Abstract
Sleep disorders are common in people with Parkinson's disease. These disorders, which increase in frequency throughout the course of the neurodegenerative disease and impair quality of life, include insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, circadian disorders, obstructive sleep apnoea, restless legs syndrome, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder. The causes of these sleep disorders are complex and multifactorial, including the degeneration of the neural structures that modulate sleep, the detrimental effect of some medications on sleep, the parkinsonian symptoms that interfere with mobility and comfort in bed, and comorbidities that disrupt sleep quality and quantity. The clinical evaluation of sleep disorders include both subjective (eg, questionnaires or diaries) and objective (eg, actigraphy or video polysomnography) assessments. The management of patients with Parkinson's disease and a sleep disorder is challenging and should be individualised. Treatment can include education aiming at changes in behaviour (ie, sleep hygiene), cognitive behavioural therapy, continuous dopaminergic stimulation at night, and specific medications. REM sleep behaviour disorder can occur several years before the onset of parkinsonism, suggesting that the implementation of trials of neuroprotective therapies should focus on people with this sleep disorder.

Abstract
Background Continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion (CSAI) is one of the advanced therapies for Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods A systematic review of all published articles in English on CSAI for PD till January 30, 2022 was conducted. Results A total of 82 articles met the search criteria. Publications included retrospective or prospective open-label observational studies, with a limited number of randomized control trials (RCT). Publications were highly heterogeneous and focused on different aspects of CSAI and included clinical audits, effects on cognition/behavior, axial symptoms, nocturnal issues, adverse events/reasons for discontinuation and comparison with other continuous dopaminergic therapies. CSAI was used in patients who presented severe motor fluctuations not resolved by oral therapy, poor candidates for deep brain stimulation (DBS) due to cognitive/behavioral issues or in those with DBS weaning effect. Recent studies have also shown that CSAI was useful for nocturnal usage in advanced PD, in addition to daytime utilization. Adverse effects were common and include skin lesions, sedation and nausea. Pump management difficulties and patient decisions were common reasons for therapy dropout, predominantly during the initial stages of the CSAI. Conclusion There is consistent agreement on the benefits of CSAI in reducing OFF periods and improving ON periods without troublesome dyskinesia and specific motor and non-motor symptoms. Although there is a paucity of RCTs, current data from almost 30 years of use suggests CSAI to be beneficial in advanced cases of PD.

Abstract
Background We recently demonstrated in a randomized controlled trial (APOMORPHEE, NCT02940912) that night-time only subcutaneous apomorphine infusion improves sleep disturbances and insomnia in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease and moderate to severe insomnia. Objectives To identify the best candidates for receiving night-time only subcutaneous apomorphine infusion in routine care. Methods In this post-hoc analysis of APOMORPHEE, we compared the characteristics of patients according to whether they chose to continue night-time only subcutaneous apomorphine infusion at the end of the study period or not. Results Half of the patients (22/42) chose to continue the treatment. Off duration (day or night), painful Off dystonia, and insomnia severity at baseline were associated with night-time only apomorphine continuation. Multivariate analysis retained only Off duration as an independent predictor of continuation. Conclusions The best candidates for night-time only apomorphine are patients with severe and prolonged Off periods (day or night) and severe insomnia.

Abstract
A prospective analysis of APO treatment of 22 PD patients in the initial stages of advanced PD. Motor and non-motor symptoms, cognitive function and quality of life were assessed over 6 months. APO resulted in significant improvements in motor function, but dyskinesia did not worsen. Overall non-motor symptom burden was reduced, and sleep/fatigue and mood improved with APO. APO also improved apathy, quality of life scores and executive functioning (attention, planning)
Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients usually start treatment with apomorphine infusion (APO) in later stages of advanced PD (aPD). This timing limits the evaluation of its motor efficacy and other potential clinical benefits throughout the full course of aPD. Methods We prospectively analyzed the effect of APO on motor and non-motor symptoms, cognitive function and quality of life (QoL) in 22 PD patients with early stage aPD, defined as: age < 71 years and diagnosis of aPD for < 3 years. Results At baseline, mean (±SD) age and disease duration were 59.4 ± 6.1 and 8.7 ± 3.5 years, respectively. After 6 months of APO treatment, daily off-time decreased from 4.98 ± 2.37 to 1.48 ± 1.47 h (p ≤ 0.001) and UPDRS IV scores from 7.00 ± 2.58 to 5.32 ± 2.48 (p = 0.018). Dyskinesia did not worsen with APO despite an overall increase in levodopa equivalent daily dose. Mean NMSS scores improved with APO, from 52.50 ± 27.24 to 38.68 ± 27.17 (p = 0.002), with particular improvements in apathy and sleep quality. Mean PDQ-39 score was reduced with APO from 31.96 ± 11.93 to 19.27 ± 11.86 (p ≤ 0.001). Overall, cognition did not change after APO, while slight improvements were observed in executive functioning (attention and planning). All but one patient eventually underwent subthalamic deep brain stimulation. Conclusion In patients with early stage initial aPD, s substantial benefit of APO was observed on motor symptoms, driven by a 70% reduction in off-time versus baseline, superior to that observed in previous prospective studies. APO also improved frontal dysfunction in PD patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heterogeneity of symptoms and individual variability of progression characterizes Parkinson's disease. Unmet therapeutic needs include a cure, disease modification, and improvement of available marketed dopamine-substituting compounds. Personalized treatment, tailored to the patients' needs and symptoms, aims to ameliorate impaired motor behavior and non-motor features. Injection or infusion of apomorphine is a therapeutic option for more advanced patients with severe levodopa associated motor complications. AREAS COVERED This narrative review summarizes the subcutaneous administration, efficacy, and side effects of the non-ergot derivative dopamine agonist apomorphine following a non-systematic literature research. EXPERT OPINION Subcutaneous apomorphine hydrochloride application rapidly terminates intervals with severe motor impairment with bolus injections. Oscillation of motor behavior well responds to continuous apomorphine infusions. Long-term application of the commercially available apomorphine hydrochloride solution sooner or later affects skin and oral mucosa. Onset of skin nodules associated with subcutaneous tissue inflammation probably results from the antioxidant preservative sodium metabisulfite in the apomorphine solution. Addition of another better tolerated and safer antioxidant instead of sodium metabisulphite or use of an already available concentrated apomorphine-free base formulation will enhance its future use, its tolerability, safety, and acceptance of subcutaneous and sublingual application.

Abstract
Sleep is responsible for several functions required for homeostasis. REM sleep could be a rearrangement period where limits of certain functions can be moved to a new state of balance. This study proposes that dopaminergic deficit may be responsible for the circadian dysregulation that occur with neurodegeneration and therefore a restitution of REM sleep and an improvement in Parkinson disease’s symptoms can be achieved with the controlled use of dopamine agonists during the night. Twenty parkinsonian patients underwent to a onemonth study of subcutaneous nocturnal apomorphine treatment at the beginning of each REM stage. This therapeutic approach led to a significant benefit for patients in all of the 3 UPDRS scores. The mean change from baseline in the MDS-UPDRS Part I, II and III was significantly greater in the apomorphine vs. placebo group. In the UPDRS Part I total score was 0.8 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.612, -0.012) and 3.3 (95% CI: 4.732, 1.867) for the placebo and apomorphine groups, respectively (difference between groups: 2.5, 95% CI: 3.454, 1.545; P = 0.002). For UPDRS Part II total score, the mean change was 1.3 (95% CI: 2.692, - 0.09) and 4.6 (6.916, 2.28). Difference between groups: 3.3, 95% CI: 4.752, 1.847; P = 0.013. In UPDRS Part III was 1.1 (95% CI: 2.425, -0.225) and 5.5 (95% CI: 8.808, 2.191). Difference between groups: 4.4, (95% CI: 6.321, 2.478; P = 0.012). We can conclude that sleep alteration in PD can be improved by stimulation of D2 receptors. The symptomatic benefits obtained due to restoration of REM functions were significant.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that features progressive, disabling motor symptoms, such as bradykinesia, rigidity, and resting tremor. Nevertheless, some non-motor symptoms, including depression, REM sleep behavior disorder, and olfactive impairment, are even earlier features of PD. At later stages, apathy, impulse control disorder, neuropsychiatric disturbances, and cognitive impairment can present, and they often become a heavy burden for both patients and caregivers. Indeed, PD increasingly compromises activities of daily life, even though a high variability in clinical presentation can be observed among people affected. Nowadays, symptomatic drugs and non-pharmaceutical treatments represent the best therapeutic options to improve quality of life in PD patients. The aim of the present review is to provide a practical, stage-based guide to pharmacological management of both motor and non-motor symptoms of PD. Furthermore, warning about drug side effects, contraindications, as well as dosage and methods of administration, are highlighted here, to help the physician in yielding the best therapeutic strategies for each symptom and condition in patients with PD.

Abstract
Apomorphine is now recognized as the oldest antiparkinsonian drug on the market. Though still underused, it is increasingly prescribed in Europe for patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) with motor fluctuations. However, its history is far from being limited to movement disorders. This paper traces the history of apomorphine, from its earliest empirical use, to its synthesis, pharmacological development, and numerous indications in human and veterinary medicine, in light of its most recent uses and newest challenges. From shamanic rituals in ancient Egypt and Mesoamerica, to the treatment of erectile dysfunction, from being discarded as a pharmacological tool to becoming an essential antiparkinsonian drug, the path of apomorphine in the therapeutic armamentarium has been tortuous and punctuated by setbacks and groundbreaking discoveries. Throughout history, three main clinical indications stood out: emetic (gastric emptying, respiratory disorders, aversive conditioning), sedative (mental disorders, clinical anesthesia, alcoholism), and antiparkinsonian (fluctuations). New indications may arise in the future, both in PD (palliative care, nonmotor symptoms, withdrawal of oral dopaminergic medication), and outside PD, with promising work in neuroprotection or addiction.
