Abstract
INTRODUCTION Quality of life (QoL) is of paramount importance as an outcome to monitor and guide therapies for people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). In particular, due to the heterogeneous symptoms that PwPD may experience during their disease course, QoL can deteriorate not only in patients but also in their caregivers, with a variety of psychosocial consequences. However, there is a lack of longitudinal studies that explore how QoL evolves over time and what factors are significant. Furthermore, holistic approaches that consider bio-psycho-social determinants are rare. In the worst cases, these gaps can lead to suboptimal care and therefore unmet needs for patients and their caregivers, resulting in unnecessary symptom burden and increased healthcare costs for society. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This prospective, longitudinal study will follow 1000 PwPD along with their caregivers for 20 years, with up to 40 semi-annual assessments. Patient data and sample collection will include clinical assessments, self-reported outcome measures focusing on QoL, biospecimen collection and MRI. Caregiver burden will be systematically assessed through self-administered questionnaires. The use of digitised surveys will allow efficient data collection and convenient assessment at home. Our primary objective is to attain a holistic understanding of QoL in PwPD and establish a tool to measure it. The secondary objective is to explore the psycho-social and biological variables associated with QoL of patients and caregivers over the progression of the disease. This will provide key information for diagnostic and prognostic prediction, therapeutic patient stratification and adaptation of therapy in the future. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study was approved by the local ethics committee of the University Hospital of Marburg (study number: 209/19). The results will be disseminated by means of publication in peer-reviewed journals, international conference contributions, annual patient meetings and a dedicated website. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS00023598).

Abstract
PURPOSE This study summarized characteristics and risk factors of caregiver burden in PD patients and used meta-analysis to verify the effectiveness of the intervention on caregiver burden. METHODS Systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted. RESULTS Forty-nine articles that involved 5387 caregivers of patients with PD were included in this study. Results of systematic review indicated that Zarit burden Inventory (ZBI) was the most used scale to measure the caregiver burden. All scales revealed caregivers of PD patients had mild to moderate caregiver burden. For the PD patients with longer disease duration, severer disease severity, more negative emotion and cognition impairment, their caregivers intended to have higher caregiver burden. The caregiver with negative emotion and who spent more time on caregiving indicated higher caregiver burden than the others. The caregiver burden was not improved after deep brain stimulation (DBS). Meta-analysis showed that cognitive behavior therapy and palliative care had no significant effect to reduce caregiver burden in PD patients' caregiver. CONCLUSION Caregivers of PD patients experienced mild to moderate caregiver burden. Demographic factor, diseased-related factor and negative emotional factor were the risk factors of caregiver burden. Health education and care support for long-term management after DBS surgery should be provided for patients and caregivers to decrease caregiver burden.

Abstract
Both motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), a progressive neurological condition, have broad-ranging impacts on nutritional intake and dietary behaviour. Historically studies focused on individual dietary components, but evidence demonstrating ameliorative outcomes with whole-of-diet patterns such as Mediterranean and Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) is emerging. These diets provide plenty of antioxidant rich fruits, vegetables, nuts, wholegrains and healthy fats. Paradoxically, the ketogenic diet, high fat and very low carbohydrate, is also proving to be beneficial. Within the PD community, it is well advertised that nutritional intake is associated with disease progression and symptom severity but understandably, the messaging is inconsistent. With projected prevalence estimated to rise to 1.6 million by 2037, more data regarding the impact of whole-of-diet patterns is needed to develop diet-behaviour change programmes and provide clear advice for PD management. Objectives and Methods: Objectives of this scoping review of both peer-reviewed academic and grey literatures are to determine the current evidence-based consensus for best dietary practice in PD and to ascertain whether the grey literature aligns. Results and Discussion: The consensus from the academic literature was that a MeDi/MIND whole of diet pattern (fresh fruit, vegetables, wholegrains, omega-3 fish and olive oil) is the best practice for improving PD outcomes. Support for the KD is emerging, but further research is needed to determine long-term effects. Encouragingly, the grey literature mostly aligned but nutrition advice was rarely forefront. The importance of nutrition needs greater emphasis in the grey literature, with positive messaging on dietary approaches for management of day-to-day symptoms.

Abstract
Caregiver burden is a term that refers to the adverse effect of caregiving on the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and financial well-being of the caregiver. Caregiver burden is associated with providing care to an individual with a chronic illness or disability, and the unique symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD) can amplify a patient's needs and reliance on others, leading to adverse outcomes for patients and their caregivers. In this scoping review of the literature from January 2017 through April 2022 that included 114 studies, we provide an updated, evidence-based summary of patient and caregiver-related factors that contribute to caregiver burden in PD. We also describe the impact of caregiver stress and burden on caregivers based on qualitative research studies and review recent interventions to mitigate burden. By providing clinical updates for practitioners, this review is designed to improve recognition of caregiver burden in the post-pandemic era and foster the development of targeted interventions to reduce caregiver burden in PD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bradykinesia (ie, slow movements) is one of the most prominent symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) and has a negative impact on quality of life. Rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS), a widely used and promising treatment technique, has been shown to effectively improve gait speed in patients with PD. The upper-limb movements, which also suffer from bradykinesia, are essential for daily life and directly impact quality of life. The term, patterned sensory enhancement (PSE) instead of RAS, is used when movement training targets the human body except lower limbs. Up until now, scarce studies have explored effects of training involving PSE on upper-limb movements. The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of movement training involving PSE on upper-limb movement speed and function in patients with PD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A total of 138 patients with PD will be randomly assigned into two groups: the PSE group and the no-PSE group. A 21-day upper-limb training involving PSE (for the PSE group) or without PSE (for the no-PSE group) will be provided to the patients. An assessor will administer the box and block test and the Jebsen hand function test before and after training to assess upper-limb movement speed and function. The one-way analysis of covariance will be performed. This randomised controlled trial will provide evidence supporting effectiveness of upper-limb movement training involving PSE on reducing severity of bradykinesia in patients with PD. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval has been obtained from the Institutional Review Board of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University with the reference number HSEARS20221027005. Informed consent forms will be gathered from all patients before their participation. Study results will be disseminated through conferences and peer-reviewed academic journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05637593.

Abstract
Introduction. Drooling in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is frequent but often goes underrecognized. Our aim was to examine the prevalence of drooling in a PD cohort and compare it with a control group. Specifically, we identified factors associated with drooling and conducted subanalyses in a subgroup of very early PD patients. Patients and Methods. PD patients who were recruited from January 2016 to November 2017 (baseline visit; V0) and evaluated again at a 2-year ± 30-day follow-up (V2) from 35 centers in Spain from the COPPADIS cohort were included in this longitudinal prospective study. Subjects were classified as with or without drooling according to item 19 of the NMSS (Nonmotor Symptoms Scale) at V0, V1 (1-year ± 15 days), and V2 for patients and at V0 and V2 for controls. Results. The frequency of drooling in PD patients was 40.1% (277/691) at V0 (2.4% (5/201) in controls;
< 0.0001), 43.7% (264/604) at V1, and 48.2% (242/502) at V2 (3.2% (4/124) in controls;
< 0.0001), with a period prevalence of 63.6% (306/481). Being older (OR = 1.032;
= 0.012), being male (OR = 2.333;
< 0.0001), having greater nonmotor symptom (NMS) burden at the baseline (NMSS total score at V0; OR = 1.020;
< 0.0001), and having a greater increase in the NMS burden from V0 to V2 (change in the NMSS total score from V0 to V2; OR = 1.012;
< 0.0001) were identified as independent predictors of drooling after the 2-year follow-up. Similar results were observed in the group of patients with ≤2 years since symptom onset, with a cumulative prevalence of 64.6% and a higher score on the UPDRS-III at V0 (OR = 1.121;
= 0.007) as a predictor of drooling at V2. Conclusion. Drooling is frequent in PD patients even at the initial onset of the disease and is associated with a greater motor severity and NMS burden.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Caring for a partner or family member with Parkinson's disease (PD) negatively affects the caregiver's own physical and emotional well-being, especially those caring for people with advanced PD (APD). This study was designed to examine the impact of APD on caregiver perceived burden, quality of life (QoL), and health status. METHODS Dyads of people with PD and their primary caregivers were identified from the Adelphi Parkinson's Disease Specific Program (DSP™) using real-world data from the United States, Japan and five European countries. Questionnaires were used to capture measures of clinical burden (people with PD) and caregiver burden (caregivers). RESULTS Data from 721 patient-caregiver dyads in seven countries were captured. Caregivers had a mean age 62.6 years, 71.6% were female, and 70.4% were a spouse. Caregivers for people with APD had a greater perceived burden, were more likely to take medication and had lower caregiver treatment satisfaction than those caring for people with early or intermediate PD; similar findings were observed for caregivers of people with intermediate versus early PD. Caregivers for people with intermediate PD were also less likely to be employed than those with early PD (25.3% vs 42.4%) and spent more time caring (6.6 vs 3.2 h/day). CONCLUSIONS This real-world study demonstrates that caregivers of people with APD experience a greater burden than those caring for people with early PD. This highlights the importance of including caregiver-centric measures in future studies, and emphasizes the need for implementing treatments that reduce caregiver burden in APD.

Abstract
Cannabidivarin (CBDV), a structural analog of cannabidiol (CBD), has received attention in recent years owing to its anticonvulsant property and potential for treating autism spectrum disorder. However, the function and mechanism of CBDV involved in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) remain unclear. In this work, we found that CBDV inhibited α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation in an established transgenetic Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). The phenolic hydroxyl groups of CBDV are critical for scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), reducing the in vivo aggregation of α-syn and preventing DAergic neurons from 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced injury and degeneration. By combining multiple biophysical approaches, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy and fibrillation kinetics assays, we confirmed that CBDV does not directly interact with α-syn or inhibit the formation of α-syn fibrils in vitro. Further cellular signaling investigation showed that the ability of CBDV to prevent oxidative stress, the accumulation of α-syn and the degeneration of DAergic neurons was mediated by DAF-16 in the worms. This study demonstrates that CBDV alleviates the aggregation of α-syn in vivo and reveals that the phenolic hydroxyl groups of CBDV are critical for this activity, providing a potential for the development of CBDV as a drug candidate for PD therapeutics.

Cross-Cultural Differences in Stigma Associated with Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review. JOURNAL OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE 2023; 13:699-715. [PMID: 37355913 PMCID: PMC10473089 DOI: 10.3233/jpd-230050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stigma is an important social attitude affecting the quality of life (QoL) of people with Parkinson's disease (PwP, PD) as individuals within society. OBJECTIVE This systematic review aimed to 1) identify the factors associated with stigma in PD and 2) demonstrate culture-based diversity in the stigmatization of PwP. We also reported data from the Turkish PwP, which is an underrepresented population. METHODS Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, a literature search of the PubMed/Medline electronic database was performed covering the last 26 years. Articles on self-perceived stigma in PD with a sample size > 20 and quantitative results were included. Data were extracted by independent reviewers. RESULTS After screening 163 articles, 57 were eligible for review, most of which were from Europe or Asia. Only two studies have been conducted in South America. No study from Africa was found. Among the 61 factors associated with stigma, disease duration, sex, and age were most frequently studied. A comparison of the investigated factors across the world showed that, while the effect of motor impairment or treatment on stigma seems to be culture-free, the impact of sex, education, marriage, employment, cognitive impairment, and anxiety on stigma may depend on culture. CONCLUSION The majority of the world's PD population is underrepresented or unrepresented, and culture may influence the perception of stigma in PwP. More diverse data are urgently needed to understand and relieve the challenges of PwP within their society.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that can reduce quality of life (QOL). Previous research has explored patient specific factors that influence QOL; but understanding external factors that may also affect patient QOL, such as caregiver characteristics, can provide additional intervention targets that may improve QOL for both the person with PD and their caregiver. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of existing literature on caregiver factors that are related to QOL for the person with PD. We developed a tailored search strategy in six databases and performed a screening procedure according to PRISMA guidelines. We synthesized findings from articles that met inclusion criteria using a narrative approach and identified themes categorizing caregiver factors associated with PD QOL. RESULTS We found 32 full-text articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria and passed the quality appraisal. Seven themes were identified, including: (1) burden, (2) strain, (3) QOL and satisfaction, (4) demographic factors, (5) psychological factors, (6) relationship factors, and (7) caregiver input. CONCLUSIONS Our review presents critical insights into the role of the caregiver in the QOL of a person with PD. Findings reveal several targets for intervention to improve QOL in this population.

Abstract
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are neurodegenerative disorders that affect a great number of people around the world, seriously compromising the quality of life of individuals, due to motor and cognitive damage. In these diseases, pharmacological treatment is used only to alleviate symptoms. This emphasizes the need to discover alternative molecules for use in prevention. Using Molecular Docking, this review aimed to evaluate the anti-Alzheimer's and anti-Parkinson's activity of linalool and citronellal, as well as their derivatives. Before performing Molecular Docking simulations, the compounds' pharmacokinetic characteristics were evaluated. For Molecular Docking, 7 chemical compounds derived from citronellal, and 10 compounds derived from linalool, and molecular targets involved in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's pathophysiology were selected. According to the Lipinski rules, the compounds under study presented good oral absorption and bioavailability. For toxicity, some tissue irritability was observed. For Parkinson-related targets, the citronellal and linalool derived compounds revealed excellent energetic affinity for α-Synuclein, Adenosine Receptors, Monoamine Oxidase (MAO), and Dopamine D1 receptor proteins. For Alzheimer disease targets, only linalool and its derivatives presented promise against BACE enzyme activity. The compounds studied presented high probability of modulatory activity against the disease targets under study, and are potential candidates for future drugs.

Abstract
To explore how socially assistive robots (SARs) may assist the specific needs of individuals with Parkinson's disease (IwPD), we conducted three focus groups with 12 clinicians who treat IwPD. We present a thematic analysis of their perceptions of the needs of the patients, and their own expectations, perceived advantages, disadvantages and concerns regarding the use of SARs for IwPD. Clinicians were positive towards using SARs for IwPD, if used in the patient's home, for motor, communication, emotional, and cognitive needs, especially for practice and for help with activities of daily living. They were concerned that a SAR might be used to replace clinicians’ work, and stressed it should only
augment
the clinicians’ work. They thought a SAR may relieve some of the burden experienced by informal caregivers, and identified specific applications for SARs for PD. We asked 18 stakeholders (nine IwPD, nine family members) to rate their level of agreement with the clinicians’ statements. The greatest divergence between their views and those of the clinicians was on the topic of using a SAR as a companion, or as a feeding assistant, to which they objected. This work may be used as a basis for future studies designing SARs for IwPD.

Abstract
Background: Parkinson’s disease reduces patients’ function, activities of daily living, and quality of life, and increases their guardians’ burden of care. This study verified the effectiveness of a multimodal rehabilitation programme for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Trial design: This study was a multicentre parallel randomised controlled, single-blind, trial conducted in three hospitals in Korea. Methods: A central randomisation centre used computer generated tables to randomly allocate 60 of 75 patients with Parkinson’s disease who fulfilled the study requirements into experimental (n = 30; multimodal rehabilitation; consisting of daily living training, guardian education, home environment modification, fine muscle exercise, balance training, and training using auxiliary tools performed 50 min per session, twice a week, in 10 sessions) and control (n = 30; traditional rehabilitation; consisting of task-oriented training, joint exercise, and daily living training performed 50 min per session, twice a week, in 10 sessions) groups. Results: Multimodal rehabilitation for Parkinson’s disease significantly improved the activities of daily living (p < 0.01) and quality of life of patients (p < 0.001) and eased the guardians’ burden of care (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Multimodal rehabilitation is suggested to improve activities of daily living, quality of life of patients with Parkinson’s disease, and reduce the burden of care of their guardians.

Abstract
Objectives In the absence of widely accepted criteria, determining when a patient with Parkinson's disease (PD) may benefit from more advanced treatments such as device‐aided therapy (DAT) so far remains a matter of physician judgment. This analysis investigates how classification of PD varies across countries relative to measures of disease severity. Materials and Methods The OBSERVational, cross‐sEctional PD (OBSERVE‐PD) study included consecutive patients with PD at centers that offer DATs in 18 countries. In this subgroup analysis, we explore intercountry differences in identification of advanced versus non‐advanced PD based on physician's clinical judgment, symptoms assessed using Delphi consensus criteria, use of DAT, motor and non‐motor symptoms, and caregiver support. Demographic and clinical characteristics were obtained through review of medical records. Results Overall, 1342 of 2615 patients (51.3%) were assessed by physicians as having advanced PD. The proportion of patients in different countries identified as having advanced PD (24.4–82.2%) varied. In 15 of 18 countries, a greater proportion of patients with advanced PD, according to select Delphi criteria, were identified by physicians as having advanced PD than with non‐advanced PD. There was a wide variability across countries in the proportion of patients with no dyskinesia, disabling dyskinesia, dyskinesia pain, and non‐motor symptoms who were identified by physicians as having advanced versus non‐advanced PD. Conclusions The proportion of patients identified with advanced PD symptoms varies widely across countries, despite differences on the patients' profiles, indicating a need for objective diagnostic criteria to help identify patients who may benefit from DAT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Caregiver burden in Parkinson's disease (PD) has been studied in many cross-sectional studies but poorly in longitudinal ones. The aim of the present study was to analyze the change in burden, strain, mood, and quality of life (QoL) after a 2-year follow-up in a cohort of caregivers of patients with PD and also to identify predictors of these changes. PATIENTS AND METHODS PD patients and their caregivers who were recruited from January/2016 to November/2017 from 35 centers of Spain from the COPPADIS cohort were included in the study. They were evaluated again at 2-year follow-up. Caregivers completed the Zarit Caregiver Burden Inventory (ZCBI), Caregiver Strain Index (CSI), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and EUROHIS-QOL 8-item index (EUROHIS-QOL8) at baseline (V0) and at 2-year follow-up (V2). General linear model repeated measure and lineal regression models were applied. RESULTS Significant changes, indicating an impairment, were detected on the total score of the ZCBI (p < 0.0001), CSI (p < 0.0001), BDI-II (p = 0.024), and EUROHIS-QOL8 (p = 0.002) in 192 PD caregivers (58.82 ± 11.71 years old; 69.3% were females). Mood impairment (BDI-II; β = 0.652; p < 0.0001) in patients from V0 to V2 was the strongest factor associated with caregiver's mood impairment after the 2-year follow-up. Caregiver's mood impairment was the strongest factor associated with an increase from V0 to V2 on the total score of the ZCBI (β = 0.416; p < 0.0001), CSI (β = 0.277; p = 0.001), and EUROHIS-QOL (β = 0.397; p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Burden, strain, mood, and QoL were impaired in caregivers of PD patients after a 2-year follow-up. Mood changes in both the patient and the caregiver are key aspects related to caregiver burden increase.

Chen Z, Ho M, Chau PH. Handgrip strength asymmetry is associated with the risk of neurodegenerative disorders among Chinese older adults. J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2022; 13:1013-1023. [PMID: 35178892 PMCID: PMC8977973 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.12933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Revised: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurodegenerative disorders, as the irreversible condition, have a long, silent preclinical period. Recognition of early physical signs of neurodegenerative disorders had important practical implications for identifying at-risk population. The aim of this study was to investigate whether handgrip strength (HGS) asymmetry was associated with the incidence of neurodegenerative disorders among Chinese older adults. METHODS This study used the data of participants aged 60 years and over from three waves (2011-2015) of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. HGS asymmetry was measured with HGS ratio (maximal non-dominant HGS/maximal dominant HGS), with the value less than 0.9 or more than 1.1 considered as HGS asymmetry. Physician-diagnosed neurodegenerative disorders were identified by self-reported or proxy-reported information. Competing risk analysis was conducted to examine the association between HGS asymmetry and incident neurodegenerative disorders, with mortality treated as the competing event. RESULTS A total of 4925 participants were included in the analysis [mean (SD) age: 68.1(6.68); female: 49.7%]. Eight hundred and eighty-eight (18.0%) participants had low HGS and 2227 (45.2%) had HGS asymmetry. During the 4 years of follow-up, there were 156 cases of neurodegenerative disorders and 422 cases of mortality. The incidence of neurodegenerative disorders was 8.7 per 1000 person-years [95% confidence interval (CI): 7.4-10.2], and the incidence of mortality was 23.5 per 1000 person-years (95% CI: 21.4-25.9). Both the cause-specific model and the Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard model showed that participants with HGS asymmetry had increased hazard of neurodegenerative disorders [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.66, P = 0.002, 95% CI: 1.202-2.297; subdistribution hazard ratio (SHR) = 1.65, P = 0.002, 95% CI: 1.202-2.285]. Low HGS, but not HGS asymmetry, was related to the higher hazard of mortality (HR = 1.61, P < 0.001, 95% CI: 1.297-1.995; SHR = 1.58, P < 0.001, 95% CI: 1.286-1.951). CONCLUSIONS Handgrip strength asymmetry was associated with the future risk of neurodegenerative disorders among Chinese older adults. Public healthcare providers could consider examining HGS asymmetry along with the maximal HGS as a way to identify those at elevated risk of neurodegenerative disorders.

Supporting Relatives Prior to Caregiver Burden—Preventive E-Mental Health Short Intervention for Family Members of Individuals with Parkinsonism in an Early Phase of the Disease: Protocol for a Feasibility Study. Brain Sci 2022; 12:brainsci12040442. [PMID: 35447974 PMCID: PMC9024797 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci12040442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2022] [Revised: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Research on support for relatives of patients with Parkinsonism has mainly focused on caregivers, while preventive offers for non-caregiving relatives are lacking. Thus, the aim of this multicenter pilot study is to develop and assess the feasibility of a preventive psychosocial support program for relatives of patients with Parkinsonism. It specifically focuses on family members of patients who are in an early phase of the disease, are not currently caregiving, and have not yet developed distress symptoms. It includes a telemedicine-based, 6-week preventive psychological short intervention (PPSI). The main objective of this feasibility mixed-methods study is to specify the demand for an early, low-threshold, and low-cost short intervention and to collect feedback based on qualitative and quantitative data of N = 20 relatives. Secondary objectives are an evaluation of the effects of the intervention and an analysis of the study design. Future directions are to further develop the PPSI using these data. This study can serve as a basis for future randomized controlled studies on this intervention, which might fill an important gap in clinical supply.

Abstract
For persons with Parkinson’s disease, the loss of autonomy in daily life leads to a high level of dependency on relatives’ support. Such dependency strongly correlates with high levels of perceived stress and psychosocial burden in informal caregivers. Global developments, such as demographic change and the associated thinning infrastructure in rural areas cause a continuously growing need for medical and nursing care. However, this need is not being adequately met. The resulting care gap is being made up by unpaid or underpaid work of informal caregivers. The double burden of care work and gainful employment creates enormous health-related impairments of the informal caregivers, so that they eventually become invisible patients themselves. Expectedly, those invisible patients do not receive the best care, leading to a decrease in quality of life and, in the end, to worse care for PD patients. Suggested solutions to relieve relatives, such as moving the person affected by Parkinson’s to a nursing home, often do not meet the wishes of patients and informal caregivers, nor does it appear as a structural solution in the light of demographic change against an economic background. Rather, it requires the development, implementation and evaluation of new, holistic approaches to care that make invisible patients visible.

Abstract
Approximately 15% of the general population has complicated grief (CG). Understanding how older adults with CG describe their quality of life (QOL) is crucial to healthcare workers especially in hospice and mental health settings. Four themes for QOL emerged from the thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews. From highest to lowest endorsement, they were Mental Function (sub-themes: mental health, joy, and happiness), Self-management (sub-themes: self-efficacy and self-agency), Social Support, and Physical Function. This study provides new information related to the relationships between CG and QOL among older adults. Multidimensional aspects of QOL can provide insight into delivering individualized patient- and family-centered care.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, which leads to reduced health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) and autonomy in advanced stages of the disease. Hence, people with PD (PwPD) are in need of help, which is often provided by informal caregivers, especially spouses. This might influence the relationship satisfaction in patients and their spousal caregivers. Additionally, previous studies have shown that a reduced relationship satisfaction may result in mental disorders and reduced physical health. The aim of this study is to identify factors influencing PwPD and their caregivers' relationship satisfaction in a cross-sectional observational study. Analyses revealed an overall satisfying relationship, measured by the Quality of Marriage Index, in PwPD (n = 84) and their caregivers (n = 79). Relationship satisfaction in PwPD mildly decreased with reduced HR-QoL and more severe depressive symptoms. Reduced relationship satisfaction in caregivers was significantly associated with decreased HR-QoL, higher caregiver burden, more severe depressive symptoms and increased neuropsychiatric symptoms in PwPD. Further studies are needed to investigate the influence of the identified factors over time and if relationship satisfaction has a reciprocal impact on caregiver burden, HR-QoL as well as mental and physical health.

Abstract
As the percentage of the aging population increases, the incidence of Parkinson's disease (PD) in China is increasing year by year. PD is both a public health and social problem facing the government and society as a whole. Persons with PD need reasonable medication management and rehabilitation strategies after a clear diagnosis. A proper home care plan can effectively slow the progression of PD. However, people with PD lack an effective way to manage their illnesses and cannot achieve the recommended clinical path in a family environment. Medication management, condition monitoring, and rehabilitation training are important components of the home care plan for PD. Persons with PD require strategies that delay the development of the disease and to adhere to treatment, which would contribute to improving their quality of life. Thus, we developed a small program called Care-PD to build a medicine management and service platform for PD. The development of Care-PD is a multi-dimensional model designed for PD, which is funded by the National Key R&D Program of China (No. 2018YFC1314700), and includes services such as medication management, symptom monitoring, professional counseling, home life, and community communication. Care-PD can become a key technology that increases the compliance of persons with PD with home care plans and improve measures to control the disease. In this article, we describe the medication management and services for PD based on the Care-PD program and its structure. The small program will improve the adverse conditions faced by persons with PD by combining the latest technology and clinical approaches. Meanwhile, we describe a verification strategy to evaluate the effectiveness of the Care-PD program as a comprehensive management strategy for PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common progressive neuro-degenerative disorder. Research in PD is gradually increasing in India due to increased clinical cases, which could double by 2030 worldwide. Although its prevalence is low in India as compared to other countries, the total burden is much higher due to the large population size. PD is progressively debilitating, with pronounced motor and nonmotor symptoms (NMSs) that severely affect the quality of life (QoL) of patients and their caregivers. The progressive nature of the disease lays great emphasis on doctors to focus on the patients' QoL. As a consequence, Health-related QoL (HRQoL) has gradually become one of the main indicators for assessing health-related outcome. There is a growing need to pay attention to the NMSs and a pressing need to look at the QoL of Indian patients with PD through a culture and value specific lens. Research into the holistic QoL assessment with emphasis on psychological domains may allow for the early evaluation and intervention of depressive and cognitive symptoms in PD. This could result into increased productivity, reduced morbidity, and healthcare cost, which would in turn result into better QoL of Indian PD patients.

Abstract
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are two major neurodegenerative diseases worldwide. Demographic aging is in rapid progress in China. Up-to-date estimates of AD and PD prevalence have not been provided. Methods: Studies that reported the prevalence of AD and PD in China were identified via a systematic database search from 1985 to 2018. Meta-analysis, local polynomial regression and autoregressive integrated moving average model were used for analyses. Results: A total of 99 studies were included in the study with populations of 385,312 and 227,228, respectively for AD and PD. The overall prevalence of AD and PD following age standardization was 3.20% [95% confidence interval (CI) = 3.17–3.23] and 1.06% (95% CI = 1.02–1.10), respectively in individuals over 60 years old. The rates increased drastically for every 10-years increment of age. The yearly prevalence of AD was predicted to increase from 3.81 to 6.17% in the next 5 years. Significant differences were observed between genders [male to female odds ratio (OR) for AD = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.51–0.64; OR for PD = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.06–1.46], and between education levels (Illiterate to non-illiterate OR for AD = 2.99, 95% CI = 2.38–3.75), but not between urban and rural settings. Conclusion: Our results provide an updated insight into the epidemiology of AD and PD in China and their associated rates and ratios. The findings may facilitate China policy makers and health professionals mitigate the related health issues.

Abstract
Interest in gastrointestinal dysfunction in Parkinson's disease has blossomed over the past 30 years and has generated a wealth of investigation into this non-motor aspect of the disorder, research that has encompassed its pathophysiology, its clinical features, and its impact on quality of life. The question of gastrointestinal dysfunction in the other synucleinopathies has not received nearly as much attention, but information and knowledge are growing. In this review, the current knowledge, controversies, and gaps in our understanding of the pathophysiology of gastrointestinal dysfunction in Parkinson's disease and the other synucleinopathies will be addressed, and extended focus will be directed toward the clinical problems involving saliva management, swallowing, gastric emptying, small intestinal function, and bowel function that are so problematic in these disorders.

Abstract
Background: Functional mobility (FM) is the person's ability to move to accomplish daily living tasks and activities. FM limitations are common in Parkinson's disease, increase with disease progression, and can be highly disabling. Although several studies in Parkinson's disease (PD) field use this concept, only recently, a formal definition has been proposed. Objective: We aimed to explore patient's and health professional's perspectives of FM in PD. Methods: A focus group methodology has been used. Four focus groups, with a total of 10 patients and 10 health professionals, were performed. Six patients were early stage and four advanced stage. The health professional's group was composed of five neurologists and five physiotherapists. The suitability of the new concept, the impact of FM limitations in PD patient's daily routine, and the potential benefit of walking aids have been discussed. Results: All participants were able to provide a spontaneous definition of FM, matching with the proposed concept. All agreed that PD affects patient's FM, increasing the limitations with disease progression, and with the existence of a serious prejudice with walking aids that hinders its use. Early-stage patient's perspective seems to be more in line with neurologist's perspective, while the views of advanced-stage patients were closer to physiotherapist's views. Conclusion: FM concept was considered as intuitive and useful. FM limitations have an important physical and social impact in the advanced stage of the disease. Although patients and health professionals acknowledge walking aid's benefit improving patient's FM, the prejudice associated with this type of tools limits its recommendation and use.

Abstract
Importance: Consumers purchase a wide variety of consumer products and come into contact with these products on a daily basis. Manufacturers invest deeply in developing new products or improving existing products, in order to produce a positive impact on the lives of consumers. Objective: The goal of this study was to determine the impact of over-the-counter skin care products on the quality of life (QoL) of female consumers. Design and Measures: A QoL instrument developed for consumer products (the Farage QoL with an added Skin Care Module) was used to assess the impact of a 28-day facial skin care regimen using commercially available products formulated to improve elasticity, firmness and hydration, and to correct age- and sun-related skin color. Responses were collected prior to study commencement, at completion of the product usage stage, and after a period of withdrawal of the product with reversion to a basic skin care regimen. Participants: Two main study groups from Australia included 89 new mothers, i.e., women with children 2 years and under (mean age ± SD was 34 ± 4.8), and a national representative sample of 91 women (45 ± 12). An additional test group from China consisted of 40 younger cosmetic users (25 ± 4.3). The Skin Care Module was not included in the instrument for the third group. Results: After 28-days of usage, both test groups in the main study showed significant improvement in three of five items in the Skin Care Module (improved feelings of empowerment, happiness and self-esteem). Improvements persisted after 2 weeks of product withdrawal. In the main QoL instrument, the New Mothers group showed significant improvement in the Well-Being domain, driven by improvements in the Self-Image and Self Competence subdomains. The National Representative group showed improvements in the Energy and Vitality domain, driven by improvements in the Personal Pleasure, Physical State and Routine Activity subdomains. The additional group in the China study showed results similar to the New Mothers group. Conclusions and Relevance: A quality and efficacious skin care regimen can have a positive impact on the QoL of consumers. Differences in responses of the test groups were likely related to differences in the mean age and differences in time available to look after themselves.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungPatientinnen und Patienten (Pat.) mit Parkinson-Krankheit bedürfen mit zunehmender Krankheitsdauer und Schweregrad persönlicher Betreuung, die meist von weiblichen Angehörigen gewährleistet wird. Die Belastungen für pflegende Angehörige resultieren einerseits aus den motorischen Beeinträchtigungen der Pat., andererseits von neurokognitiven und neuropsychiatrischen Symptomen sowie Verhaltensstörungen, Störungen des autonomen Nervensystems, der Miktion, des Schlafes und der Selbstständigkeit. Gesundheitliche Probleme der Betreuungsperson, u. a. Depression und Angst, emotionale Probleme mit dem Pflegling, Beeinträchtigung des Schlafs, sowie Einschränkungen in persönlichen Anliegen, Beruf, Familie, Freizeitgestaltung, sozialen Aktivitäten, finanzielle Einbußen und mangelhafte soziale Unterstützung stellen weitere Belastungsfaktoren dar. Personen mit dem Risiko einer erheblichen Betreuungsbelastung sind frühzeitig zu identifizieren, um ihnen Informationen über die Krankheit und Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten sowie entsprechende personelle, psychologische und finanzielle Unterstützung zukommen zu lassen.

Abstract
Background: Caregiver strain is recognized globally with Parkinson's disease (PD). Comparatively little is understood about caregiver burden and strain in Asia. Objective: To investigate caregiver strain for families living with PD in Singapore, in light of international data. Methods: Ninety-four caregivers were recruited via people living with idiopathic PD in Singapore. Caregiver strain was assessed using the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI); health status was assessing using the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale for Geriatrics (CIRS-G). PD disability measures were the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and modified Hoehn and Yahr (1967) Scale. Results: Primary caregivers of people living with PD in Singapore were mostly cohabiting spouses, partners or offspring. Around half employed foreign domestic helpers. Mean caregiving duration was 5.9 years with an average of eight hours per day spent in caregiving roles. Most care providers were comparatively healthy. Caregivers reported significant levels of strain which increased with greater level of disability (r = 0.36, n = 94, p < 0.001). Associations were significant between caregiver strain and scores on the UPDRS mentation, behavior, and mood subscales [r = 0.46, n = 94, p < 0.001, 95% CI (0.28, 0.60)]. High scores on the UPDRS activities of daily living subscale were associated with caregiver strain [r = 0.50, n = 94, p < 0.001, CI (0.33, 0.64)]. Conclusion: Most caregivers in this Singapore sample reported high levels of strain, despite comparatively good physical function. Caregiver strain in PD spans geopolitical and cultural boundaries and correlates with disease severity. These results support the need for better early recognition, education, and support for caregivers of people living with PD.

Abstract
Background: Parkinson′s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in older individuals. Neurorehabilitation-based interventions such as those improving gait are crucial for a holistic approach and to limit falls. Several studies have recently shown that mechanical plantar foot stimulation is a beneficial intervention for improving gait impairment in PD patients. The objective of this scoping review is to evaluate the beneficial effects of this stimulation on gait parameters, and to analyse protocols of foot stimulation and other effects in non-motor symptoms. Relevant articles were searched in the Medline database using Pubmed and Scopus, using the primary search terms ‘foot stimulation’ OR ‘plantar stimulation’ AND ‘Parkinson’s disease*’. Several protocols have been used for mechanical plantar foot stimulation (ranging from medical devices to textured insoles). The gait parameters that have been shown to be improved are stride length and walking speed. The beneficial effects are achieved after both acute and repeated plantar foot stimulation. Beneficial effects are observed in other organs and systems, such as muscle activation, brain connectivity, cardiovascular control in the central nervous system, and the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and cortisol in blood added evidence about this intervention’s impact on brain function. Mechanical plantar foot stimulation is a safe and effective add-on treatment able for improving gait impairments in PD patients during the L-dopa off state. Randomized and controlled clinical trials to study its eventual potentiating effect with different pharmacotherapy regimens are warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of applying intracranial lead reconstruction in deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy for Parkinsonism. METHODS We retrospectively collected the clinical data from 27 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), who received bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS therapy between January, 2016 and December, 2017. According to the position of the selected optimal stimulating contact of the implanted leads, the patients were divided into group A with the stimulating contacts of the bilateral leads in the STN, group B with unilateral stimulating contacts in the STN, and group C with bilateral stimulating contacts outside the STN. All the patients were assessed for improvement using Hoehn-Yahr stage, the third part of United Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS Ⅲ), Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living (SE-ADL), and L-dopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD). The consistency between the optimal stimulating contact selected by lead reconstruction and that by standard postoperative programming procedure was also evaluated. RESULTS The patients in all the 3 groups showed postoperative improvements in Hoehn-Yahr stage, UPDRS Ⅲ score, SE-ADL score, and LEDD in the medication-off state. But at 12 months of the follow-up, such improvements were maintained only in the patients of group A. The optimal stimulating contacts selected by lead reconstruction and standard postoperative programming procedure had a matching rate of up to 77.78% (42/54), and the coordinates of the optimal contacts selected by the two methods showed no significant difference. CONCLUSIONS Intracranial lead reconstruction facilitates the study of the association between the implant site of the leads and the clinical outcome of DBS therapy for PD and allows the precise selection of the optimal contact of the implanted leads in postoperative programming of DBS.

Abstract
Introduction Daytime drooling is experienced by around 50% of Parkinson’s patients, who
fail to swallow saliva in sufficient volume or regularity, despite normal
production. This research explored the feasibility and acceptability of
using a cueing device, to improve drooling. Methods During a four-week intervention, 28 participants were asked to use a cueing
device for 1 h per day. During this time, the device vibrated
once-per-minute, reminding the participant to swallow their saliva. A daily
diary was used to collect self-report around swallowing severity, frequency,
and duration. This was filled out by participants for one week before, four
weeks during and for one week immediately after intervention. Diaries were
also collected for one week during a follow up, carried out four weeks after
intervention finished. Results Participants self-reported benefits in drooling severity
(p = 0.031), frequency (p ≤ 0.001), and
duration (p = 0.001) after using the device. Improvements
were maintained at follow up. Twenty-two participants explicitly reported a
positive benefit to their drooling during exit interview. All felt the
intervention and device were acceptable and usable. Conclusions Using a cueing device for one month had perceived benefit to drooling
severity, frequency and duration in patients with Parkinson’s. Participants
accepted the device and treatment protocol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Speech impairment, which reduces Quality of Life (QOL), frequently occurs in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). As speaking is required for social interaction, speech impairment can reduce one's life satisfaction. Although QOL has been well-studied in individuals with PD, the QOL of their caregivers has seldom been investigated. This study compared the QOL of individuals with PD and their caregivers. The relationships between QOL, self-rated speech scale, and life satisfaction level were examined. METHOD A total of 20 individuals with PD and their caregivers completed the Parkinson's disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) scale and the Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS). In addition, PD participants were asked to complete the Self-Rated Speech Scale (SRSS) to rate their speech intelligibility. RESULT PD participants reported significantly lower QOL scores than their caregivers. However, there was no difference between the two groups on the social support and stigma dimensions, indicating that both groups reported similar levels of social support and stigma in their daily lives. A moderate significant correlation was observed between the LSS and PDQ-39 scores in the PD group, suggesting that life satisfaction could affect their QOL. Moreover, moderate correlation was found between the LSS and SRSS, showing that participants self-reported speech intelligibility has an impact on their life satisfaction. CONCLUSION In general, individuals with PD showed lower QOL than their caregivers. Given that the SRSS, LSS and QOL are moderately correlated, identifying patients' perception on their speech intelligibility and life satisfaction could help clinicians to better understand their patients' needs when delivering speech therapy services.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Theory of Mind (ToM), the ability to understand other people's mental states, is essential in everyday social interactions. The relationship between cognitive domains and ToM impairment in Parkinson disease (PD) has been receiving growing attention with ambiguous findings. The objective of the current study was to ascertain which cognitive domain predicts understanding of intentions and the impact of PD-specific clinical measures on ToM performance. A secondary aim was to evaluate whether cognitive impairment mediates the relationship between severity of illness and ToM impairment. METHODS Fifty-one nondemented patients with idiopathic PD, ranging from early to advanced stages, were enrolled. A comprehensive neurocognitive battery and 2 ToM tasks (Hinting Task and Comic Strip Task) were administered during the patients' best "on" medication state. RESULTS Only the task of measuring working memory capacity was significantly associated with both ToM tasks (Hinting Task Spearman rank correlation [ rs] = 0.309, P ≤ .05; Comic Strip Task rs = 0.595, P ≤ .01). Patients with more progressed disease and higher doses of dopaminergic medication performed significantly worse in the Comic Strip Task. Based on the mediation analysis, relationship between the severity of the illness and understanding of intentions was mediated by cognitive flexibility. CONCLUSION In PD, understanding of intentions is related to neurocognition, with working memory and cognitive flexibility playing a crucial role. The severity of PD predicts ToM performance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Caring for a sick child can lead to considerable burden in the caregiver. Comparative studies of burden in mothers of children with different types of disorders are rare. METHODS We assessed levels of and risk factors for burden in mothers of children with leukemia (n: 70) or with cerebral palsy (CP) (n: 69). Subjects were recruited from two hospitals in Ankara. RESULTS Levels of burden or depression were not different between groups. Burden was predicted by the presence of depression in the mother and severity of illness in both groups. In the leukemia group, mothers reported higher burden if the child was male or younger; no such relationship was observed in the CP group. CONCLUSION Our results show that type of illness has an effect on levels of burden. Mothers of children with leukemia should receive more attention, especially if their child is male or younger, to take preventive measures against burden.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Improving quality of life (QoL) is a key issue when dealing with Parkinson's disease (PD). Integrative care shows potential to achieve improvements in QoL. Here, we analyzed whether a community-based, open-label, integrated approach improves QoL in PD patients. METHODS PD patients were screened for eligibility and evaluated by a university-based PD specialist, a PD nurse, and a general neurologist at a local practice. Patients were randomly assigned to a control group (CG), receiving standard German neurological treatment including a baseline assessment and follow-up visit at 6 months, or an interventional group (IG) who received an individually tailored therapy plan and additional home visits. Patients and investigators were not blinded for either intervention. Primary outcome analysis compared the differential change of PDQ-39 from baseline to 6-month follow-up between CG and IG. Between-group changes in mood, motor/non-motor functioning, and cognition were secondary outcomes. RESULTS 300 patients were included and randomized equally to IG and CG. 132 IG and 125 CG patients had a valid PDQ-39 at follow-up and qualified for the modified ITT analysis. PDQ-39 improved more in IG compared to CG [2.2 points (95% CI - 4.4 to 0.1); p = 0.044]. Likewise, change scores between IG and CG favored IG for UPDRS III (p < 0.001, mean change 3.3, 95% CI - 4.9 to - 1.7) and PD-NMS (p < 0.001, mean change 11.3, 95% CI - 17.1 to - 5.5). CONCLUSIONS Data show that an integrated approach, compared to regular PD care, improves QoL as well as motor and nonmotor PD symptoms over 6 months. Future studies need to address the cost-benefit ratio and whether positive effects can be maintained beyond intervention.
