CSF α-Synuclein Decreases Early in Drug-Naive Patients With Parkinson Disease
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) α-synuclein decreases early in untreated Parkinson disease (PD), yet α-synuclein does not appear to correlate with disease progression. This is according to a study in Movement Disorders. The ongoing, longitudinal study (Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative) included newly diagnosed, untreated patients with PD (n=423; mean age, 61.7 years) as well as age- and…

Single-Dose Midazolam Nasal Spray Demonstrates High Seizure Termination in Patients With Seizure Clusters
Intermittent and repeated exposure to midazolam administered as a single‐dose nasal spray was generally well tolerated and effective for terminating seizures within 10 minutes in a large proportion of patients who experienced seizure clusters.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Risk and the Role of Genetics
Inherited and noninherited genetic factors contribute equally to the risk for developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and first-degree relatives of people with ALS tend to have a higher risk for the disease compared with the general population, even in the absence of known ALS-associated genetic mutations.
