REM sleep behavior disorder and Prodromal Parkinson's Disease in patients with ...
Bugalho, Paulo; Meira, Bruna; Pinho, André; Ventura, Rita; Magriço, Marta; Serôdio, Miguel; Krupka, Danna; Ferreira, Vitor MendesSeveral studies suggested the presence of non-motor symptoms in Essential Tremor (ET), including REM sleep behavioral disorder (RBD). RBD is an essential criterion for Prodromal Parkinson's Disease (PPD), suggesting a link between ET and PD. Our objective was to assess the prevalence and features of ET patients with RBD and PDD. RBD was diagnosed by questionnaire screening, followed by polysomnography. PPD risk...
REM sleep behavior disorder
Bugalho, Paulo; Magriço, Marta; Ferreira, Vítor MendesPublisher Copyright: © 2024 The Authors; Aggressiveness and negative emotions in dreams reports of patients with alfa-synucleinopathies have been associated with cognitive dysfunction. Observation of dream enactment episodes could be a more precise method to capture dream content in patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). Our objective was to assess the relation between aggressive and emotional dream e...
Sleep stability in isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, Parkins...
Bugalho, Paulo; Magriço, MartaPublisher Copyright: © 2022 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.; Background: Non-REM sleep symptoms remain poorly understood in alpha-synucleinopathies. Aims: The aims of the study were to compare sleep stability and transitions, arousals, and sleep cycle structure between isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and dementia with Lewy Bo...
Probable REM-Sleep Behavior Disorder and Dysautonomic Symptoms in Essential Tremor
Barbosa, Raquel; Mendonça, Marcelo; Ladeira, Filipa; Miguel, Rita; Bugalho, PauloBackground: Non-motor symptoms can be present in essential tremor (ET). We intend to assess the frequency of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and dysautonomic symptoms in ET patients and evaluate the differences between patients with ET and RBD (ET-RBD and ET without RBD [ET-nonRBD]). Methods: All ET patients were contacted by telephone. Autonomic symptoms were assessed using the Scales fo...
Non-Motor symptoms in Portuguese Parkinson's Disease patients
Bugalho, Paulo; Lampreia, Tânia; Miguel, Rita; Sousa, Marcelo D.; Caetano, André; Barbosa, RaquelThe prevalence of non-motor symptoms (NMS) in Parkinson's Disease (PD) has varied between studies. Their interrelation isn't totally understood. Also, the relative importance of each symptom, regarding its impact on activities of daily living (ADL) and health related quality of life (HRQL), remains debatable. We assessed all PD patients attending a Portuguese tertiary movement disorders center during one year (...
Impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease: Crossroads between neurology,...
Bugalho, Paulo; Oliveira-Maia, AJNon-motor symptoms contribute significantly to Parkinson's disease (PD) related disability. Impulse control disorders (ICDs) have been recently added to the behavioural spectrum of PD-related non-motor symptoms. Such behaviours are characterized by an inappropriate drive to conduct repetitive behaviours that are usually socially inadequate or result in harmful consequences. Parkinson disease impulse control dis...
REM sleep behavior disorder and motor dysfunction in Parkinson's disease A long...
Bugalho, Paulo; Baptista, Miguel VianaObjectives: Longitudinal assessment of a Parkinson's disease (PD) cohort, to investigate the evolution or REM sleep behavior symptoms (RED) over time and to test the relation between RBD at onset and motor dysfunction progression. Methods: An early stage PD cohort (n = 61) was assessed at two time points, separated by a two years interval. Diagnostic criteria for RBD were: violent behavior during sleep and body...
Normal pressure hydrocephalus: a qualitative study on outcome
Bugalho, Paulo; Alves, Luísa; Ribeiro, OlgaObjective: To describe the natural history and shunt outcome in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and the variables that influence both. Method: Motor and cognitive parameters of 35 patients with NPH, as well as shunt surgery status, were registered at two time points (T0 and T1). Results: Thirteen patients underwent shunt surgery. Favorable outcome in gait function occurred in 5 of 35 patients ...
Predictors of Cognitive Decline in the Early Stages of Parkinson's Disease: A B...
Bugalho, Paulo; Baptista, Miguel VianaOur objectives were to perform a longitudinal assessment of mental status in early stage Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, with brief neuropsychological tests, in order to find predictive factors for cognitive decline. Sixty-one, early stage, and nondemented patients were assessed twice, over a 2-year interval, with a global cognitive test (mini-mental state examination (MMSE)) and a frontal function test (fro...
Motor dysfunction correlates with frontal white matter ischemic changes in pati...
Baptista, Miguel Viana; Bugalho, Paulo; Jordão, Constança; Ribeiro, Olga; Pina, José A Esperança; Ferro, JoséObjectives. To test the relation between white matter lesions (WML) location and physical performance, in aged patients. Methods. SUBJECTS: 29 patients (17 males), aged >65 (mean age 72.6 ± 5.2), with leukoaraiosis. WML was quantified with a visual scale; Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) was measured bilaterally in frontal periventricular lesioned white matter and frontal and parieto-occipital normal appear...
