Abstract
People with Parkinson's disease experience reduced sleep quality compared with their peers. Levodopa may have a direct effect on sleep macrostructure or may improve sleep by enhancing nocturnal motor performance. Therefore, it is important to understand the acute effects of withdrawing levodopa on sleep measures in Parkinson's disease. The purpose of this study was to compare the estimated objective and subjective sleep measures of people with Parkinson's disease sleeping under (ON-night) versus without (OFF-night) the effects of the last daily dopaminergic medication before going to bed. A total of 23 people with Parkinson's disease were instructed to wear an actigraphy device for 4 consecutive nights to objectively measure the sleep behaviour. Subjective sleep measure was assessed each morning using a Likert scale. Participants slept for 3 nights on ON-night and 1 night on OFF-night. They were instructed not to take their last dose of levodopa before going to bed in OFF-night. Sleeping in ON- versus OFF-night increased total sleep time (7.8%, p = 0.032) and sleep efficiency (3.7%, p = 0.019), and decreased duration and number of wakes after sleep onset (22.3%, p = 0.050; and 29.2%, p = 0.013, respectively). However, subjective sleep analysis indicated no significant differences between the two conditions. From a clinical point of view, our results suggest that sleeping on ON-night resulted in an improvement in estimated objective sleep measures compared with sleeping on OFF-night. From a methodological point of view, our findings emphasize the importance of relying on objective sleep measurements to accurately assess OFF-night sleep behaviour in people with Parkinson's disease.

GBA1 rs3115534 Is Associated with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder in Parkinson's Disease in Nigerians. Mov Disord 2024; 39:728-733. [PMID: 38390630 DOI: 10.1002/mds.29753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is an early feature of Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Damaging coding variants in Glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) are a genetic risk factor for RBD. Recently, a population-specific non-coding risk variant (rs3115534) was found to be associated with PD risk and earlier onset in individuals of African ancestry. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate whether the GBA1 rs3115534 PD risk variant is associated with RBD in persons with PD. METHODS We studied 709 persons with PD and 776 neurologically healthy controls from Nigeria. All DNA samples were genotyped and imputed, and the GBA1 rs3115534 risk variant was extracted. The RBD screening questionnaire (RBDSQ) was used to assess symptoms of possible RBD. RESULTS RBD was present in 200 PD (28.2%) and 51 (6.6%) controls. We identified that the non-coding GBA1 rs3115534 risk variant is associated with possible RBD in individuals of Nigerian origin (β, 0.3640; standard error [SE], 0.103, P = 4.093e-04), as well as in all samples after adjusting for PD status (β, 0.2542; SE, 0.108; P = 0.019) suggesting that although non-coding, this variant may have the same downstream consequences as GBA1 coding variants. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that the non-coding GBA1 rs3115534 risk variant is associated with an increasing number of RBD symptoms in persons with PD of Nigerian origin. Further research is needed to assess if this variant is also associated with polysomnography-defined RBD and with RBD symptoms in DLB. © 2024 The Authors.

Comparison of quantitative REM without atonia parameters in isolated REM sleep behavior disorder and early untreated Parkinson's disease. Sleep Med 2024; 114:290-296. [PMID: 38295508 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2024.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2022] [Revised: 01/01/2024] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze REM sleep without atonia (RWA) metrics in patients with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy subjects and compare them in terms of degree of presumed brainstem damage. METHODS Forty-nine iRBD patients, 62 PD patients and 38 healthy controls were included into the analysis. Detailed polysomnographic and clinical data including motor, olfactory, autonomic, and cognitive assessment were obtained in all participants and subsequently compared within groups without RBD (i.e., healthy controls, PD-RBD-) and with RBD (i.e., iRBD, PD-RBD+). SINBAR criteria were used to score RWA. RESULTS Twenty-one PD patients (33.8 %) had RBD. When comparing PD-RBD-patients and controls, RWA tonic (p = 0.001) and RWA mixed (p = 0.03) were higher in PD-RBD-group. PD-RBD-patients had worse olfactory function than controls (p < 0.001); no significant difference in autonomic or cognitive function was registered. There were no significant differences in RWA parameters when comparing iRBD and PD-RBD + groups. iRBD patients had better olfactory function than PD-RBD+ (p = 0.006); no significant difference in autonomic or cognitive function was registered. PD-RBD + had worse autonomic (p = 0.006) and olfactory (p = 0.001) but not motor and cognitive function compared to PD-RBD-. CONCLUSIONS Untreated de-novo PD patients without RBD have increased RWA metrics compared to healthy subjects indicating subclinical degeneration of brainstem nuclei responsible for RWA. iRBD patients do not differ in RWA metrics from untreated de-novo PD patients with premotor RBD suggesting a similar level of brainstem degeneration caudal to substantia nigra in both groups. Groups with RBD are associated with autonomic dysfunction.

Abstract
GOAL AND AIMS To pilot the feasibility and evaluate the performance of an EEG wearable for measuring sleep in individuals with Parkinson's disease. FOCUS TECHNOLOGY Dreem Headband, Version 2. REFERENCE TECHNOLOGY Polysomnography. SAMPLE Ten individuals with Parkinson's disease. DESIGN Individuals wore Dreem Headband during a single night of polysomnography. CORE ANALYTICS Comparison of summary metrics, bias, and epoch-by-epoch analysis. ADDITIONAL ANALYTICS AND EXPLORATORY ANALYSES Correlation of summary metrics with demographic and Parkinson's disease characteristics. CORE OUTCOMES Summary statistics showed Dreem Headband overestimated several sleep metrics, including total sleep, efficiency, deep sleep, and rapid eye movement sleep, with an exception in light sleep. Epoch-by-epoch analysis showed greater specificity than sensitivity, with adequate accuracy across sleep stages (0.55-0.82). IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENTAL OUTCOMES Greater Parkinson's disease duration and rapid eye movement behavior were associated with more wakefulness, and worse Parkinson's disease motor symptoms were associated with less deep sleep. CORE CONCLUSION The Dreem Headband performs similarly in Parkinson's disease as it did in non-Parkinson's disease samples and shows promise for improving access to sleep assessment in people with Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with excessive beta activity in the basal ganglia. Brain sensing implants aim to leverage this biomarker for demand-dependent adaptive stimulation. Sleep disturbance is among the most common non-motor symptoms in PD, but its relationship with beta activity is unknown. To investigate the clinical potential of beta activity as a biomarker for sleep quality in PD, we recorded pallidal local field potentials during polysomnography in PD patients off dopaminergic medication and compared the results to dystonia patients. PD patients exhibited sustained and elevated beta activity across wakefulness, rapid eye movement (REM), and non-REM sleep, which was correlated with sleep disturbance. Simulation of adaptive stimulation revealed that sleep-related beta activity changes remain unaccounted for by current algorithms, with potential negative outcomes in sleep quality and overall quality of life for patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Correct diagnosis of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is critical due to its link to α-synucleinopathies and risk of injuries and requires video-polysomnography (V-PSG). Usefulness of screening questionnaires outside the context of validation studies is limited. OBJECTIVE The aim was to assess the performance of three validated RBD screening questionnaires compared with gold-standard V-PSG. METHODS In this bicentric prospective study, 400 consecutive subjects referred to a sleep center for the first time filled three RBD questionnaires (RBD Screening Questionnaire, RBD Single Question, and Innsbruck RBD Inventory) in random order before sleep experts' interview. Subjects positive for at least one questionnaire were invited to undergo V-PSG. Data from patients negative for all questionnaires undergoing V-PSG for other reasons were also evaluated. Questionnaire performances were compared to gold-standard V-PSG RBD diagnosis. RESULTS Three hundred ninety-nine patients (median age: 51 [interquartile range: 37-64] years, 54.9% men) participated. Two hundred thirty-eight (59.6%) were positive for at least one questionnaire, and RBD was diagnosed using V-PSG in 30 patients (7.5%). Questionnaire specificity was 48.1% to 67.4%, sensitivity 80% to 92%, accuracy 51% to 68.3%, negative predictive value 94.2% to 98%, and positive predictive value 14.1% to 20.7%, with no relevant differences in performances among the evaluated questionnaires. CONCLUSIONS RBD questionnaires have low specificity and low positive predictive value and should not be used as a standalone tool for the diagnosis of RBD. Further development of RBD screening methods is needed, particularly for upcoming neuroprotective trials. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) cohorts have provided insights into the earliest neurodegenerative processes in α-synucleinopathies. Even though polysomnography (PSG) remains the gold standard for diagnosis, an accurate questionnaire-based algorithm to identify eligible subjects could facilitate efficient recruitment in research. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to optimize the identification of subjects with iRBD from the general population. METHODS Between June 2020 and July 2021, we placed newspaper advertisements, including the single-question screen for RBD (RBD1Q). Participants' evaluations included a structured telephone screening consisting of the RBD screening questionnaire (RBDSQ) and additional sleep-related questionnaires. We examined anamnestic information predicting PSG-proven iRBD using logistic regressions and receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS Five hundred forty-three participants answered the advertisements, and 185 subjects fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria were screened. Of these, 124 received PSG after expert selection, and 78 (62.9%) were diagnosed with iRBD. Selected items of the RBDSQ, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the STOP-Bang questionnaire, and age predicted iRBD with high accuracy in a multiple logistic regression model (area under the curve >80%). When comparing the algorithm to the sleep expert decision, 77 instead of 124 polysomnographies (62.1%) would have been carried out, and 63 (80.8%) iRBD patients would have been identified; 32 of 46 (69.6%) unnecessary PSG examinations could have been avoided. CONCLUSIONS Our proposed algorithm displayed high diagnostic accuracy for PSG-proven iRBD cost-effectively and may be a convenient tool for research and clinical settings. External validation sets are warranted to prove reliability. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Alpha-synucleinopathies can be identified in their prodromal phase, raising several ethical issues. In this review, we first provide definitions of prodromal α-synucleinopathies and discuss the importance of distinguishing between prodromes and risk factors. Next, we discuss the implications of a diagnosis of prodromal α-synucleinopathy and considerations regarding prognostic counseling in both clinical and research settings. We review available data on patient preferences regarding disclosure as well as providers' perspectives. We examine the pros and cons of disclosing a diagnosis of prodromal α-synucleinopathy, taking into consideration the differences between clinical and research settings. Asking about willingness to know in clinical and research settings and the shared decision-making process applied to prognostic counseling is discussed. Concerning research settings, ethical aspects regarding clinical trials are addressed. Availability of direct-to-consumer technologies will likely lead to novel contexts requiring prognostic counseling, and future neuroprotective or neuromodulating treatments may require further considerations on the timing, role, and importance of prognostic counseling. Recommendations on how to address ethical gaps should be a priority for patients, medical professional societies, and research workgroups. Ethical issues must be considered as an integral part of the overall clinical and research approach to prodromal synucleinopathies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a potentially harmful, often overlooked sleep disorder affecting up to 70% of Parkinson's disease patients. Current diagnosis relies on nocturnal video-polysomnography, which is an expensive and cumbersome examination requiring specific clinical expertise. Here, we explored the use of wrist actigraphy to enable automatic RBD diagnoses in home settings. METHODS A total of 26 Parkinson's disease patients underwent 2-week home wrist actigraphy, followed by two in-laboratory evaluations. Patients were classified as RBD versus non-RBD based on dream enactment history and video-polysomnography. We comprehensively characterized patients' movement patterns during sleep using actigraphic signals. We then trained machine learning classification algorithms to discriminate patients with or without RBD using the most relevant features. Classification performance was quantified with respect to clinical diagnosis, separately for in-laboratory and at-home recordings. Performance was further validated in a control group of non-Parkinson's disease patients with other sleep conditions. RESULTS To characterize RBD, actigraphic features extracted from both (1) individual movement episodes and (2) global nocturnal activity were critical. RBD patients were more active overall, and showed movements that were shorter, of higher magnitude, and more scattered in time. Using these features, our classification algorithms reached an accuracy of 92.9 ± 8.16% during in-clinic tests. When validated on home recordings in Parkinson's disease patients, accuracy reached 100% over a 2-week window, and was 94.4% in non-Parkinson's disease control patients. Features showed robustness across tests and conditions. INTERPRETATION These results open new perspectives for faster, cheaper, and more regular screening of sleep disorders, both for routine clinical practice and clinical trials.

Abstract
Gut microbiota alterations in Parkinson's disease (PD) have been found in several studies and are suggested to contribute to the pathogenesis of PD. However, previous results could not be adequately adjusted for a potential confounding effect of PD medication and disease duration, as almost all PD participants were already using dopaminergic medication and were included several years after diagnosis. Here, the gut microbiome composition of treatment-naive de novo PD subjects was assessed compared to healthy controls (HC) in two large independent case-control cohorts (n = 136 and 56 PD, n = 85 and 87 HC), using 16S-sequencing of fecal samples. Relevant variables such as technical batches, diet and constipation were assessed for their potential effects. Overall gut microbiome composition differed between PD and HC in both cohorts, suggesting gut microbiome alterations are already present in de novo PD subjects at the time of diagnosis, without the possible confounding effect of dopaminergic medication. Although no differentially abundant taxon could be replicated in both cohorts, multiple short chain fatty acids (SCFA) producing taxa were decreased in PD in both cohorts. In particular, several taxa belonging to the family Lachnospiraceae were decreased in abundance. Fewer taxonomic differences were found compared to previous studies, indicating smaller effect sizes in de novo PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND α-Synuclein pathology is associated with neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) and considered to sequentially spread across the brain (Braak stages). According to a new hypothesis of distinct α-synuclein spreading directions based on the initial site of pathology, the "brain-first" spreading subtype would be associated with a more asymmetric cerebral and nigrostriatal pathology than the "body-first" subtype. OBJECTIVE Here, we tested if proposed markers of brain-first PD (ie, higher dopamine transporter [DaT] asymmetry; absence of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder [RBD]) are associated with a greater or more asymmetric reduction in gray matter volume (GMV) in comparison to body-first PD. METHODS Data of 255 de novo PD patients and 110 healthy controls (HCs) were retrieved from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative. Structural magnetic resonance images were preprocessed, and GMVs and their hemispherical asymmetry were obtained for each of the neuropathologically defined Braak stages. Group and correlation comparisons were performed to assess differences in GMV and GMV asymmetry between PD subtypes. RESULTS PD patients demonstrated significantly smaller bilateral GMVs compared to HCs, in a pattern denoting stage-dependent disease-related brain atrophy. However, the degree of putaminal DaT asymmetry was not associated with reduced GMV or higher GMV asymmetry. Furthermore, RBD-negative and RBD-positive patients did not demonstrate a significant difference in GMV or GMV asymmetry. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that putative brain-first and body-first patients do not present diverging brain atrophy patterns. Although certainly not disproving the brain-first/body-first spreading hypothesis, this study fails to provide evidence in support of it. © 2022 The Authors.

Association between probable REM sleep behavior disorder and increased dermal alpha-synuclein deposition in Parkinson's disease. Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2022; 99:58-61. [PMID: 35605512 DOI: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2022.05.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 05/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many patients with Parkinson's disease suffer from REM sleep behavior disorder, potentially preceding the onset of motor symptoms. Phospho-alpha-synuclein is detectable in skin biopsies of patients with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder several years prior to the onset of manifest PD, but information on the association between dermal phospho-alpha-synuclein deposition and REM sleep behavior disorder in patients with manifest PD is limited. We therefore aimed to investigate the alpha-synuclein burden in dermal peripheral nerve fibers in patients with Parkinson's disease with and without REM sleep behavior disorder. METHODS Patients with Parkinson's disease (n = 43) who had undergone skin biopsy for the immunohistochemical detection of phosphorylated alpha-synuclein were screened for REM sleep behavior disorder using RBDSQ and Mayo Sleep Questionnaire. Skin biopsies from 43 patients with isolated polysomnography-confirmed REM sleep behavior disorder were used as comparators. RESULTS Dermal alpha-synuclein deposition was more frequently found (81.8% vs. 52.4%, p = 0.05) and was more abundant (p = 0.01) in patients with Parkinson's disease suffering from probable REM sleep behavior disorder compared to patients without REM sleep behavior disorder and was similar to patients with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (79.1%). CONCLUSION The phenotype of REM sleep behavior disorder is associated with high amounts of dermal alpha-synuclein deposition, demonstrating a strong involvement of peripheral nerves in patients with this non-motor symptom and may argue in favor of REM sleep behavior disorder as an indicator of a "body-predominant" subtype of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Personalized medicine promises individualized disease prediction and treatment. The convergence of machine learning (ML) and available multimodal data is key moving forward. We build upon previous work to deliver multimodal predictions of Parkinson's disease (PD) risk and systematically develop a model using GenoML, an automated ML package, to make improved multi-omic predictions of PD, validated in an external cohort. We investigated top features, constructed hypothesis-free disease-relevant networks, and investigated drug-gene interactions. We performed automated ML on multimodal data from the Parkinson's progression marker initiative (PPMI). After selecting the best performing algorithm, all PPMI data was used to tune the selected model. The model was validated in the Parkinson's Disease Biomarker Program (PDBP) dataset. Our initial model showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 89.72% for the diagnosis of PD. The tuned model was then tested for validation on external data (PDBP, AUC 85.03%). Optimizing thresholds for classification increased the diagnosis prediction accuracy and other metrics. Finally, networks were built to identify gene communities specific to PD. Combining data modalities outperforms the single biomarker paradigm. UPSIT and PRS contributed most to the predictive power of the model, but the accuracy of these are supplemented by many smaller effect transcripts and risk SNPs. Our model is best suited to identifying large groups of individuals to monitor within a health registry or biobank to prioritize for further testing. This approach allows complex predictive models to be reproducible and accessible to the community, with the package, code, and results publicly available.

Abstract
ObjectiveAquaporin-4 (AQP4) facilitates a sleep-enhanced interstitial brain waste clearance system. This study was conducted to determine the clinical implication of AQP4 polymorphisms in Parkinson’s disease (PD).MethodsThree-hundred and eighty-two patients with PD and 180 healthy controls with a mean follow-up time of 66.1 months from the Parkinson’s Progression Marker Initiative study were analyzed. We examined whether AQP4 SNPs were associated with an altered rate of motor or cognitive decline using linear mixed model and Cox regression. We then investigated whether AQP4 SNPs were associated with Aβ burden as measured by 18F Florbetapir standard uptake values. Furthermore, we examined if AQP4 SNPs moderated the association between REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and CSF biomarkers.ResultsIn patients with PD, AQP4 rs162009 (AA/AG vs. GG) was associated with slower dementia conversion, better performance in letter-number sequencing and symbol digit modalities, lower Aβ deposition in the putamen, anterior cingulum, and frontotemporal areas. In the subgroup of high RBD screening questionnaire score, rs162009 AA/AG had a higher CSF Aβ42 level. rs162009 AA/AG also had better performance in semantic fluency in healthy controls. Besides, rs68006382 (GG/GA vs. AA) was associated with faster progression to mild cognitive impairment, worse performance in letter-number sequencing, semantic fluency, and symbol digit modalities in patients with PD.InterpretationGenetic variations of AQP4 and subsequent alterations of glymphatic efficacy might contribute to an altered rate of cognitive decline in PD. AQP4 rs162009 is likely a novel genetic prognostic marker of glymphatic function and cognitive decline in PD.

Abstract
Background and Purpose Rapid eye movement (REM) Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a common non-motor symptom of PD. However, the association between the SNCA rs3910105 genotype and RBD in Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains unclear. Methods This study used Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) data and included 270 patients with newly diagnosed PD without RBD who were divided into SNCA rs3910105 C carriers (CC+CT; n = 187) and TT carriers (n = 83). They were followed up for 5 years to identify the development of RBD. To investigate the influence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) alpha-synuclein (α-syn) and β-amyloid 1–42 (Aβ42) in the association between rs3910105 and RBD, the patients were additionally classified into “high-level” and “low-level” groups using cutoff values for CSF α-syn and Aβ42 levels. Results At baseline, the rs3910105 C allele group had lower CSF α-syn and Aβ42 levels than the TT group. During the 5.0-year follow-up, the rs3910105 C allele group had a higher incidence of RBD than the TT group. In the subgroup analyses, the effect of the rs3910105 C allele was not found in the “low-level” group. However, in the “high-level” group, the rs3910105 C allele independently increased the risk of RBD. Conclusion The SNCA rs3910105 C allele might be a novel genetic risk factor for RBD development in PD, α-syn pathways might have a role in this association and more basic research would be needed to elucidate the mechanism in the future.

Abstract
Braak's hypothesis has been extremely influential over the last two decades. However, neuropathological and clinical evidence suggest that the model does not conform to all patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). To resolve this controversy, a new model was recently proposed; in brain-first PD, the initial α-synuclein pathology arise inside the central nervous system, likely rostral to the substantia nigra pars compacta, and spread via interconnected structures - eventually affecting the autonomic nervous system; in body-first PD, the initial pathological α-synuclein originates in the enteric nervous system with subsequent caudo-rostral propagation to the autonomic and central nervous system. By using REM-sleep behavior disorder (RBD) as a clinical identifier to distinguish between body-first PD (RBD-positive at motor symptom onset) and brain-first PD (RBD-negative at motor symptom onset), we explored the literature to evaluate clinical and imaging differences between these proposed subtypes. Body-first PD patients display: 1) a larger burden of autonomic symptoms - in particular orthostatic hypotension and constipation, 2) more frequent pathological α-synuclein in peripheral tissues, 3) more brainstem and autonomic nervous system involvement in imaging studies, 4) more symmetric striatal dopaminergic loss and motor symptoms, and 5) slightly more olfactory dysfunction. In contrast, only minor cortical metabolic alterations emerge before motor symptoms in body-first. Brain-first PD is characterized by the opposite clinical and imaging patterns. Patients with pathological LRRK2 genetic variants mostly resemble a brain-first PD profile whereas patients with GBA variants typically conform to a body-first profile. SNCA-variant carriers are equally distributed between both subtypes. Overall, the literature indicates that body-first and brain-first PD might be two distinguishable entities on some clinical and imaging markers.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is defined by its motor symptoms rigidity, tremor, and akinesia. However, non-motor symptoms, particularly autonomic disorders and sleep disturbances, occur frequently in PD causing equivalent or even greater discomfort than motor symptoms effectively decreasing quality of life in patients and caregivers. Most common sleep disturbances in PD are insomnia, sleep disordered breathing, excessive daytime sleepiness, REM sleep behavior disorder, and sleep-related movement disorders such as restless legs syndrome. Despite their high prevalence, therapeutic options in the in- and outpatient setting are limited, partly due to lack of scientific evidence. The importance of sleep disturbances in neurodegenerative diseases has been further emphasized by recent evidence indicating a bidirectional relationship between neurodegeneration and sleep. A more profound insight into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms intertwining sleep and neurodegeneration might lead to unique and individually tailored disease modifying or even neuroprotective therapeutic options in the long run. Therefore, current evidence concerning the management of sleep disturbances in PD will be discussed with the aim of providing a substantiated scaffolding for clinical decisions in long-term PD therapy.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Our aim is to evaluate the presence of REM sleep without atonia (RWA), the objective hallmark of REM sleep Behaviour Disorder (RBD), as prodromal marker of Parkinson's disease (PD), in an adult cohort of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22qDS). METHODS Sleep quality was assessed by means of Pittsburgh quality scale index (PSQI), and RBD symptoms by means of RBD questionnaire-Hong-Kong (RBDQ-HK). Attended domiciliary video-Polysomnography (v-PSG) were performed in 26 adults (18-51 years, 14 females) 22qDS patients. Electromyogram during REM sleep was analyzed by means of SINBAR procedure at 3-second time resolution (miniepochs). RESULTS An overall poor sleep quality was observed in the cohort and high RBDQ-HK score in 7 of the 26 patients, two additional patients with positive dream enactment reported by close relatives had low score of RBDQ-HK. Nevertheless, SINBAR RWA scores were lower than cut-off threshold for RWA (mean 5.5%, range 0%-12.2%). TST and the percentage of light sleep (N1) were increased, with preserved proportions of N2 and N3. Participants reported poor quality of sleep (mean PSQI>5), with prolonged sleep latency in the v-PSG. No subjects exhibit evident dream enactment episodes during recording sessions. CONCLUSIONS RWA was absent in the studied cohort of 22qDS adult volunteers according to validated polysomnographic criteria. High RBDQ-HK scores do not correlate with v-PSG results among 22qDS individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to epidemiological studies, Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with probable REM sleep behavior disorder (pRBD) are more prone to develop impulse control disorders (ICDs), which is shown to be present in drug-naïve PD patients, and vice versa. OBJECTIVES To investigate white-matter integrity differences, with and without comorbid pRBD and ICDs. METHODS 149 de-novo PD patients and 30 age- and gender-matched controls from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative were studied. PD subjects were categorized into four groups with and without these comorbidities. We investigated the white matter integrity differences between these groups. RESULTS PDs with only ICDs manifested greater fractional anisotropy (FA) and lower mean diffusivity (MD) in ipsilateral cerebellar connections when compared to controls and to Parkinson's with both comorbid disorders. In contrast, significantly lower FA and higher MD in the ipsilateral fornix-stria-terminalis was observed in PDs with only pRBD compared to controls and to PDs without either comorbid disorder. Also, PDs with only pRBD manifested greater FA in contralateral putamen when compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest the presence of an underlying neural network in PDs with ICDs, particularly involving cerebellar connections, which makes the subjects susceptible to pRBD. Lower white-matter integrity in the fornix of PDs with only pRBD suggests a neuropathological pathway specific to sleep behavior disorder, independent of impulse control disorders. Greater white-matter integrity observed in PDs without comorbid ICDs, regardless of their comorbid pRBD status, might reflect compensatory mechanisms. Targeted therapies for this particular neuropathology may help prevent these comorbidities.

Abstract
Alpha-synuclein seed amplification assays (αSyn-SAAs) are promising diagnostic tools for Parkinson's disease (PD) and related synucleinopathies. They enable detection of seeding-competent alpha-synuclein aggregates in living patients and have shown high diagnostic accuracy in several PD and other synucleinopathy patient cohorts. However, there has been confusion about αSyn-SAAs for their methodology, nomenclature, and relative accuracies when performed by various laboratories. We compared αSyn-SAA results obtained from three independent laboratories to evaluate reproducibility across methodological variations. We utilized the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) cohort, with DATSCAN data available for comparison, since clinical diagnosis of early de novo PD is critical for neuroprotective trials, which often use dopamine transporter imaging to enrich their cohorts. Blinded cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples for a randomly selected subset of PPMI subjects (30 PD, 30 HC, and 20 SWEDD), from both baseline and year 3 collections for the PD and HC groups (140 total CSF samples) were analyzed in parallel by each lab according to their own established and optimized αSyn-SAA protocols. The αSyn-SAA results were remarkably similar across laboratories, displaying high diagnostic performance (sensitivity ranging from 86 to 96% and specificity from 93 to 100%). The assays were also concordant for samples with results that differed from clinical diagnosis, including 2 PD patients determined to be clinically inconsistent with PD at later time points. All three assays also detected 2 SWEDD subjects as αSyn-SAA positive who later developed PD with abnormal DAT-SPECT. These multi-laboratory results confirm the reproducibility and value of αSyn-SAA as diagnostic tools, illustrate reproducibility of the assay in expert hands, and suggest that αSyn-SAA has potential to provide earlier diagnosis with comparable or superior accuracy to existing methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence indicates that the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 exacerbates α-synuclein pathology. OBJECTIVE To determine whether APOE ε4 contributes to motor progression in early Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS Longitudinal data were obtained from 384 patients with PD divided into APOE ε4 carriers (n = 85) and noncarriers (n = 299) in the Parkinson's Progression Marker Initiative. Participants underwent yearly motor assessments over a mean follow-up period of 78.9 months. Repeated measures and linear mixed models were used to test the effects of APOE ε4. RESULTS The motor progression was significantly more rapid in patients with PD carrying APOE ε4 than in noncarriers (β = 0.283, P = 0.026, 95% confidence interval: 0.033-0.532). Through subgroup analysis, we found that the effect of APOE ε4 was significant only in patients with high amyloid β burden (β = 0.761, P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval: 0.0356-1.167). CONCLUSIONS APOE ε4 may be associated with rapid motor progression in PD. © 2021 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
A prodromal phase of Parkinson's disease (PD) may precede motor manifestations by decades. PD patients' siblings are at higher risk for PD, but the prevalence and distribution of prodromal symptoms are unknown. The study objectives were (1) to assess motor and non-motor features estimating prodromal PD probability in PD siblings recruited within the European PROPAG-AGEING project; (2) to compare motor and non-motor symptoms to the well-established DeNoPa cohort. 340 PD siblings from three sites (Bologna, Seville, Kassel/Goettingen) underwent clinical and neurological evaluations of PD markers. The German part of the cohort was compared with German de novo PD patients (dnPDs) and healthy controls (CTRs) from DeNoPa. Fifteen (4.4%) siblings presented with subtle signs of motor impairment, with MDS-UPDRS-III scores not clinically different from CTRs. Symptoms of orthostatic hypotension were present in 47 siblings (13.8%), no different to CTRs (p = 0.072). No differences were found for olfaction and overall cognition; German-siblings performed worse than CTRs in visuospatial-executive and language tasks. 3/147 siblings had video-polysomnography-confirmed REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), none was positive on the RBD Screening Questionnaire. 173/300 siblings had <1% probability of having prodromal PD; 100 between 1 and 10%, 26 siblings between 10 and 80%, one fulfilled the criteria for prodromal PD. According to the current analysis, we cannot confirm the increased risk of PD siblings for prodromal PD. Siblings showed a heterogeneous distribution of prodromal PD markers and probability. Additional parameters, including strong disease markers, should be investigated to verify if these results depend on validity and sensitivity of prodromal PD criteria, or if siblings' risk is not elevated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) comorbid with rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) may show more severe motor and nonmotor symptoms, suggesting a distinct PD subtype. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of RBD on the longitudinal change of motor and nonmotor symptoms in patients with PD. METHODS Patients with early PD (diagnosed within 3.5 years) recruited from 2010 to 2019 were followed every 18 months in the Oxford Parkinson's Disease Centre Discovery cohort. At each visit, we used standard questionnaires and measurements to assess demographic features and motor and nonmotor symptoms (including RBD, daytime sleepiness, mood, autonomic symptoms, cognition, and olfaction). Data were analyzed with linear mixed effects and Cox regression models. Possible RBD (pRBD) was longitudinally determined according to RBD Screening Questionnaire scores. RESULTS A total of 923 patients were recruited (mean age: 67.1 ± 9.59 years; 35.9% female), and 788 had follow-up assessment(s) (mean: 4.8 ± 1.98 years, range: 1.3-8.3). Among them, 33.3% were identified as pRBD (PD + pRBD). Patients with PD + pRBD had more severe baseline symptoms and showed faster progression on Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale parts I and III, Purdue Pegboard test, and Beck Depression Inventory scores. Moreover, PD + pRBD was associated with an increased level of risk for mild cognitive impairment (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.36, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.83), freezing of gait (HR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.10-1.86), and frequent falling (HR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.02-2.60). CONCLUSIONS Patients with PD + pRBD progress faster on motor, mood, and cognitive symptoms, confirming a more aggressive PD subtype that can be identified at baseline and has major clinical implications. © 2021 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
Background The presence of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) contributes to increase cognitive impairment and brain atrophy in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the impact of sex is unclear. We aimed to investigate sex differences in cognition and brain atrophy in PD patients with and without probable RBD (pRBD). Methods Magnetic resonance imaging and cognition data were obtained for 274 participants from the Parkinson's Progression Marker Initiative database: 79 PD with pRBD (PD-pRBD; male/female, 54/25), 126 PD without pRBD (PD-non pRBD; male/female, 73/53), and 69 healthy controls (male/female, 40/29). FreeSurfer was used to obtain volumetric and cortical thickness data. Results Males showed greater global cortical and subcortical gray matter atrophy than females in the PD-pRBD group. Significant group-by-sex interactions were found in the pallidum. Structures showing a within-group sex effect in the deep gray matter differed, with significant volume reductions for males in one structure in in PD-non pRBD (brainstem), and three in PD-pRBD (caudate, pallidum and brainstem). Significant group-by-sex interactions were found in Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Symbol Digits Modalities Test (SDMT). Males performed worse than females in MoCA, phonemic fluency and SDMT in the PD-pRBD group. Conclusion Male sex is related to increased cognitive impairment and subcortical atrophy in de novo PD-pRBD. Accordingly, we suggest that sex differences are relevant and should be considered in future clinical and translational research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have hypothesized that Parkinson's disease (PD) comprises two subtypes. Brain-first, where pathogenic α-synuclein initially forms unilaterally in one hemisphere leading to asymmetric nigrostriatal degeneration, and body-first with initial enteric pathology, which spreads through overlapping vagal innervation leading to more symmetric brainstem involvement and hence more symmetric nigrostriatal degeneration. Isolated REM sleep behaviour disorder has been identified as a strong marker of the body-first type. OBJECTIVE To analyse striatal asymmetry in [18F]FDOPA PET and [123I]FP-CIT DaT SPECT data from iRBD patients, de novo PD patients with RBD (PD +RBD) and de novo PD patients without RBD (PD - RBD). These groups were defined as prodromal body-first, de novo body-first, and de novo brain-first, respectively. METHODS We included [18F]FDOPA PET scans from 21 iRBD patients, 11 de novo PD +RBD, 22 de novo PD - RBD, and 18 controls subjects. Also, [123I]FP-CIT DaT SPECT data from iRBD and de novo PD patients with unknown RBD status from the PPPMI dataset was analysed. Lowest putamen specific binding ratio and putamen asymmetry index (AI) was defined. RESULTS Nigrostriatal degeneration was significantly more symmetric in patients with RBD versus patients without RBD or with unknown RBD status in both FDOPA (p = 0.001) and DaT SPECT (p = 0.001) datasets. CONCLUSION iRBD subjects and de novo PD +RBD patients present with significantly more symmetric nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration compared to de novo PD - RBD patients. The results support the hypothesis that body-first PD is characterized by more symmetric distribution most likely due to more symmetric propagation of pathogenic α-synuclein compared to brain-first PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Online tools for data collection could be of value in patient-oriented research. The Fox Insight (FI) study collects data online from individuals with self-reported Parkinson's disease (PD). Comparing the FI cohort to other cohorts assessed through more traditional (in-person) observational research studies would inform the representativeness and utility of FI data. OBJECTIVE To compare self-reported demographic characteristics, symptoms, medical history, and PD medication use of the FI PD cohort to other recent observational research study cohorts assessed with in-person visits. METHODS The FI PD cohort (n = 12,654) was compared to 3 other cohorts, selected based on data accessibility and breadth of assessments: Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI; PD n = 422), Parkinson's Disease Biomarker Program (PDBP; n = 700), and PD participants in the LRRK2 consortium without LRRK2 mutations (n = 508). Demographics, motor and non-motor assessments, and medications were compared across cohorts. Where available, identical items on surveys and assessments were compared; otherwise, expert opinion was used to determine comparable definitions for a given variable. RESULTS The proportion of females was significantly higher in FI (45.56%) compared to PPMI (34.36%) and PDBP (35.71%). The FI cohort had greater educational attainment as compared to all other cohorts. Overall, prevalence of difficulties with motor experiences of daily living and non-motor symptoms in the FI cohort was similar to other cohorts, with only a few significant differences that were generally small in magnitude. Missing data were rare for the FI cohort, except on a few variables. DISCUSSION Patterns of responses to patient-reported assessments obtained online on the PD cohort of the FI study were similar to PD cohorts assessed in-person.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Olfactory or autonomic dysfunction is one of the earliest prodromal symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). It has not been investigated whether PD patients have different phenotypes depending on the presence of these prodromal symptoms. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether hyposmia-dominant and dysautonomia-dominant patients with early PD have different clinical manifestations and nigrostriatal degeneration. METHODS This cross-sectional study recruited 168 drug-naive PD patients and 34 control subjects. PD patients were classified as patients without hyposmia and dysautonomia (PD-H-D-, n = 51), hyposmia-dominant patients (PD-H+D-, n = 36), dysautonomia-dominant patients (PD-H-D+, n = 33), and patients with hyposmia and dysautonomia (PD-H+D+, n = 48). We then compared the baseline clinical characteristics, striatal specific to non-specific binding ratio (SNBR), neuropsychological performance, and neuropsychiatric symptoms among the groups. RESULTS The PD-H+D-group had a lower SNBR in the ventral striatum (p = 0.013), a greater asymmetric index of striatal SNBRs, and higher prevalence of apathy (p = 0.021) than the PD-H-D+ group. The PD-H-D+ group had older age at onset (p = 0.043) and a higher prevalence of REM sleep behavior disorder (p = 0.041) than the PD-H+D-group. The PD-H+D+ group had higher motor deficits, lower cognitive function, and lower SNBRs in all striatal subregions than the PD-H-D-group. Decreased SNBRs in the anterior caudate, posterior caudate, and ventral striatum were associated with the presence of apathy. CONCLUSION The present study suggests that hyposmia-dominant and dysautonomia-dominant PD have different clinical characteristics and patterns of striatal dopamine depletion.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Few studies have analyzed the prevalence of isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) giving different estimates. Aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of isolated RBD in the city of Catania. METHODS A three-stage design was adopted. Participants attending the cabinets of General Practitioners in the city of Catania were screened with the RBD1Q questionnaire (Stage I). Positive participants were interviewed by phone and if suspected of RBD, were invited for clinical examination by a movement disorders specialist and a sleep specialist (Stage II). After the clinical examination, patients diagnosed as probable isolated RBD (pRBD) were invited to undergo a video polysomnography (VPSG) (Stage III) to confirm the diagnosis of definite RBD (dRBD). RESULTS A total of 1,524 participants have been screened. Of these, 220 (14.4%) screened positive. One-hundred-forty-three of them were further screened by phone, of whom 75 were suspected RBD. Thirty-six patients were diagnosed as pRBD giving a prevalence of 2.36% (95%CI 1.71-3.25). Twelve pRBD agreed to a VPSG and, of these, four were diagnosed as dRBD giving a prevalence of 0.26% (95%CI 0.07-0.67). Prevalence adjusted by non-participants was 3.48% (95%CI 2.67-4.52) and 1.18% (95%CI 0.45-1.37) for pRBD and dRBD respectively. CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of both pRBD and dRBD in Italy is comparable to the estimates reported in literature, confirming that isolated RBD has a low prevalence in the general population.

Abstract
Sleep disorders in Parkinson disease have attracted the attention of clinicians and researchers for decades. Recently, major advances in their clinical characterization, polysomnographic description, pathophysiologic understanding, and treatment took place. Parkinson disease encompasses the whole spectrum of sleep medicine: every category of sleep disorder can be observed in these patients. Video polysomnography frequently is indicated, sometimes followed by multiple sleep latency/maintenance of wakefulness tests. Additional studies may include actigraphy, cardiorespiratory polygraphy, and dim light melatonin assessment. Treatment needs to be specific to the underlying sleep disorder and can include medications and nondrug treatments, for example, behavioral therapy and light therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and olfactory dysfunction are useful for early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). RBD and severe olfactory dysfunction are also regarded as risk factors for cognitive impairment in PD. This study aimed to assess the associations between RBD, olfactory function, and clinical symptoms in patients with PD. METHODS The participants were 404 patients with non-demented PD. Probable RBD (pRBD) was determined using the Japanese version of the RBD screening questionnaire (RBDSQ-J) and the RBD Single-Question Screen (RBD1Q). Olfactory function was evaluated using the odor identification test for Japanese. Clinical symptoms were evaluated using the Movement Disorder Society Revision of the Unified PD Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) parts I-IV. RESULTS In total, 134 (33.2%) patients indicated a history of pRBD as determined by the RBD1Q and 136 (33.7%) by the RBDSQ-J based on a cutoff value of 6 points. Moreover, 101 patients were diagnosed as pRBD by both questionnaires, 35 by the RBDSQ-J only, and 33 by the RBD1Q only. The MDS-UPDRS parts I-III scores were significantly higher and disease duration significantly longer in the pRBD group. pRBD was significantly associated with male gender and the MDS-UPDRS part I score. The olfactory identification function was significantly reduced in the pRBD group. CONCLUSIONS About 33% of the patients with PD had pRBD based on the questionnaires, and both motor and non-motor functions were significantly decreased in these patients. These results suggest that more extensive degeneration occurred in patients with non-demented PD with RBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND REM behavior disorder (RBD) can occur in the context of neurodegenerative alpha-synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson's disease (PD). PD patients with RBD (PD-pRBD) represent more severe symptoms and signs compared with those without RBD (PD-nRBD). On another note, autonomic dysfunction in PD patients is categorized as one of the most prominent non-motor symptoms and has been lately the field of interest in research. OBJECTIVE In the current study, we longitudinally studied autonomic dysfunction in PD-pRBD and PD-nRBD groups. METHOD This study was conducted on 420 drug-naïve PD patients selected from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative database. The RBD Screening Questionnaire was used to define the presence of probable RBD. SCOPA-AUT was used to assess autonomic dysfunction. Additionally, dopamine transporter deficits on [123I] FP-CIT SPECT imaging was performed for all of the patients. RESULTS Out of 420 PD patients, 158 individuals (37.6%) were considered to have probable RBD (PD-pRBD) and others without RBD (PD-nRBD). Except for pupillomotor function, all the autonomic symptoms were significantly more severe in PD-pRBD group. In PD-nRBD group, caudate striatal binding ratio was negatively correlated with SCOPA-AUT scores, while no significant correlation was observed in PD-pRBD group. Finally, there was a significant difference considering the longitudinal changes of SCOPA-AUT total between PD-pRBD and PD-nRBD groups, suggesting a more severe autonomic decline in PD-pRBD patients. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that PD-pRBD patients have more severe autonomic dysfunction. These results support the theory that PD patients can be categorized based on the clinical presentation, possibly representing differences in the disease pathophysiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assays that specifically measure α-synuclein seeding activity in biological fluids could revolutionize the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Recent improvements in α-synuclein real-time quaking-induced conversion assays of cerebrospinal fluid have dramatically reduced reaction times from 5-13 days down to 1-2 days. OBJECTIVE To test our improved assay against a panel of cerebrospinal fluid specimens from patients with Parkinson's disease and healthy controls from the MJ Fox Foundation/NINDS BioFIND collection. METHODS Specimens collected from healthy controls and patients with clinically typical moderate-to-advanced Parkinson's disease were tested without prior knowledge of disease status. Correlative analyses between assay parameters and clinical measures were performed by an independent investigator. RESULTS BioFIND samples gave positive signals in 105/108 (97%) Parkinson's disease cases versus 11/85 (13%) healthy controls. Receiver operating characteristic analyses of diagnosis of cases versus healthy controls gave areas under the curve of 95%. Beyond binary positive/negative determinations, only weak correlations were observed between various assay response parameters and Parkinson's disease clinical measures or other cerebrospinal fluid analytes. Of note, REM sleep behavioral disorder questionnaire scores correlated with the reaction times needed to reach 50% maximum fluorescence. Maximum fluorescence was inversely correlated with Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale motor scores, which was driven by the patients without REM sleep behavioral disorder. CONCLUSIONS Our improved α-synuclein seed amplification assay dramatically reduces the time needed to diagnose Parkinson's disease while maintaining the high-performance standards associated with previous α-synuclein seed assays, supporting the clinical utility of this assay for Parkinson's disease diagnosis.

Abstract
The rapid eye movement sleep behavioural disorder (RBD) population is an ideal study population for testing disease-modifying treatments for synucleinopathies, since RBD represents an early prodromal stage of synucleinopathy when neuropathology may be more responsive to treatment. While clonazepam and melatonin are most commonly used as symptomatic treatments for RBD, clinical trials of symptomatic treatments are also needed to identify evidence-based treatments. A comprehensive framework for both disease-modifying and symptomatic treatment trials in RBD is described, including potential treatments in the pipeline, cost-effective participant recruitment and selection, study design, outcomes and dissemination of results. For disease-modifying treatment clinical trials, the recommended primary outcome is phenoconversion to an overt synucleinopathy, and stratification features should be used to select a study population at high risk of phenoconversion, to enable more rapid clinical trials. For symptomatic treatment clinical trials, objective polysomnogram-based measurement of RBD-related movements and vocalisations should be the primary outcome measure, rather than subjective scales or diaries. Mobile technology to enable objective measurement of RBD episodes in the ambulatory setting, and advances in imaging, biofluid, tissue, and neurophysiological biomarkers of synucleinopathies, will enable more efficient clinical trials but are still in development. Increasing awareness of RBD among the general public and medical community coupled with timely diagnosis of these diseases will facilitate progress in the development of therapeutics for RBD and associated neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is highly comorbid with Parkinson's disease (PD). Emerging evidence suggests that dopamine-replacement therapies (DRTs) for PD may modify the course of RBD, yet the nature of the association between DRTs and RBD remains unclear. To begin addressing this issue, we conducted a preliminary retrospective study to document whether DRTs are associated with the occurrence of RBD symptoms in PD patients. METHODS The study included 250 PD patients who were screened for probable RBD via the RBD Screening Questionnaire (RBDSQ). For each patient, disease severity data were collected, in addition to their therapy and the associated levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD). The association between DRTs and RBDSQ scores was analyzed using logistic regression and correlation models. RESULTS RBD scores were found to be associated with the LEDD of levodopa alone, but not of dopaminergic agonists (mainly D2/D3 receptor agonists) or their combination with levodopa. This association was not accounted for patient age or Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) severity scores. CONCLUSIONS Our study detected a significant association between doses of levodopa and RBD symptoms in PD patients. Future longitudinal studies are needed to establish what causal nexus may link these variables.

Abstract
Sleep disorder is a medical disease of the sleep patterns, which commonly suffered by the elderly. Sleep disorders diagnosis and treatment are considered to be challenging due to a time-consuming and inconvenient process for the patient. Moreover, the use of Polysomnography (PSG) in sleep disorder diagnosis is a high-cost process. Therefore, we propose an efficient classification method of sleep disorder by merely using electrocardiography (ECG) signals to simplify the sleep disorders diagnosis process. Different from many current related studies that applied a five-minute epoch to observe the main frequency band of the ECG signal, we perform a pre-processing technique that suitable for the 30-seconds epoch of the ECG signal. By this simplification, the proposed method has a low computational cost so that suitable to be implemented in an embedded hardware device. Structurally, the proposed method consists of five stages: (1) pre-processing, (2) spectral features extraction, (3) sleep stage detection using the Decision-Tree-Based Support Vector Machine (DTB-SVM), (4) assess the sleep quality features, and (5) sleep disorders classification using ensemble of bagged tree classifiers. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method in the task of classifying the sleep disorders into four classes (insomnia, Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB), REM Behavior Disorder (RBD), and healthy subjects) from the 51 patients of the Cyclic Alternating Pattern (CAP) sleep data. Based on experimental results, the proposed method presents 84.01% of sensitivity, 94.17% of specificity, 86.27% of overall accuracy, and 0.70 of Cohen’s kappa. This result indicates that the proposed method able to reliably classify the sleep disorders merely using the 30-seconds epoch ECG in order to address the issue of a multichannel signal such as the PSG.

Abstract
Objective To determine prevalence of REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) [prodromal Lewy body disease] in Sun City, Arizona. Patients and methods We attempted, by telephone and mail, a survey using the RBD single item question for probable RBD (pRBD) and the Innsbruck RBD Inventory. Individuals answering “yes” to 4/5 Inventory questions were considered to have high likelihood RBD (HL-RBD.) Results Response rate was 484/3000 individuals contacted (16%), mean age 78; 48 (9.9%) endorsed pRBD by RBD1Q; 16 (3.3%) had HL-pRBD. Prevalence of idiopathic cases (without neurodegenerative disease) was 8.8% pRBD and 2.8% HL-RBD. Conclusion Our estimated definite RBD prevalence of 1.7% (61.3% of HL-RBD) was similar to previous community-based studies.

Abstract
Sleep disturbances are common in Parkinson's disease and comprise the entire spectrum of sleep disorders. On the one hand regulation of sleep and wakefulness is affected in Parkinson's disease, leading to the development of disorders, such as insomnia and daytime sleepiness. While on the other hand control of motor activity during sleep is impaired, with subsequent manifestation of parasomnias (mainly REM sleep behavior disorders, but also, albeit more rarely, sleepwalking, and overlap parasomnia). Restless legs syndrome has been reported to be frequent in patients with Parkinson's disease, although there is no consensus on whether it is more frequent in Parkinson's disease than in the general population. The same is true for sleep-related breathing disorders. Regarding the diagnosis of sleep disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease, one of the main challenges is correctly identifying excessive daytime sleepiness as there are many potential confounding factors, for example it is necessary to distinguish sleep-related breathing disorders from medication effects, and to distinguish restless legs syndrome from the concomitant presence of potential mimics specific to Parkinson's disease, such as akathisia, nocturnal leg cramps, nocturnal hypokinesia, early morning dystonia, etc. The correct diagnosis of REM sleep behavior disorder is also not always easy, and video-polysomnography should be performed in order to exclude mimic-like movements at the end of sleep apneas or violent periodic leg movements of sleep. These aspects and specific considerations about diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease will be reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep-related disorders are a group of illnesses with marked effects on patients' quality of life and functional ability. Their diagnosis and treatment is a matter of common interest to multiple medical disciplines. METHODS This review is based on relevant publications retrieved by a selective search in PubMed (Medline) and on the guide- lines of the German Society for Sleep Medicine, the German Neurological Society, and the German Association for Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics. RESULTS A pragmatic classification of sleep disorders by their three chief complaints-insomnia, daytime somnolence, and sleep-associated motor phenomena-enables tentative diagnoses that are often highly accurate. Some of these disorders can be treated by primary care physicians, while others call for referral to a neurologist or psychiatrist with special experience in sleep medicine. For patients suffering from insomnia as a primary sleep disorder, rather than a symptom of another disease, meta-analyses have shown the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy, with high average effect sizes. These patients, like those suffering from secondary sleep disorders, can also benefit from drug treatment for a limited time. Studies have shown marked improvement of sleep latency and sleep duration from short-term treatment with benzodiazepines and Z-drugs (non- benzodiazepine agonists such as zolpidem and zopiclone), but not without a risk of tolerance and dependence. For sleep disorders with the other two main manifestations, specific drug therapy has been found to be beneficial. CONCLUSION Sleep disorders in neurology and psychiatry are a heterogeneous group of disorders with diverse manifestations. Their proper diagnosis and treatment can help prevent secondary diseases and the worsening of concomitant conditions. Care structures for the treatment of sleep disorders should be further developed.

Abstract
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia that is characterized by loss of muscle atonia during REM sleep (known as REM sleep without atonia, or RSWA) and abnormal behaviours occurring during REM sleep, often as dream enactments that can cause injury. RBD is categorized as either idiopathic RBD or symptomatic (also known as secondary) RBD; the latter is associated with antidepressant use or with neurological diseases, especially α-synucleinopathies (such as Parkinson disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy) but also narcolepsy type 1. A clinical history of dream enactment or complex motor behaviours together with the presence of muscle activity during REM sleep confirmed by video polysomnography are mandatory for a definite RBD diagnosis. Management involves clonazepam and/or melatonin and counselling and aims to suppress unpleasant dreams and behaviours and improve bedpartner quality of life. RSWA and RBD are now recognized as manifestations of an α-synucleinopathy; most older adults with idiopathic RBD will eventually develop an overt neurodegenerative syndrome. In the future, studies will likely evaluate neuroprotective therapies in patients with idiopathic RBD to prevent or delay α-synucleinopathy-related motor and cognitive decline.
