Lee J, Sohn YH, Chung SJ, Kim E, Kim Y. Presentations of nonmotor symptoms by sex and onset age in people with Parkinson's disease. Int J Nurs Pract 2024; 30:e13177. [PMID: 37394896 DOI: 10.1111/ijn.13177] [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: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is growing evidence that sex and onset age are important factors of clinical features in Parkinson's disease. AIM The study aimed to identify nonmotor symptoms based on sex and onset age in people with Parkinson's disease. DESIGN This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. METHODS A total of 210 participants were recruited from the university hospital and the Parkinson's disease association. This study measured the Korean version of the nonmotor symptoms questionnaire which includes gastrointestinal, urinary, apathy/attention/memory, hallucination/delusions, depression/anxiety, sexual function, cardiovascular, sleep disorder, and miscellaneous domains. RESULTS All participants reported at least one nonmotor symptom. The most commonly reported symptoms were nocturia (65.7%) and constipation (61.9%). The male participants reported more dribbling of saliva, constipation, and impaired sexual function, whereas the female reported more weight change. Young-onset people with Parkinson's disease reported more depression than late-onset people with Parkinson's disease. CONCLUSION This study contributes to the understanding of symptom experience beyond motor-related symptomatology for those with Parkinson's disease and adds to the current literature. Individualized symptom assessment and management should be provided by prioritizing prevalent sex or onset age-specific symptoms, rather than addressing with all nonmotor symptoms.

Validation study of the Japanese version of the King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Scale and the King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Questionnaire. Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2024; 120:106012. [PMID: 38290410 DOI: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2024.106012] [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: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Scale (KPPS)/King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Questionnaire (KPPQ) was developed as a tool to quantitatively assess pain in patients with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). Here, we conducted a Japanese multicenter validation study to verify the reliability of KPPS/KPPQ in Japanese PwPD. METHODS PwPD, ≥20 years, with unexplained pain were included; those with a definitive primary cause of pain other than PD were excluded. A total of 151 patients who fulfilled the criteria were analyzed, and test-retest reliability was investigated in 25 individuals. RESULTS The 151 patients included 101 women (66.9 %); mean age 68.3 ± 9.9 years, mean disease duration 9.2 ± 5.2 years. The most frequent pain type in the KPPS classification was musculoskeletal pain (82.8 %). There was a positive correlation between KPPS total score and the Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) total score, NMSS item 27, the Parkinson's disease sleep scale-version 2 (PDSS-2) total score, PDSS-2 item 10, the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-8 (PDQ-8) summary index and PDQ-8 item 7. Cronbach's alpha of KPPS was 0.626 (0.562-0.658) and the intraclass correlation coefficient of test-retest reliability was 0.740. Cronbach's alpha of KPPQ was 0.660 (0.617-0.705) and a test-retest reliability of kappa coefficient was 0.593 (0.0-1.0). CONCLUSIONS KPPS correlated well with other scales for assessing pain. KPPS correlated well with patients' quality of life, non-motor symptoms, and sleep disturbances. The reproducibility of KPPS/KPPQ makes it suitable for continuous evaluation of the same patient. On the other hand, the internal consistency of KPPS/KPPQ is rather low.

Abstract
Introduction The clinical implementation of chronic electrophysiology-driven adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) algorithms in movement disorders requires reliable representation of motor and non-motor symptoms in electrophysiological biomarkers, throughout normal life (naturalistic). To achieve this, there is the need for high-resolution and -quality chronic objective and subjective symptom monitoring in parallel to biomarker recordings. To realize these recordings, an active participation and engagement of the investigated patients is necessary. To date, there has been little research into patient engagement strategies for DBS patients or chronic electrophysiological recordings. Concepts and results We here present our concept and the first results of a patient engagement strategy for a chronic DBS study. After discussing the current state of literature, we present objectives, methodology and consequences of the patient engagement regarding study design, data acquisition, and study infrastructure. Nine patients with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers participated in the meeting, and their input led to changes to our study design. Especially, the patient input helped us designing study-set-up meetings and support structures. Conclusion We believe that patient engagement increases compliance and study motivation through scientific empowerment of patients. While considering patient opinion on sensors or questionnaire questions may lead to more precise and reliable data acquisition, there was also a high demand for study support and engagement structures. Hence, we recommend the implementation of patient engagement in planning of chronic studies with complex designs, long recording durations or high demand for individual active study participation.

Abstract
Background Non-motor symptoms (NMS) are compulsory clinical features for the clinical diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA), some of which precede motor symptoms onset. To date, few studies have systematically investigated NMS in MSA and the timing of presenting NMS as the disease progresses. Clinically, MSA is difficult to be differentiated from Parkinson's disease (PD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and the differences in NMS between MSA and PD/PSP remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the burden of NMS between MSA and PD/PSP and to delineate the timing of NMS presentation relative to the onset of motor symptoms in MSA. Methods A total of 61, 87, and 30 patients with MSA, PD, and PSP, respectively, were enrolled in this study. NMS was systematically assessed in all patients using the NMS scale (NMSS), and the onset of NMS relative to the onset of motor symptoms in MSA was investigated. Results MSA group had higher total NMSS scores (82.15 ± 46.10) than the PD (36.14 ± 30.78) and PSP (50.30 ± 55.05) groups (p < 0.001 overall). The number distribution pattern of the NMS was significantly different among the three parkinsonian disorders (p < 0.001 overall). In total, 85.2% of patients with MSA had more than 10 NMS, which was significantly higher than PD (28.7%) and PSP (33.3%). The frequency and scores of many NMSS subdomains and symptoms were higher in MSA than in PD and PSP (all p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that patients with fainting, lack of motivation, swallowing, and loss of sexual interest could be attributed to MSA rather than PD or PSP, while patients with loss of concentration and forgetfulness were characteristic features of PD or PSP rather than MSA. REM-sleep behavior disorder (RBD), constipation, problems having sex, and loss of sexual interest preceded the motor symptoms onset of MSA by 2.81 ± 4.51, 1.54 ± 6.32, 1.35 ± 4.70, and 0.45 ± 3.61 years, respectively. Conclusion The NMS spectrum in MSA differs from that of PD and PSP. Patients with MSA have a higher NMS burden than patients with PD or PSP. RBD, constipation, problems having sex, and loss of sexual interest may become early diagnostic clinical markers of MSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease (PD) varies among geographical regions. Cultural differences in patient-based perceptions of LID have not been studied. OBJECTIVE We compared patient and clinician evaluations of LID severity across multiple cultures in patients with PD. METHODS The data set included the Unified Dyskinesia Rating (UDysRS) scores from 16 language translation programs (3566 patients). We defined the Perception Severity Index (PSI) as the ratio between normalized patient-based subjective ratings (UDysRS Part 1B) and normalized clinician examination (Parts 3 and 4) scores (Part 1B/Parts 3 + 4) and compared the PSI across languages. RESULTS The mean PSI for the Chinese language (2.16) was higher than those of all other languages, whereas the ratio for the Korean language (0.73) was lower than those for Japanese, German, Turkish, Greek, Polish, and Finnish languages (corrected P values <0.05). CONCLUSIONS Culture, as represented by language, affects the subjective perception of LID and needs to be considered in multinational clinical PD trials on dyskinesia. © 2023 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common degenerative movement disorder. It is featured by motor manifestations and up till now the clinical diagnosis is based on them. Since the progress in the symptomatic treatment of PD and the longer survival of patients, non-motor manifestations (NMM) were more recognized and considered to be significant. The importance of NMM is that they reflect the more diffuse pathology of PD and may represent an opportunity of earlier diagnosis and treatment. Here in this cross-sectional study, we try to estimate the frequency of such manifestations in PD patients in the country. Using slightly modified PD non-motor (28 of 30 responses) questionnaire (NMS Quest), we studied the incidence of NMM in 100 PD patients attending one major teaching hospital and compared their occurrence in 130 age- and gender-matched non-PD controls.
Results
Out of 100 PD patients (40% females) mean age 67.4 ± 12 with disease duration of 7.3 ± 5.8, range < 1–33.2 years), and 130 control subjects (48.5% females), mean age 65.0 ± 7.0. PD patients had 8.6 ± 5.3 NMM while controls had 3.4 ± 3.3 NMM, respectively (p < 0.00001 t test). Constipation, urgency, insomnia, sad feeling, panic, light headedness and recent memory impairment were the most prevalent NMM in PD compared to controls, while nocturia, restless legs, encopresis and falling were not different in the two groups. The number of NMM ranged from 0 to 21 in PD patients with 50% having ≥ 8 manifestations. The number of NMM did not correlate with age, gender, or disease duration as defined by the classical motor symptoms. Frequency of 23 of these 28 manifestations differed significantly in PD patients compared to controls.
Conclusions
This study confirms that NMM in Jordanian PD patients are very common as reported in other populations. This signifies the universal prevalence of such NMM reflecting their important impact on their daily life and their relevant contribution to better understanding of this disease.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the vagus nerve (VN) dimensional changes with Parkinson’s disease (PD), compared with healthy subjects. Additionally, it is important to investigate whether there is any relationships between these changes and patient’s motor and non-motor symptoms (NMS) of PD. Materials and Methods: A cohort of 43 patients with PD formed a group that was compared with 44 patients without PD, denoted as the healthy subject (HS) group. The diameter and areas of VN of study groups were measured using ultrasonography (US). The study groups were further divided into <65 and ≥65 subgroups, to evaluate the possible effect of age on the VN and evaluated relationships of VN dimensions, between subgroups. In the PD group, a correlational analysis was conducted between the diameter and area of the VN and the motor and NMS scores. Results: There was statistically significant difference in right ( P = .002) and left VN diameters ( P = .007) and in right ( P = .001) and left VN areas ( P = .007), between study groups. There was no significant difference in right and left VN diameters and the right and left VN areas, between subgroups. There was moderately negative correlation between gastrointestinal NMS scores and right VN area ( r = −0.499, P = .002), left VN area ( r = −0.499, P = .002), right VN diameter ( r = −0.378, P = .023), left VN diameter ( r = −0.385, P = .021), respectively. Conclusion: The US demonstrated that VN dimensions may possibly reduce in those patients affected by PD. In this cohort, it appears that an increase in gastrointestinal NMS scores may be explained by atrophy of the VN.

Abstract
Autonomic dysfunction (AutD) is one of the non-motor symptoms (NMSs) in Parkinson's disease (PD). To investigate the prevalence and clinical features of AutD in Chinese patients with PD, a large multicenter cohort of 2,556 individuals with PD were consecutively involved in the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Multicenter Database and Collaborative Network in China (PD-MDCNC) between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019. The assessment of AutD was performed using the Scale for Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease for Autonomic Symptoms (SCOPA-AUT). The evaluation of motor symptoms and other NMSs were performed using well-established scales recommended by the Movement Disorder Society. We found that out of 2,556 patients with PD, 2,333 patients with PD (91.28%) had AutD. Compared with the group of patients with PD without AutD, the group of patients with PD with AutD had older age, older age of onset, longer disease duration, more severe motor symptoms, motor complications, and more frequent NMSs. As for partial correlation analysis, the total SCOPA-AUT score was significantly and positively associated with motor severity scales [Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) total score] and some of the NMSs [Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Questionnaire (RBD), Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Hamilton Depression Scale], Fatigue Severity Scale, and Parkinson's disease questionnaire. PD Sleep Scale was significantly and negatively correlated with AutD. With logistic regression analysis for potentially related factors, age, UPDRS total score, RBD, hyposmia, depression, and fatigue may be associated with PD with AutD. In conclusion, our multicenter cohort study reported the high prevalence of AutD in Chinese PD and revealed the associated factors of PD with AutD.

Background Data on non-motor symptoms (NMS) in black Africans with Parkinson's disease (PD) are sparse. Objective To describe the profile of NMS in the Nigeria PD Registry (NPDR) cohort and explore the relationship between NMS and PD motor phenotype. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study of the frequency and burden of NMS, based on the non-motor symptoms scale (NMSS) and the Chaudhuri method respectively in our cohort. Baseline demographics, disease characteristics (Hoehn and Yahr stage, MDS-UPDRS total score and Part III motor score), motor phenotype (based on Stebbin et al's algorithm), and levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) were documented. Results Data are presented for 825 PD whose mean age at study was 63.7 ± 10.1 years, female sex-221 [26.8%] while median PD duration was 36 months. PD phenotypes included tremor-dominant 466 (56.5%), postural instability and gait disorder (PIGD) 259 (31.4%), and indeterminate 100 (12.1%). 82.6% were on treatment (median LEDD of 500 mg/24 hours). 804 (97.5%) endorsed at least 1 NMS. The median NMSS score was 26.0 while subscores for urinary and sexual function domains were significantly higher in males (P < 0.05). PIGD-PD had more frequent NMS and higher frequency of severe/very severe NMSS burden (P = 0.000 for both). Nocturia and fatigue were the most prevalent NMS overall and across motor subtypes. PIGD phenotype and total UPDRS scores were the independent determinants of NMSS scores (P = 0.000). Conclusion The profile and burden of NMS, and association with motor subtype in our black African cohort is largely similar to descriptions from other populations.

The severity progression of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease: a 6-year longitudinal study in Taiwanese patients. Sci Rep 2021; 11:14781. [PMID: 34285292 PMCID: PMC8292315 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-94255-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Nonmotor symptoms (NMSs) cause major burden in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Previous NMSs progression studies mostly focused on the prevalence. We conducted a longitudinal study to identify the progression pattern by the severity. PD patients recruited from the outpatient clinics of a tertiary medical center were evaluated by the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale and Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS). A retrospective study with three-step analysis was performed. Step 1, the NMSs severity was compared among patients stratified by disease duration every 2 years up to 10 years. Step 2, patients with repeated tests in 2 years were categorized into 4 groups by the diseased duration of every 5 years. Step 3, the NMSS score changes in 6 years follow-up were determined, and the dosage of anti-PD drugs was compared to the NMSs severity changes. 676 patients completed the step 1 analysis, which showed a trend of NMSs worsening but not significant until the disease duration longer than 4-6 years. Furthermore, the severity did not change between repeated evaluations in 2 years in all patients. The progression became apparent after 6 years. Individual symptoms had different progression patterns and the increment of medications was independent to NMSs evolution. We demonstrated the NMSs severity progression in Taiwanese PD patients and the independence of the medications and NMSs progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-motor symptoms (NMSs) of Parkinson's disease (PD) were often overlooked and less studied. Little is known about NMSs in Ethiopia. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of NMSs and associated factors. METHODS A multi-center cross-sectional observational study was conducted. NMS questionnaire was used to screen for the NMSs. Both descriptive and analytical statistics were used to analyze the data. RESULTS Total of 123 PD patients with median of 4 years were investigated. The mean age of PD patients was 62.9 years. The mean age of PD onset was 58.3 years. In 23.6% the age of onset was below age 50. Males accounted 72.4%. Majority of the patients were on Levodopa alone and 31.7% were on levodopa plus trihexyphenidyl. Longer duration of illness was associated with frequent occurrence of NMSs. Constipation was the commonest NMS (78%), followed by urinary urgency (67.5%) and nocturia (63.4%). An unexplained pain was reported by 45.5 %, cognitive impairment (45.5%), and sleep disturbance was reported by 45.5% of the study participants. Neurophysciatric symptoms were reported by small proportion of the patients. Lower monthly earning was associated with swallowing problem, unexplained weight change, and lighheadness. CONCLUSION The prevalence of NMS was high among PD patients in Ethiopia. Constipation was the commonest NMS. Longer duration of illness was associated with frequent occurrence of NMSs. Lower monthly earning was associated with swallowing problem, unexplained weight change, and lighheadness.

Abstract
Growing evidence suggests that non-motor symptoms (NMS) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) have differential progression patterns that have a different natural history from motor progression and may be geographically influenced. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 1607 PD patients of whom 1327 were from Europe, 208 from the Americas, and 72 from Asia. The primary objective was to assess baseline non-motor burden, defined by Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) total scores. Other aims included identifying the factors predicting quality of life, differences in non-motor burden between drug-naïve and non-drug-naïve treated patients, and non-motor phenotypes across different geographical locations. Mean age was 65.9 ± 10.8 years, mean disease duration 6.3 ± 5.6 years, median Hoehn and Yahr stage was 2 (2–3), and 64.2% were male. In this cohort, mean NMSS scores were 46.7 ± 37.2. Differences in non-motor burden and patterns differed significantly between drug-naïve participants, those with a disease duration of less than five years, and those with a duration of five years or over (p ≤ 0.018). Significant differences were observed in geographical distribution (NMSS Europe: 46.4 ± 36.3; Americas: 55.3 ± 42.8; Asia: 26.6 ± 25.1; p < 0.001), with differences in sleep/fatigue, urinary, sexual, and miscellaneous domains (p ≤ 0.020). The best predictor of quality of life was the mood/apathy domain (β = 0.308, p < 0.001). This global study reveals that while non-motor symptoms are globally present with severe NMS burden impacting quality of life in PD, there appear to be differences depending on disease duration and geographical distribution.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to investigate the status quo of family care degree, stigma and psychosocial adaptation of the patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), and discuss the effects of family care degree on stigma and psychosocial adaptation among the patients with PD.
Methods
This study was conducted between September 2018 and April 2019 on patients with PD who were admitted to a Tertiary Grade A hospital in Dalian city. A total of 246 PD patients were investigated by convenience sampling method using self-designed general information questionnaire, along with family care index (APGAR), 24-item Stigma Scale for Chronic Illness (SSCI), and Psychosocial Adjustment Scale (PAS) for PD. And patients were divided into two groups according to the level of family care degree and compared with stigma and psychosocial adaptation.
Results
The total score of family care for patients with PD was 6.97 ± 2.46, family function was good in 132 cases (53.7%), moderate barrier in 92 cases (37.4%), and severe barrier in 22 cases (8.9%). The scores of stigma and psychosocial adaptability and their dimensions in the group with high degree family care were higher than the low degree group.
Conclusions
The overall level of family care for PD patients was poor. Improving family care degree can help patients with PD to reduce stigma and improve psychosocial adaptation.

World J Gastrointest Pharmacol Ther 2021; 12:21-31.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Constipation as a most common non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), has a higher prevalence compared to the general population. The etiologies of constipation in PD are diverse. In addition to physical weakness and other factors of disease, the lifestyles and eating habits are also important factors. Therefore, the prevalence and influencing factors of constipation may vary among different populations.
AIM To determine the prevalence of constipation and analyze relative factors in a cohort of Chinese patients with PD.
METHODS All the patients diagnosed with PD according to the movement disorders society criteria were consecutively collected by a self-developed questionnaire. Rome III diagnostic criteria were used to assess functional constipation and Wexner score was used to estimate the severity of constipation. Non-motor symptoms (NMS) were assessed with the non-motor symptoms assessment scale (NMSS). Unified Parkinson's disease Rating Scale III (UPDRS III) was used to evaluate the severity of motor symptoms. The modified Hoehn-Yahr stage was used to evaluate the severity of PD. Cognitive function was assessed using Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA). Depression and anxiety were rated with the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) and the Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA). Quality of life was assessed using the Parkinson’s disease Questionnaire-39 items (PDQ-39).
RESULTS Of 166 patients enrolled, 87 (52.41%) were accompanied with constipation, and 30 (34.48%) experienced constipation for 6.30 ± 5.06 years before motor symptoms occurred. Age, Hoehn-Yahr stage, disease duration, levodopa medication times, incidence of motor complications, the scores of UPDRS total, UPDRS III, NMSS, HAMD, HAMA, and PDQ-39 in the constipation group were higher than those in the non-constipation group (P < 0.05), but there was no difference in the scores of MoCA, clinical types, or medications between the two groups (P > 0.05). There was a higher incidence of depression in patients with constipation (P < 0.05), but there were no difference in the incidence of anxiety and cognitive impairment between the two groups (P > 0.05). As Hoehn-Yahr stages increased, the severity of constipation increased (P < 0.05), but not the incidence of constipation (P > 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that constipation was moderately positively correlated with age, Hoehn-Yahr stage, and scores of NMSS, UPDRS III, UPDRS total, PDQ-39, HAMD, and HAMA (r = 0.255, 0.172, 0.361, 0.194, 0.221, 0.237, 0.238, and 0.207, P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that only NMSS score was an independent risk factor for constipation (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION Our findings confirm that constipation has a relatively high frequency in patients with PD. PD patients with constipation have a higher incidence of depression, which leads to worse quality of life.

Abstract
Background The concerns of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) about their disease are often different from the objective clinical picture and subject to various influencing factors, including disease progression. Currently our understanding of these concerns is limited, particularly in Asian countries. Methods A 50-item survey on Parkinson’s Disease Patients’ Concerns (PDPC Survey) was developed by a multidisciplinary care team. The subjective greatest concerns (most commonly concerning symptoms) of patients at a specialist centre in Bangkok, Thailand, were explored and categorised according to disease stage and age at onset of PD. Results Data for 222 patients showed concerns varied widely. Motor symptoms giving the greatest concern were problems with walking and/or balance (40.5% of patients), while the most commonly concerning non-motor symptom (NMS) was constipation (41.0%). Patterns were observed amongst different patient subgroups. Early PD patients (H&Y stage 1) were more concerned about NMS than motor symptoms, while the reverse was true for advanced PD patients. Young-onset PD patients showed significantly greater concerns than typical-onset patients about motor symptoms relating to social functioning, working and stigmatisation, such as speech (p = 0.003). Conclusions This study, in an Asian patient cohort, provides an assessment of a wide range of PD patients’ concerns, encompassing not only motor symptoms and NMS, but also treatment-related adverse events, care in the advanced stage, and the need for assistive devices. Identifying the concerns of individual PD patients and implementing a patient-centred approach to care is critical to their wellbeing and optimal outcomes. The PDPC survey can help healthcare teams build a more accurate picture of patients’ experiences to inform clinical management.

Nonmotor symptoms of 820 Taiwanese patients with Parkinson's disease: an exploratory-comparative study. J Neurol 2020; 267:1499-1507.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nonmotor symptoms (NMSs) severely affect the daily quality of life of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Although many studies have documented the clinical characteristics of NMSs in PD patients, some issues remain unaddressed. The severity and gender distribution of NMSs in Asian and the Western patients differ. The correlations between clinical characteristics and NMS manifestations remain unclear. We studied these relationships in a large cohort of Taiwanese PD patients. METHODS Patients with PD were recruited from the outpatient clinic of a tertiary medical center and evaluated with standardized assessment protocols, including the NonMotor Symptoms Scale (NMSS), Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) scale, Mini-Mental Status Examination, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment. RESULTS Among 820 patients enrolled, 41.8% were female. The prevalence of the NMSs was 96.5%, with attention/memory (79.51%) being the most frequently involved domain. The mean severity score on the NMSS was 36.48 ± 34.30. Male patients reported higher NMS prevalence and severity than female patients, mostly in the gastrointestinal tract and urinary domains. We found that the severity of NMSs was correlated with disease duration, UPDRS Part III score, and H&Y stage. CONCLUSION Although they exhibited similar NMS prevalence, Taiwanese PD patients reported less intense NMSs compared with those reported by Western patients. Furthermore, the NMS items our patients emphasized and gender discrepancies were distinct from those in Western studies.

Abstract
Sexual dysfunction is a major non-motor feature of Parkinson’s disease (PD) that may affect the quality of life of many patients. In a Dutch survey, we demonstrated that neurologists often fail to discuss sexuality with their patients. Our objective was to determine to which extent neurologists in Spain and Germany address sexuality with their patients and whether cross-cultural differences exist. A 30-item questionnaire was sent out to 1650 German and 460 Spanish neurologists. The questionnaire addressed attitudes, knowledge, barriers, and feelings of responsibility regarding sexuality in PD. 160 German and 32 Spanish respondents completed and returned the questionnaire. The majority of German and Spanish participants discuss sexual dysfunction ‘regularly’ with male patients (61.7% and 78.9%, respectively), but ‘seldom’ with female patients (68.8% and 78.1%, respectively). Important barriers for German and Spanish respondents to discuss sexual dysfunction were patients not expressing sexual complaints spontaneously (52.9% and 75.0%, respectively) and insufficient consultation time (32.2% and 71.9%, respectively). Sexual dysfunction in PD was considered important by 68.3% of German and 96.9% of Spanish participants. German and Spanish neurologists do not routinely discuss sexual dysfunction with their patients, although many of them consider it important to address this topic. It is unclear why this lack of discussing sexual dysfunction is especially found for female patients and whether cultural aspects are involved. We recommend a self-assessment tool for patients to track their symptoms prior to consultation visits and advocate local guidelines that formulate who is responsible for discussing sexual dysfunction.

Abstract
1·8 billion people of diverse ethnicities and cultures live in the Western Pacific Region. The increasing longevity of populations in this region is a major contributor to the exponential increase in Parkinson's disease prevalence worldwide. Differences exist between Parkinson's disease in the Western Pacific Region and in Europe and North America that might provide important insights into our understanding of the disease and approaches to management. For example, some genetic factors (such as LRRK2 mutations or variants) differ, environmental exposures might play differential roles in modulating the risk of Parkinson's disease, and fewer dyskinesias are reported, with some differences in the profile of non-motor symptoms and comorbidities. Gaps in awareness of the disease and inequitable access to treatments pose challenges. Further improvements in infrastructure, clinical governance, and services, and concerted collaborative efforts in training and research, including greater representation of the Western Pacific Region in clinical trials, will improve care of patients with Parkinson's disease in this region and beyond.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with a progressive loss of mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra (SN). To further evaluate its pathophysiology, accurate animal models are needed. The current study aims to verify the impact of a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) bilateral microinjection into the SN on gastrointestinal symptoms in rats and confirm that the 6-OHDA rat model is an appropriate tool to investigate the mechanisms of Parkinsonian GI disorders. Immunohistochemistry, digital X-ray imaging, short-circuit current, FITC-dextran permeability and ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry were used in this study. The results indicated that the dopaminergic neurons in SN and fibres in the striatum were markedly reduced in 6-OHDA rats. The 6-OHDA rats manifested reductions in occupancy in a rotarod test and increases in daily food debris but no difference in body mass or daily consumption. Compared with control rats, faecal pellets and their contents were significantly decreased, whereas gastric emptying and intestinal transport were delayed in 6-OHDA rats. The increased in vivo FITC-dextran permeability and decreased intestinal transepithelial resistance in the model suggest attenuated barrier function in the digestive tract in the PD model. Moreover, inflammatory factors in the plasma showed that pro-inflammatory factors IL-1? and IL-8 were significantly increased in 6-OHDA rats. Collectively, these findings indicate that the model is an interesting experimental tool to investigate the mechanisms involved in the progression of gastrointestinal dysfunction in PD.
