and DPCPX (before CIR) were studied. RESULTS VA, AVB and LET incidences were significantly higher in 6-OHDA (83%, 92%, 100%, respectively) than in control rats (58%, 67% and 67%, respectively). ISO treatment significantly reduced these incidences in 6-OHDA (33%, 33% and 42%, respectively) and control rats (25%, 25%, 33%, respectively), indicating that stimulation of cardiac β1AR induced cardioprotection. This response was prevented by pretreatment with AT and DPCPX, confirming the involvement of cardiac β1AR and A1R. CONCLUSION Pharmacological modulation of cardiac β1AR and A1R could be a potential therapeutic strategy to reduce severe arrhythmias and increase life expectancy in PD patients.

Abstract
Many advances in understanding the pathophysiology of Parkinson disease (PD) have been based on research addressing its motor symptoms and phenotypes. Various data-driven clinical phenotyping studies supported by neuropathological and in vivo neuroimaging data suggest the existence of distinct non-motor endophenotypes of PD even at diagnosis, a concept further strengthened by the predominantly non-motor spectrum of symptoms in prodromal PD. Preclinical and clinical studies support early dysfunction of noradrenergic transmission in both the CNS and peripheral nervous system circuits in patients with PD that results in a specific cluster of non-motor symptoms, including rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder, pain, anxiety and dysautonomia (particularly orthostatic hypotension and urinary dysfunction). Cluster analyses of large independent cohorts of patients with PD and phenotype-focused studies have confirmed the existence of a noradrenergic subtype of PD, which had been previously postulated but not fully characterized. This Review discusses the translational work that unravelled the clinical and neuropathological processes underpinning the noradrenergic PD subtype. Although some overlap with other PD subtypes is inevitable as the disease progresses, recognition of noradrenergic PD as a distinct early disease subtype represents an important advance towards the delivery of personalized medicine for patients with PD.

Abstract
Neural organoids have been shown to serve as powerful tools for studying the mechanism of neural development and diseases as well as for screening drugs and developing cell-based therapeutics. Somatic cells have previously been reprogrammed into scattered autonomic ganglion (AG) neurons but not AG organoids. Here we have identified a combination of triple transcription factors (TFs) Ascl1, Phox2a/b, and Hand2 (APH) capable of efficiently reprogramming mouse fibroblasts into self-organized and networked induced AG (iAG) organoids, and characterized them by immunostaining, qRT-PCR, patch-clamping, and scRNA-seq approaches. The iAG neurons exhibit molecular properties, subtype diversity, and electrophysiological characteristics of autonomic neurons. Moreover, they can integrate into the superior cervical ganglia following transplantation and innervate and control the beating rate of co-cultured ventricular myocytes. Thus, iAG organoids may provide a valuable tool to study the pathogenesis of autonomic nervous system diseases and screen for drugs, as well as a source for cell-based therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Aging is associated with a combination of several lower urinary tract (LUT) signs and symptoms, including residual urine, overactive bladder and nocturia. One of the mechanisms of this LUT dysfunction that has not been discussed in dept so far is the role of dopamine (DA). METHODS In this narrative review, we explore the dopaminergic hypothesis in the development of this combination of LUT signs and symptoms in older adults. RESULTS DA is one of the neurotransmitters whose regulation and production is disrupted in aging. In synucleinopathies, altered DAergic activity is associated with the occurrence of LUTS and sleep disorders. Projections of DAergic neurons are involved in the regulation of sleep, diuresis, and bladder activity. The low dopamine hypothesis could explain the genesis of a set of LUT signs and symptoms commonly seen in this population, including elevated residual urine, Overactive bladder syndrome and Nocturia (discussed as the RON syndrome). This presentation is however also common in older patients without synucleinopathies or neurological disorders and therefore we hypothesise that altered DAergic activity because of pathological aging, and selective destruction of DAergic neurons, could underpin the presentation of this triad of LUT dysfunction in the older population. CONCLUSION The concept of RON syndrome helps to better understand this common phenotypic presentation in clinical practice, and therefore serves as a useful platform to diagnose and treat LUTS in older adults. Besides recognizing the synucleinopathy "red flag" symptoms, this set of multi-causal LUT signs and symptoms highlights the inevitable need for combination therapy, a challenge in older people with their comorbidities and concomitant medications.

Abstract
The recognition of and approach to prodromal symptoms, those which manifest before a diagnosis can be ascertained at the bedside, are of increasing interest in neurodegenerative research. A prodrome is conceived of as an early window into a disease, a critical time when putative disease-modifying interventions may be best suited for examination. Several challenges affect research in this area. Prodromal symptoms are highly prevalent in the population, can be nonprogressive for years or decades, and exhibit limited specificity in predicting conversion versus nonconversion into a neurodegenerative category within a time window feasible for most longitudinal clinical studies. In addition, there is a large range of biological alterations subsumed within each prodromal syndrome, forced to converge into the unifying nosology of each neurodegenerative disorder. Initial prodromal subtyping efforts have been developed but given the scarcity of prodrome-to-disease longitudinal studies, it is not yet clear whether any prodromal subtype can be predicted to evolve into the corresponding subtype of manifesting disease - a form of construct validity. As current subtypes generated from one clinical population are not faithfully replicated to others, it is likely that, lacking biological or molecular anchors, prodromal subtypes may only be applicable to the cohorts within which they were developed. Furthermore, as clinical subtypes have not aligned with a consistent pattern of pathology or biology, such might also be the fate of prodromal subtypes. Finally, the threshold defining the change from prodrome to disease for most neurodegenerative disorders remains clinical (e.g., a motor change in gait becoming noticeable to a clinician or measurable with portable technologies), not biological. As such, a prodrome can be viewed as a disease state not yet overt to a clinician. Efforts into identifying biological subtypes of disease, regardless of clinical phenotype or disease stage, may best serve future disease-modifying therapeutic strategies deployed not for a prodromal symptom but for a defined biological derangement as soon as it can be determined to lead to clinical changes, prodromal or not.

Abstract
In neurodegenerative disorders, the term pathology is often implicitly referred to as pathogenesis. Pathology has been conceived as a window into the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. This clinicopathologic framework posits that what can be identified and quantified in postmortem brain tissue can explain both premortem clinical manifestations and the cause of death, a forensic approach to understanding neurodegeneration. As the century-old clinicopathology framework has yielded little correlation between pathology and clinical features or neuronal loss, the relationship between proteins and degeneration is ripe for revisitation. There are indeed two synchronous consequences of protein aggregation in neurodegeneration: the loss of the soluble/normal proteins on one; the accrual of the insoluble/abnormal fraction of these proteins on the other. The omission of the first part in the protein aggregation process is an artifact of the early autopsy studies: soluble, normal proteins have disappeared, with only the remaining insoluble fraction amenable to quantification. We here review the collective evidence from human data suggesting that protein aggregates, known collectively as pathology, are the consequence of many biological, toxic, and infectious exposures, but may not explain alone the cause or pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders.

Baroreflex-sympathoneural dysfunction characterizes at-risk individuals with preclinical central Lewy body diseases. Clin Auton Res 2023; 33:41-49.

Abstract
PURPOSE In central Lewy body diseases (LBDs) such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), by the time parkinsonism or cognitive dysfunction becomes manifest, substantial central neurodegeneration has already occurred. Cardiovascular autonomic biomarkers might detect preclinical central LBDs in at-risk individuals, enabling possibly effective disease-modifying treatment. METHODS In the prospective, longitudinal PDRisk study, 59 participants provided information about family history of PD, olfactory dysfunction, dream enactment behavior, and orthostatic intolerance or hypotension at a protocol-specific website and were screened as outpatients. Thirty-four had three or more confirmed risk factors and were followed until PD was diagnosed or up to 7.5 years. Dependent measures included assessments of baroreflex-sympathoneural function, via the blood pressure recovery time (PRT) after release of the Valsalva maneuver and baroreflex areas; and baroreflex-cardiovagal function, via heart rate variability in the time and frequency domains and Valsalva baroslopes. Data were compared from groups with or without a subsequent diagnosis of a central LBD (LBD+, N = 9; LBD-, N = 25) and PDRisk participants with fewer than three confirmed risk factors (PDRisk-, N = 25). RESULTS The LBD+ group had larger orthostatic falls in systolic blood pressure than did the LBD- and PDRisk- groups (p < 0.0001 each). The LBD+ group had increased PRTs (p = 0.0114 versus LBD-, p = 0.0094 versus PDRisk-) and baroreflex areas after the Valsalva maneuver (p = 0.0225 versus LBD-, p = 0.0028 versus PDRisk-), whereas the groups did not differ in indices of baroreflex-cardiovagal function. CONCLUSION Orthostatic hypotension and baroreflex-sympathoneural dysfunction characterize at-risk individuals who go on to be diagnosed with a central LBD during longitudinal follow-up.

Abstract
Background Multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease (PD) have similar clinical presentations in their early stages. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common autonomic dysfunction associated with MSA and PD. Heart rate (HR) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) changes are measured in response to the active standing test, which is widely used to screen for cardiovascular autonomic function. Objectives and methods Overall, 255 patients (67 MSA, 188 PD) underwent continuous beat-to-beat non-invasive BP monitoring and active standing test. The total standing time was 10 min, and the BP differences between both groups were compared to determine whether the ΔHR/ΔSBP can differentiate both conditions. Results Classical orthostatic hypotension (COH) (52%) and initial OH (19%) were most common in MSA and PD, respectively. MSA had a higher HR (75.0 ± 9.7 vs. 71.0 ± 10.7, P = 0.008) than PD in the supine position. SBP (135.70 ± 15.68 mmHg vs. 127.31 ± 15.14 mmHg, P = 0.106), diastolic BP (78.45 ± 12.36 mmHg vs. 67.15 ± 13.39 mmHg, P = 0.009) and HR (73.94 ± 8.39 bpm vs. 71.08 ± 13.52 bpm, P = 0.389) at baseline were higher in MSA-COH than in PD-COH. After adjusting for age and disease duration, the ΔHR/ΔSBP-10 min significantly discriminated MSA-COH from PD-COH (P = 0.031). An ΔHR/ΔSBP-10 min of 0.517 showed a sensitivity of 67% and specificity of 84% (AUC = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.63-0.91). Conclusion The SBP, diastolic BP, and HR were higher in the supine position; however, ΔHR and ΔSBP were lower after standing in MSA patients than in PD patients. The ΔHR/ΔSBP-10 min discriminated between MSA-COH and PD-COH with quiet acceptable accuracy.

Abstract
The aim of this prospective study was to investigate autonomic function in Parkinson's disease with a multidimensional approach including clinical evaluation tools, head-up tilt test and morphological studies of the vagus nerve. Head-up tilt test parameters including high frequency power of the heart frequency interval, the ratio of low frequency power of the distance between two consecutive R waves in electrocardiogram (RR interval) to the high frequency and low frequency power of systolic blood pressure were used to evaluate parasympathetic, cardiac sympathetic and vasomotor sympathetic functions, respectively, in 80 patients with Parkinson's disease. We examined the cross-sectional area of the vagus nerves bilaterally using nerve ultrasound and compared mean values with a control group of healthy subjects (n = 40) as well as patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (n = 76). The cross-sectional area of right/left vagus nerve of Parkinson's patients was significantly lower compared to the right/left vagus nerve of the control group and of chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy patients. Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the right vagus nerve was significantly larger from the one of the left vagus nerve for all groups. Based on tilt test, 43 patients (disease duration 7 ± 5, age at evaluation 71 ± 9, Hoehn and Yahr score 2.8 ± 8) were diagnosed with autonomic dysfunction (orthostatic hypertension n = 11, chronotropic incompetence n = 31, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome n = 1). Patients with orthostatic hypotension showed significantly higher Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-III values than those with chronotropic incompetence. The cross-sectional area of the vagus nerve correlated inversely with heart rate in rest and supine position and positively with tilt test parameters representing parasympathetic modulation through vagal activity [high frequency power of the distance between two consecutive R waves in electrocardiogram (RR interval)] at rest. We demonstrate for the first time that morphological characteristics of the vagus nerve correlate with parameters of parasympathetic function from the spectral analysis of cardiovascular parameters in tilt test for Parkinson's patients. This correlation reveals the impact of the atrophy of vagal atrophy for autonomic function in Parkinson's disease. Nerve ultrasound of the vagus nerve could potentially be used as an adjunct to tilt table examination to diagnose autonomic dysfunction.

Abstract
Over the past century, generations of neuroscientists, pathologists, and clinicians have elucidated the underlying causes of autonomic failure found in neurodegenerative, inherited, and antibody-mediated autoimmune disorders, each with pathognomonic clinicopathologic features. Autonomic failure affects central autonomic nervous system components in the α-synucleinopathy, multiple system atrophy, characterized clinically by levodopa-unresponsive parkinsonism or cerebellar ataxia, and pathologically by argyrophilic glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs). Two other central neurodegenerative disorders, pure autonomic failure characterized clinically by deficits in norepinephrine synthesis and release from peripheral sympathetic nerve terminals; and Parkinson's disease, with early and widespread autonomic deficits independent of the loss of striatal dopamine terminals, both express Lewy pathology. The rare congenital disorder, hereditary sensory, and autonomic neuropathy type III (or Riley-Day, familial dysautonomia) causes life-threatening autonomic failure due to a genetic mutation that results in loss of functioning baroreceptors, effectively separating afferent mechanosensing neurons from the brain. Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy caused by autoantibodies targeting ganglionic α3-acetylcholine receptors instead presents with subacute isolated autonomic failure affecting sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric nervous system function in various combinations. This chapter is an overview of these major autonomic disorders with an emphasis on their historical background, neuropathological features, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.

Abstract
The α-synucleinopathies include pure autonomic failure, multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, and Parkinson disease. The past two decades have witnessed significant advances in the diagnostic strategies and symptomatic treatment of motor and nonmotor symptoms of the synucleinopathies. This chapter provides an in-depth review of the pathophysiology, pathology, genetic, epidemiology, and clinical and laboratory autonomic features that distinguish the different synucleinopathies with an emphasis on autonomic failure as a common feature. The treatment of the different synucleinopathies is discussed along with the proposal for multidisciplinary, individualized care models that optimally address the various symptoms. There is an urgent need for clinical scientific studies addressing patients at risk of developing synucleinopathies and the investigation of disease mechanisms, biomarkers, potential disease-modifying therapies, and further advancement of symptomatic treatments for motor and nonmotor symptoms.

Abstract
The Mediterranean (MEDI) and Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diets have been associated with a reduced risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis. However, studies evaluating whether these diets are associated with disease progression in those patients already diagnosed are lacking. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether MIND and MEDI scores were associated with improved patient-reported outcomes. Additionally, we sought to explore which questions on the MIND and MEDI scales were more strongly correlated with PD symptom severity. Data were obtained from the ongoing Modifiable Variables in Parkinsonism study, using patient-reported outcomes in Parkinson’s disease (PRO-PD) as the primary measure for symptom severity, and MIND and MEDI scales for diet score. After adjusting for age, gender, income, and years since diagnosis, for each 1-point increase in the MIND and MEDI scores, PRO-PD scores were 52.9 points lower (95%CI: −66.4, −39.4; p < 0.001) and 25.6 points lower (95%CI: −37.2, −14.0; p < 0.001), respectively (N = 1205). This study suggests MIND and MEDI scores are associated with fewer patient-reported symptoms over time, with each MIND point being twice as strong as a MEDI point in reducing symptom severity. Future dietary intervention trials should consider the MIND diet as a therapeutic strategy for improving long-term PD outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether dysautonomia can stratify individuals with other prodromal markers of Parkinson's disease (PD) for risk of phenoconversion and functional decline, which may help identify subpopulations appropriate for experimental studies. METHODS Data were obtained from Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative. Cohorts without PD but with at-risk features were included (hyposmia and/or rapid-eye-movement-sleep behavior disorder, LRRK2 gene mutation, GBA gene mutation). Dysautonomia measures included Scales-for-Outcomes-in-Parkinson's-Disease Autonomic (SCOPA-AUT), seven SCOPA-AUT subscales, and cardiovascular dysfunction (supine hypertension, low pulse pressure, neurogenic orthostatic hypotension). Outcome measures were phenoconversion and Schwab-and-England Activities-of-Daily-Living (SE-ADL) ≤ 70, which indicates functional dependence. Cox proportional-hazards regression was used to evaluate survival to phenoconversion/SE-ADL ≤ 70 for each dysautonomia measure. If a significant association was identified, a likelihood-ratio test was employed to evaluate whether a significant interaction existed between the measure and cohort. If so, regression analysis was repeated stratified by cohort. RESULTS Median follow-up was 30 months. On multivariable analysis, gastrointestinal and female sexual dysfunction subscales were associated with increased risk of phenoconversion, while the cardiovascular subscale and neurogenic orthostatic hypotension were associated with increased risk of SE-ADL ≤ 70; respective hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 1.13 (1.01-1.27), 3.26 (1.39-7.61), 1.87 (1.16-2.99), 5.45 (1.40-21.25). Only the association between the cardiovascular subscale and SE-ADL ≤ 70 was modified by cohort. CONCLUSIONS Symptoms of gastrointestinal and female sexual dysfunction predict phenoconversion in individuals with other risk markers for PD, while signs and symptoms of cardiovascular dysfunction may be associated with functional decline.

Abstract
We herein report a 73-year-old Japanese woman with possible multiple system atrophy-cerebellar form (MSA-C) who suffered from urinary retention (sacral autonomic disorder) for 12 years before exhibiting cerebellar ataxia. A peculiar combination of findings on urodynamics and sphincter electromyography (EMG), e.g. detrusor hyperactivity with impaired contraction (DHIC), detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) and neurogenic sphincter EMG (upper and lower neuron-type autonomic dysfunction), seems to have been predictive of future development of MSA.

Abstract
AbstractMental illness such as depression and anxiety as well as cerebrovascular disease are linked to impairment of neurocardiac function mediated by changes to the autonomic nervous system with increased sympathetic and decreased parasympathetic activity. Autonomic neurocardiac function can be evaluated by computing heart rate variability (HRV). Over the past decades, research has demonstrated the diagnostic value of HRV as independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality and as disease marker in progressive autonomic nervous system disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Here we summarize our studies on HRV and its therapeutic modulation in the context of psychopharmacology as well as psychiatric and neurological disorders to honor the life of Professor Evgeny Vaschillo, the true pioneer of HRV research who sadly passed away on November 21st, 2020.

Abstract
Despite its increasing recognition and extensive research, there is no unifying hypothesis on the pathophysiology of the postural tachycardia syndrome. In this cross-sectional study, we examined the role of fear conditioning and its association with tachycardia and cerebral hypoperfusion on standing in 28 patients with postural tachycardia syndrome (31 ± 12 years old, 25 females) and 21 matched controls. We found that patients had higher somatic vigilance (P = 0.0167) and more anxiety (P < 0.0001). They also had a more pronounced anticipatory tachycardia right before assuming the upright position in a tilt-table test (P = 0.015), a physiological indicator of fear conditioning to orthostasis. While standing, patients had faster heart rate (P < 0.001), higher plasma catecholamine levels (P = 0.020), lower end-tidal CO2 (P = 0.005) and reduced middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity (P = 0.002). Multi-linear logistic regression modelling showed that both epinephrine secretion and excessive somatic vigilance predicted the magnitude of the tachycardia and the hyperventilation. These findings suggest that the postural tachycardia syndrome is a functional disorder in which standing may acquire a frightful quality, so that even when experienced alone it may elicit a fearful conditioned response. Heightened somatic anxiety is associated with and may predispose to a fear-conditioned hyperadrenergic state when standing. Our results have therapeutic implications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Alpha-synuclein(αSyn) aggregates are definite pathological hallmarks of α-synucleinopathies. Seeding amplification assays (SAAs) have been developed to detect trace amounts of αSyn oligomers in vivo.. Herein, we assessed the diagnostic accuracy of the αSyn-SAAs across biospecimens, diagnostic references, methods, and subtypes. METHODS A systematic literature search yielded 36 eligible studies for a meta-analysis of the sensitivity and specificity of αSyn-SAAs in patients with α-synucleinopathies(n = 2722) and controls(n = 2278). Pooled sensitivities and specificities with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using bivariate random-effects models and a meta-regression analysis was performed. RESULTS The summary sensitivity and specificity of αSyn-SAAs positivity for the diagnosis of α-synucleinopathies were 0.88(95% CIs = 0.84-0.91) and 0.95(0.93-0.97), respectively. Two covariates (biospecimen and diagnostic reference) were significant in fitting the meta-regression model (likelihood-ratio test for sensitivity and specificity, p < 0.01, p = 0.01, respectively). Skin αSyn-SAAs exhibited the highest sensitivity 0.92(0.87-0.95), which was not different from that of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)(0.90(0.86-0.93), p = 0.39). Olfactory mucosa αSyn-SAAs exhibited a lower sensitivity 0.64(0.49-0.76) than those of the other two specimens(p = 0.02, 0.01, compared to CSF and skin, respectively). Application of pathological diagnostic standards were associated with a higher specificity of αSyn-SAAs compared to clinical diagnosis (p < 0.01). The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of CSF αSyn-SAAs were 0.91(0.87-0.94) and 0.96(0.93-0.98) for Lewy body disease, 0.90(0.79-0.95) and 0.96(0.90-0.98) for prodromal α-synucleinopathies, and 0.63(0.24-0.90) and 0.97(0.93-0.99) for multiple system atrophy. CONCLUSIONS αSyn-SAAs are promising in vivo detectors of abnormal αSyn aggregates and may aid the early diagnosis of α-synucleinopathies.

Abstract
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by autonomic failure, ataxia, and/or parkinsonism. Its prominent pathological alterations can be investigated using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI), a technique that exploits the characteristics of water random motion inside brain tissue. The aim of this report was to review currently available literature on the application of dMRI in MSA and to describe microstructural abnormalities, diagnostic applications, and pathophysiological correlates. Sixty-four published studies involving microstructural investigation using dMRI in MSA were included. Widespread microstructural abnormalities of white matter were described, especially in the middle cerebellar peduncle, corticospinal tract, and hemispheric fibers. Gray matter degeneration was identified as well, with diffuse involvement of subcortical structures, especially in the putamina. Diagnostic applications of dMRI were mostly explored for the differential diagnosis between MSA parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease. Recently, machine learning algorithms for image processing and disease classification have demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy, showing potential for translation into clinical practice. To a lesser extent, clinical correlates of microstructural abnormalities have also been investigated, and abnormalities related to motor, ocular, and cognitive impairments were described. dMRI in MSA has contributed to in vivo identification of known pathological abnormalities. Translation into clinical practice of the latest advancements for the differential diagnosis between MSA and other forms of parkinsonism seems feasible. Current limitations involve the possibility of correctly diagnosing MSA in the very early stages, when the clinical diagnosis is most uncertain. Furthermore, pathophysiological correlates of microstructural abnormalities remain understudied. © 2022 The Authors.
