Sleep architecture in progressive supranuclear palsy: A video-polysomnography study
Conclusions: Sleep architecture is altered in PSP even during the early stages of the disease. There is reduced total sleep including both non-REM and REM sleep, sleep efficiency, prolonged sleep latencies, and increased wake duration. This correlates with the neurodegenerative processes affecting the anatomical region regulating the sleep/wake cycle like dorsal raphe nucleus, locus coeruleus (LC), pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN).

P-tau231 as a diagnostic biomarker for Alzheimer & #39;s Disease and mild cognitive impairment: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion: P-tau231 showed to be a valuable biomarker of discrimination AD, MCI, and NC based on our findings. This meta-analysis showed that the CSF p-tau231 can reliably differentiate AD patients from MCI and NC patients. Furthermore, based on our findings the level of CSF p-tau231 was significantly higher in MCI compared to NC. Therefore, p-tau231 can be added to the list of potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of AD and MCI in further studies. However, further investigations are needed to confirm our findings.

COVID-19 and dementia; Hard to forget yet haunting forgetfulness!
Ariyanachi Kaliappan, Archana Gaur, Varatharajan Sakthivadivel, Yuvaraj Balan, Lakshmi Jyothi Tadi, Raja SundaramurthyAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2022 25(5):832-840 The current pandemic has affected almost everyone worldwide. Although the majority of people survive the illness, bad cognitive repercussions might last a long time, resulting in a lower quality of life and disability, particularly in severe cases. We tried to understand and bring together the various possible mechanisms leading to dementia in COVID-19. The link between COVID-19 and dementia will help public health workers plan and allocate resources...

Movement disorder in demyelinating disease: Tracing the Charcot & #39;s foot print
Rashmi Singh, Sanjay PandeyAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2022 25(5):821-831 Movement disorders may be one of the neurological manifestations of demyelinating disorders. They can manifest in Parkinsonism or a wide spectrum of hyperkinetic movement disorders including tremor, paroxysmal dyskinesia, dystonia, chorea, and ballism. Some of these disorders occur during an acute episode of demyelination, whereas others can develop later or even may precede the onset of the demyelinating disorders. The pathophysiology of movement disorders in demyelination is complex and the current evidence indicates a wide involvement o...

Parkinson & #39;s disease and wearable technology: An Indian perspective
Vaishali Bagrodia, Vikram V Holla, Nitish L Kamble, Pramod K Pal, Ravi YadavAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2022 25(5):817-820 Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder. In India, an accurate number of PD patients remains uncertain owing to the unawareness of PD symptoms in the geriatric population and the large discrepancy between the number of PD patients and trained neurologists. Constructing additional neurological care centers along with using technology and integrating it into digital healthcare platforms will help reduce this burden. Use of technology in PD di...

Management of Parkinson & #39;s disease dysarthria: Can artificial intelligence provide the solution ?
Raj Kumar, Manoj Tripathy, Niraj Kumar, Radhey Shyam AnandAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2022 25(5):810-816 Speech disorder is a significant problem for people affected with Parkinson's disease (PD) leading to a substantial disability to communicate with others. PD affects the voice, including changes in pitch, intensity, articulation, and syllable rate.We aimed to study the current status of artificial intelligence (AI) using machine learning algorithms (MLAs) in the assessment of speech abnormalities in PD along with the generation of intelligible synthetic speech for voice rehabilitation. We searched ...
