โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

Although urinary disturbances are more frequent in multiple system atrophy (MSA) than in Parkinson's disease (PD), the striatonigral degeneration (SND) type of MSA is difficult to distinguish from PD, especially when the latter is associated with orthostatic hypotension or urinary symptoms. The pattern of urinary symptoms and urodynamic dysfunction was analyzed in 15 SND and 35 PD patients with urinary complaints. In SND, dysuria with or without chronic retention, frequently associated with a hypoactive detrusor and low urethral pressure, permitted early and reliable diagnosis. In PD, urgency to void, with or without difficulty voiding, but without chronic retention, associated with detrusor hyperreflexia and normal urethral sphincter function, predominated. In clinical practice, the study of urinary symptoms and bladder function may help to distinguish SND from PD in patients with urinary disturbances.

## Abstract Over the past decade, major progress has been achieved in the identification of genes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) and parkinsonism. Five genes have now been shown conclusively to play a role in PD susceptibility. Mutations in three of these genes, __PRKN__, __PINK1,__ and _

## Abstract Pain sensitivity in Parkinson's disease is known to be altered in an Lโ€dopaโ€dependent manner with increased spinal nociception and experimental pain perception in the medicationโ€defined โ€œoffโ€ state. As Parkinson's diseaseโ€related pain can be an early symptom in Parkinson's disease, the
